Application of a Keynesian General Equilibrium Model to Analysing Growth of Output Over Time for Pakistan
摘要
This essay sets out to examine the pattern of Pakistan’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth using a Keynesian general equilibrium model to analyse and explain the trajectory of GDP growth over the long run of the last 50 years. The model gives a very clear answer. Pre-1992, high GDP growth of 6 per cent on trend was driven significantly by investment. Post-1992, lower GDP growth of 4 per cent on trend was driven significantly by consumption.
