QAU is Pakistan’s leading university. We have consistently been ranked as the top academic

institution in Pakistan by the Higher Education Commission. Our School of Economics, in

particular, has earned a reputation of excellence. Our graduates at the Master’s, M.Phil., and

Ph.D. levels are strategically placed in the corporate sector, academic institutions and policy

making positions in the federal and provincial governments. I congratulate School of Economics

on completing 50 years of excellence.

Dr. Javed Ashraf Vice Chancellor, Quaid-i-Azam University

The Faculty of Social Sciences offers a range of degree programs in the disciplines of

Anthropology, Area Studies, Asian Civilizations, Defense & Strategic Studies, Economics, Gender

Studies, History, International Relations, Law, Pakistan Studies, Political Science, Psychology and

Sociology.

Over time, the Faculty has expanded both in terms of disciplines and degree programs.

Responding to the signals of public demand, Undergraduate Programs in Economics,

Management Sciences, Law International Relations & Politics were launched in 2010 and 2013

respectively.

The School of Economics (previously the Department of Economics) is contributing in the

promotion of Social Sciences in its own way. By promoting research activities and establishing

links with the commercial/industrial sector it is providing the best opportunities to its graduates

to help raise the standard of awareness in the society and lessen the burden of unemployment in

Pakistan. The Quaid-i-Azam University is proud of its economics graduates who are at the

forefront of all major policy making institutions and are performing their duties in the best

possible way.

I am confident that under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Muhammad Idrees, Director, the vibrant

Faculty of the School of Economics are doing an excellent and challenging job in not only raising

the profile of the Quaid-i-Azam University by publishing both at national and international level

but also are helping their students to achieve the bright and successful goals of their life.

P R E F A C E

The School of Economics, formerly known as Department of Economics, is the pioneer department within Faculty

of Social Sciences. It was established in 1967 and thus completed its fifty years of excellence in 2017. SOE has

produced around 3000 M.Sc. Graduates, 234 BS Graduates, 464 M.Phil. Graduates and 34 Ph.D. Graduates. Our

graduates have widely-spread throughout the globe and are serving (or retired) in celebrated organizations

including World Bank, International Monetary Fund and International Labor organization. A significant number of

graduates are teaching in world class universities including Oxford University, McMaster University, California

State University and University of Pennsylvania. Many of them hold the key influential positions in the society; they

are serving for Government of Pakistan in various capacities. Our graduates are teaching in almost all leading

universities of Pakistan namely QAU, LUMS, IBA, NUST and PIDE.

The success story of SOE is etched by its dedicated, committed and promising faculty. Professor Dr. S.M. Naseem

and Professor Dr. Zafar Ahmad Vaince are the two pioneering faculty members who played significant role in

establishing the department. The contributions of Professor Aly Ercelawn and Professor Nigar Ahmad in uplifting

the teaching standards can never be ignored. Professor Dr. Muhammad Ali Chaudhary also had a long association

with SOE. He served as Chairman for about nine years and took radical measures to improve research and

teaching. Professor Dr. Abid Aman Burki, Professor Dr. Muhammad Aslam and Professor Tariq Javed also had

invaluable contributions. Professor Dr. Aliya H. Khan was one of the most proactive faculty members, SOE will

always be indebted to her services; she had an indispensable role in maintaining standards at SOE.

The history of SOE is incomplete without Professor Dr. Eatzaz Ahmad, he is the most industrious, committed and

dedicated faculty member in 50 years of SOE. He is accredited for creating an aura of high teaching and research

standards at SOE. I remember the days when a bulk of students from other universities used to attend his lectures

on Econometrics, Applied Economics and Microeconomics. Regarding thesis supervision, I feel no hesitation in

claiming that PhD program of SOE revived due to his sole efforts. He supervised 20 PhD theses (out of total 34 so

far) and was informally engaged and many more. Professor Eatzaz Ahmad supervised 98 M.Phil. theses (out of 370

at the time of his retirement). Apart from his superb teaching and high-quality research, he is an excellent person:

caring, helpful and friendly. Almost all contemporary faculty members of SOE are his students. He served as a true

captain and mentored junior faculty members to take responsibility after him. He will always be remembered

lovingly as father of SOE.

At present, SOE has 12 full time faculty members whereas another two are on leave. It is worth mentioning that all

hold a Ph.D. degree, which makes SOE probably the only school / department in country with all Ph.D. faculty

members. The faculty of SOE has excellent teaching abilities with diverse specializations and rich research work.

They have supervised numerous Ph.D. and M.Phil. theses which are highly evaluated by external examiners. During

last three years, the existing faculty members have more than 100 research publications to their credit in journals

of national and international repute.

