“…Agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan's economy and has been designated by the government as the engine of national economic growth and poverty reduction; the mix trends in this sector are due to the availability of water and technological resources, and the economic growth in 2007 was highly linked to agriculture production [50]. Agriculture provides not only raw materials for the manufacturing industry but also tremendous employment opportunities [53]. The sharp decrease in poverty was due to high economic growth, agriculture, FDI, and to some extent, increased tourism.…”

Tourism is considered a competent driver of development in emerging economies. This study assesses the role of tourism in shaping the fundamental pillars of development in developing economies by targeting the case of Pakistan. Various econometric techniques and approaches were used to investigate the causal relationships of tourism with economic growth, energy and agriculture development, and poverty. This study highlights the important role of tourism in the development of emerging economies. The findings of our study suggest that a 1% increase in tourism significantly enhances gross domestic product (GPD) by 0.051%, foreign direct investment by 2.647%, energy development by 0.134%, and agriculture development by 0.26%, and reduces poverty by 0.51% in the long run. Hence, policy-makers should be informed that through public interventions, tourism can advance development by the design and implementation of integrated policies in developing economies. In addition, policy consistency and coherence are essential for competitiveness, sustainability, and maximizing benefits from tourism.

“…The groundwater table is falling at the rate of nearly 0.3 m per year (Hussain, 2002) due to increasing groundwater exploitation and utilization of more than 7 m (Kahlown et al, 2007;Rehman et al, 2016aRehman et al, , 2016bRehman et al, , 2016cRehman et al, , 2016d. Increases in fuel prices have also resulted in high charges for pumping groundwater, thus causing a decline in net economic profits.…”

Background: The basic objective of this study was to examine the relationship between the rice output, its production area, water availability, and agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) of Pakistan. Annual time series data for 1970-2015 were collected from the National Food Security and Research, Economic Survey of Pakistan, and Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (various publications). Methods: Rice crop data were analyzed using the ordinary least square method and the augmented Dickey-Fuller test. Were interpreted using the Johansen cointegration test. Results: Our study revealed the existence of a long-standing relationship between rice output, its production area, and water availability with the agricultural GDP of Pakistan. Regression results indicate that rice output and cultivated area have a significant and positive relationship with agricultural GDP, while water availability has a negative relationship. Conclusions: The study suggests that the government of Pakistan should design new policies and funding schemes for developing and improving water availability.

“…Water shortage and scarcity result in the degradation of land under rainfed agriculture and also lower food production, particularly in the agricultural and semiagricultural zones of Africa (De Fraiture et al, 2010). About 80% of the world's agriculture comprises of rainfed land, which produces 80% of global food (Falkenmark et al, 2001;Valipour, 2013;Rehman et al, 2015).…”

This study investigates and explores the relationship between wheat crop yield, area under wheat crop, and agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) in Pakistan. Times series data from 1970-2015 were used in this study. The Phillips-Perron unit root test was used to check the stationarity of the data. The Johansen cointegration test was performed to evaluate the long-term relationships between the dependent and independent variables. An econometric ordinary least square method was applied to estimate the relationship between wheat crop yield, area under wheat crop, and agricultural GDP. The results of the Johansen cointegration test revealed a long-term relationship between the variables. The regression results indicate that wheat crop yield has a positive and significant relationship with agricultural GDP, while the area under wheat crop has a negative relationship with agricultural GDP.
