Abstract | The aim of this study is to examine the potential impact of agriculture growth on the poors in Pakistan during 1964-2006. This research is extended within the phenomena of Poverty Bias of Growth (PBG) as proposed by McCulloch and Baulch (2000) in the literature. The cumulative outcome of four decades (43 years) is anti-poor. The results of impulse response analysis, indicate that one standard error shock to agricultural growth have negative impact on rural poverty, while one shock in income inequality causes rural poverty to fall up to next 10 years. At last, one error shock to poverty causes agriculture income to deteriorate in the next 10 years. |