I assumed the charge of Director, SOE after the retirement of Professor Dr. Eatzaz Ahmad. At that time, it was felt

that SOE had gained enough experience to explore new avenues. Therefore, along with teaching and research, we

started focusing on different channels to disseminate and share knowledge. In this regard we initiated seminars

and conferences. Last year we organized first ever international conference of SOE in which four foreign

School of Economics, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. April - 2018 iii

universities and 29 national institutes participated. The second conference is planned in August this year. The

events like Pre- Budget Seminar and distinguished lectures are now the regular features of SOE. The basic hurdle in

such activities was absence of proper seminar hall. Now with the help of our alumni, we have established a state-

of-the-art seminar hall. This seminar hall will provide appropriate space for holding distinguished lectures,

seminars and conferences. Most recently the School of Economics has launched a research journal titled Pakistan

Economic Review (PER), which is another landmark for SOE. The purpose of PER is to disseminate the scholarly

research and bridge the gap between academic research and the research needs of Industry. To explore the

research and teaching collaborations, SOE had recently signed MOUs with different universities. The schemes of

studies for all academic programs were also revised. All recent developments are the result of team effort and the

rigorous training of our seniors especially Dr. Eatzaz Ahmad and Dr. Aliya H. Khan.

The management of the SOE understands the gap between the industry and public-sector universities. The SOE

believes in enhancing the networking with the industry to bridge this gap. To accomplish this task, we shall

enhance the networking with the public, private and international organizations to promote the employment of

our graduates, especially the graduates of our newly undergraduate program. In view of this, we shall launch job

fairs; whereby private, public and international organizations will be invited to consolidate the employment ability

of our students.

This booklet gives an overview of quinquagenarian journey of School of Economics. We took care in compiling the

information of faculty and alumni. However, errors and omissions are expected, kindly accept our apology in

advance.

Director

School of Economics, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. April - 2018 iv

E V O L U T I O N O F T H E S C H O O L O F E C O N O M I C S

Economics was one of the five academic departments that constituted University of Islamabad at the time of its

established in 1967. (The university was renamed as Quaid-i-Azam University on the 100th

birthday of Quaid-i-Azam in

1976.) The department started formally offering MSc program in September 1969 with a small faculty consisting of two

regular faculty members Prof M. Anisur Rehman and Prof S. M. Naseem along with two visiting faculty members Prof

Wahidul Haque and Prof Irfanul Haq. Two small batches of about ten students each were admitted in MSc (Final)

program who graduated in one year. This was a period of political turmoil in the country that culminated into separation

of former East Pakistan as Bangladesh. Prof Rehman and the two visiting faculty members soon left the department, while

Prof Naseem continued as chairman of the department and played a key role in faculty hiring, curriculum development

and other academic matters in the following years.

The first regular batch of 12 students was admitted in two-year MSc program in 1971. In the next few years a number of

important faculty appointments were made that included Prof. Zafar Ahmad Vaince, Prof Aly Ercelawn, Prof. Ejaz Nabi,

Prof Anjum Naseem, Prof Nigar Ahmad, Prof Ehtesham and Prof M. Ali Chaudhary. Later on Prof Syed Nawab Haider

Naqvi, Prof Hussain Mullick and Prof Inayat Ullah Mangla were also appointed. During the 1970s the department was able

to set high academic standard and established its reputation as the leading center of learning. A very small number

(usually less than 33%) of students admitted to MSc program were able to complete the degree. Students were exposed

to the latest articles published in top ranked journals of economics. The department was particularly famous for the

rigorous treatment of microeconomics at the hands of Prof Ercelawn. A single course with him would require tens of

weekly hours of study just to pass with C grade.

The department started offering MPhil degree in 1977 but the program could not succeed mainly because quite a few

faculty members left the department for one reason or the other. Some of the faculty members left to take up better

positions elsewhere, while some left to pursue higher education abroad. A few faculty members were also disheartened

by controversial administrative and political environment in and around the university. Another factor that contributed to

slow progress in MPhil program was that the department mainly focused on high quality teaching. However, teaching

quality also deteriorated with shrinking of faculty. The declining trend was further fuelled by the university’s decision to

reduce its benchmarks for successful completion of degree that allowed non-serious students to survive in the system.

This process continued almost throughout the 1980s. Although some of the faculty members who had left in late 1970s

did return during 1980s but except for Prof Vaince and Prof Mullick none could settle for more than a couple of years.

With no hope of regaining the standards set in the 1970s and much better job opportunities readily available inside and

outside Pakistan, it was an uphill task to hire qualified faculty or even to keep the existing faculty. Nevertheless, Prof

Vaince, who served as chairman for most of the period, was able to keep the ship floating with the generous help of a few

dedicated visiting professors, notably Dr. A. R. Kemal, Dr. Shaukat Ali Niazi, Dr. Sarfraz Qureshi, Dr. Abdul Salam, Dr. Sohail

Malik, Dr. Ashfaq H. Khan and Dr. Rashid Aziz.

Against all odds, Prof Vaince succeeded in making some crucial appointments. Prof Eatzaz Ahmad and Prof Tariq Javed

were inducted as lecturers in 1978 and 1980 respectively. Both of them played key role in revival of standards later in

1990s and dedicated their entire productive years to the department. Nevertheless, the process of recovery in true sense

started in the late 1980s when Prof Aliya Hashmi Khan, Prof Abid Aman Burki and Prof Pervaiz Azim were inducted as new

faculty members, Prof M. Ali Chaudhary rejoined on second appointment and Prof Eatzaz Ahmad returned after

completing PhD degree. Though teaching standards were raised substantially, the new breed of faculty placed more

emphasis on research. The MPhil program that could not take off in the 1980s got a real momentum. Small batches of

around 10 students were admitted in each semester on regular basis and about half of them were able to complete their

degrees within the normal period.

With the induction of fresh faculty the department decided to start PhD program but it turned out to be a pre-mature

decision just like the MPhil program in 1980s. Only one of the 25-30 students admitted in the program could complete

PhD. Dr. Hamayatullah defended his thesis under the supervision of Prof. M. Ali Chaudhary in 1994 and became the first

PhD graduate from the department. During the early 1990s Prof Eatzaz Ahmad and Prof Pervaiz Azim took leave to take

School of Economics, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. April - 2018 v

up teaching positions abroad, three junior faculty members went abroad to improve their qualifications and Prof Vaince

and Prof Mullick retired. However, this did not cause the late 1970s like situation. Prof Aliya Khan was still there, Prof

Aslam Chaudhary was appointed as new faculty member and Prof Tariq Javed rejoined the department after completing

PhD. However, the PhD program was almost abandoned, while MPhil program was retained and further streamlined

under the leadership of Prof M Ali Chaudhary and Prof Aslam Chaudhary.

The department was once again revived when Prof Eatzaz Ahmad rejoined the department on the invitation of Vice

Chancelly in 1995 and Prof Abid Burki and Prof Mushtaq Ahmad retuned after completing PhD degrees in late 1990s. PhD

program was restarted with a few regular batches in late 1990s. The first thesis completed in the second phase was by Dr.

Nisar Hussain Hamdani under the supervision of Prof Eatzaz Ahmad. To ensure that the thesis met high standard, it was

sent to Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania and Ohio State University for evaluation. Dr. Hamdani successfully

defended his thesis in 2004 and soon after left on Post-Doc fellowships at Harvard University and London School of

Economics. This was a turning point for the research degree programs of the department, which was followed by

successful completion of 34 PhD degrees till 2018. Most of the evaluation reports of these theses were obtained from top

ranked universities of world including Harvard University, University of Stanford, Yale University, University of Minnesota,

University of Pennsylvania, London School of Economics and other such universities in Canada, Europe and Japan. Prof

Eatzaz Ahmad was instrumental in making the PhD program successful and raising research standards for MPhil program

as well. Prof Eatzaz Ahmad became Dean Faculty of Social Sciences (The first Dean from School/Department of

Economics) and eventually Vice Chancellor before his retirement in 2015.

It is important to mention here the contribution of Prof Aliya H Khan and Prof Tariq Javed both of whom devoted their

entire careers to the department despite having ample opportunities of availing more rewarding careers elsewhere. They

supervised a few excellent PhD theses in the areas of human resource, education, public sector economics and finance.

They served the department with patience and humility and inculcated among students the spirit of tolerance and human

dignity. Prof Tariq Javed died of heart attack while he was conducting oral defense of a PhD student at Bahauddin

Zakariya University in 2011. Prof Aliya Khan rose to the position of Dean Faculty of Social Sciences in 2014 and retired in

2017. Prof Eatzaz Ahmad, Prof Aliya Khan and Prof Tariq Javed were highly motivated to serve at Quaid-i-Azam University

where they could contribute to lives of students from backward areas with poor financial position. All three of them

remained steadfast in their resolve till the end. Prof Mazhar Iqbal also served the department from 2002 to 2017. He was

a very dedicated and hardworking professor and he supervised quite a few theses in the areas of macroeconomics,

monetary economics and international finance.

With the establishment of Higher Education Commission that replaced Universities Grants Commission in 2002, Public

sector universities were advised to start four-year BS program and phase out the two-year MSc program. Department of

Economics was the first department of the university to take the initiative under guidance of Prof Eatzaz Ahmad. In 2010

the department was upgraded to School of Economics and its first batch of about 120 students was admitted, out of

whom 66 students completed the degree. The program has since been running successfully with about 60 students

graduating each year. The two year MSc program was completely phased out in 2016.

After the retirement of the old guards, a younger set of faculty members has been serving School of Economics. Currently

there are 14 faculty members, all holding PhD degree. Prof Idrees is currently Director of the School and he specializes in

microeconomics and economic welfare. Prof Wasim Shahid Malik is Associate Professor, specializing in macroeconomics

and econometrics. Prof Abdul Jalil is also Associate Professor and he specializes in applied economics, energy and

environment. Both Prof Malik and Prof Jalil are currently on deputation holding State Bank of Pakistan Memorial Chairs.

These three senior faculty members have produced high quality research in the areas of applied microeconomics,

economic welfare, macroeconomics, monetary policy, energy and environment.

There is no doubt that the school/department was at peak in terms of teaching quality for a short period in 1970s and it

remained on another prolonged peak in research quality in particular and teaching quality to certain extent during late

1990s and 2000s. How does it perform in future will depend primarily on the level of dedication and persistence of the

younger faculty, who do have potential to achieve high academic standards.

SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS,

QUAID-I-AZAM UNIVERSITY, ISLAMABAD

1. INTRODUCTION

The Department of Economics, the first department within Faculty of Social Sciences, was established in 1967. Initially,

it offered M.Sc. degree program which was later consolidated with introduction of M.Phil. and Ph.D. programs in 1978

and 1987 respectively. After more than four decades of public service and nation building, the Department of

Economics transformed into the School of Economics (SOE) and launched the BS Economics Undergraduate 4 Years

program in 2010. It is worth mentioning that School of Economics was pioneer in launching BS 4 Year undergraduate

program at Quaid-i-Azam University.

2. VISION

To broaden the opportunity set of Pakistani youth through affordable high-quality education and training in the field

of Economics. The School of Economics strives after achieving a leadership position amongst the public sector

providers of higher education by broadening and deepening the access to education in Economics without

compromising on quality standards of academic excellence.

3. OBJECTIVES

At the School of Economics, we toil to maintain emphasis on quality teaching in economic theory and quantitative

methods of economic analysis & research in line with global standards of teaching & research in the field of

Economics. The conversion of the Department of Economics into the School of Economics (in 2010) has extended our

horizon of teaching & research and has created opportunities for developing and launching new programs and

courses. The School focuses on providing quality education at the BS, M.Phil and Ph.D levels, and is geared towards

developing professional expertise in Economics.

4. ACADEMIC PROGRAM

4.1 Regular Degree Programs

SOE launched BS Economics Undergraduate 4-Years program in Fall semester 2010 along with the stable M.Phil and

PhD programs. The admissions in M.Sc. Economics were discontinued in 2014. Therefore at present SOE offers BS,

M.Phil and Ph.D. degree programs.

a) M.Sc. Economics

M.Sc. Economics program has remained in the limelight of School of Economics (formerly known as Department of

Economics) for more than four decades. Since 1967, around 3,000 M.Sc. graduates have successfully completed

placements with notable organizations all around the world including World Bank, International Monetary Fund,

International Labor organization, United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, European

Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research. A significant number of graduates are teaching in world class

universities including Oxford University, McMaster University, California State University and University of

Pennsylvania. Our graduates are teaching in almost all leading universities of Pakistan including QAU, LUMS, NUST,

LSE, PIDE, IIUI, FJWU BZU, UOS and UOP. A significant number are serving in State Bank of Pakistan, Ministries, NGOs

and commercial bank. In short our M.Sc. has been a success story. In 2010, the focus of SOE shifted to 4 year under

graduate program and M.Sc. Economics program was gradually phased out. The last batch of M.Sc. passed out in the

year 2016.

O V E R V I E W


b) B.S. Economics

BS Economics (4-year degree program) was initiated in 2010 and regular admissions on annual basis are offered ever

since. SOE offers four specializations in BS Economics including Economics, Development Economics, Finance &

Economics and International Economics. The intake in BS Economics program was intentionally decreased for 3rd

, 4th

and 5th

batches and after complete phase out of M.Sc. program, we substantially increased intake in BS program. At

present, 464 students are enrolled in our BS Economics program, which makes it one of the largest in country. The

first batch of BS Economics passed out in 2014 and since then, four batches had passed out. The number of passed out

students per year are given below:

Figure 1: BS. Graduates, School of Economics, QAU

It is pertinent to mention that graduates of this program had captured a good reputation in job market. Our BS

graduates are serving in leading organizations of Pakistan like State Bank of Pakistan, Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd, Federal

Board of Revenue, Ministry of Planning Development & Reform and various commercial banks. A significant number of

BS graduates went abroad for higher studies or enrolled themselves in M.Phil or Ph.D in top most universities of

Pakistan including QAU, LUMS, PIDE and NUST etc.

c) M.Phil Economics

School of Economics commenced M.Phil. program in 1978. Initially the intake was quite low, but with the passage of

time the enrollments in this program had soared substantially. At present, 80 students enrolled in M.Phil Economics of

SOE. So far, School of Economics had produced 464 M.Phil graduates. The chart below summarizes our M.Phil

graduates over time.

A complete list of M.Phil graduates with the title of their research theses is given in Section 4. Research work is

evidently conducted in all major areas of economics including poverty, income inequality, monetary economics,

development economics, financial economics, production economics, consumer behavior, macroeconomics, labor

economics, energy economics, environmental economics, international economics and health economics. A large

number of M.Phil theses are converted in research articles which are published in journals of national and

international repute including Applied Economics, Economic Modeling, Energy Economics, International Review of

Economics & Finance, Applied Econometrics & International Development, The Singapore Economic Review, South

Asian Studies, International Journal of Economics & Empirical Research, Journal of Islamic Accounting & Business

Research, International Food Research Journal, Economic Analysis & Policy, Pakistan Development Review, Pakistan

Journal of Applied Economics, Foreman Journal of Economic Studies, Pakistan Business Review, FWU journal of Social

Sciences, Pakistan Economic Review and Lahore Journal of Economics.

d) Ph.D. Economics

Ph.D Economics program of School of Economics was introduced in 1987. Initially there was low intake in our Ph.D.

program, the first Ph.D. degree was awarded in 1994. Thereafter the regular intake in this program was suspended

due to shortage of faculty. In late 1990’s the program was once again strengthened and fresh intake was taken, since

then the program is running successfully. So, School of Economics had awarded 34 Ph.D. degrees in diverse fields of

Economics including Monetary Economics, Macroeconomics, International Economics, Development Economics,

Poverty & Income Distribution, Transport Economics, Agricultural Economics, Economics of Crime, Financial

Economics, Environment Economics and Labor Economics. All Ph.D. graduates of SOE are serving the community in the

best professional way. Most of them are engaged in teaching / research in different universities, few are serving in

State Bank of Pakistan, United Nations, Ministries and other organizations.

At present, 67 students are enrolled in Ph.D. program of SOE, 30 are working on their research dissertations and

remaining are engaged in course work. A graph of Ph.D. graduates over time is given below:

4.2. Certificate Programs and Workshops

Workshops on academic writing, software training, report writing and synopsis writing are also the regular features of

SOE. In future we intend to start teacher training workshop and diploma for professionals and students of other

universities.

a). Software Training Workshop

The application of software is inevitable in econometric analysis; sound understanding of the software is essential for

econometric analysis. Having realized the importance of software in Economics, School of Economics, in 2012,

initiated software training workshops. A panel of experts renders training on most widely used software including

STATA, SPSS, EVIEWS and RATS. This workshop is offered in summer break. The prime objective of these workshops is

to foster better understanding of software and enable researchers to conduct their research in an efficient way.

b). Thesis Writing Workshop

SOE offers thesis writing workshops on regular bases to enhance the quality of research. The main objective of thesis

writing workshops is to provide research students an opportunity to share and learn how to produce a quality

research work independently and transform the same into a publication in peer reviewed journals of national and

international repute.

c). Academic Writing Workshop

SOE also offers workshops on academic writing skills. One of major challenges in writing and publishing research is the

non-availability of formal trainings for the development of scientific writing skills. This workshop aims to provide

young faculty members an opportunity to learn about the academic writing skills. In addition, the workshop will

provide valuable guidelines and tips for transforming research work into a publication in peer review HEC recognized

journals.

5. CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND RESEARCH PLATFORM

School of Economic believes in multidimensional approach, along with the pure academic programs we also focus on

co-curricular activities, which are the integral part of our curricular activities. Therefore, SOE has special emphasis on

seminars, conferences and other research promoting activities.

a). Distinguished Lectures and Seminars

Seminars and distinguished lectures are important for students. They give useful insight information of government

policies and current economic challenges. In this regard SOE occasionally invites the renowned economists and

academicians for inspirational talks and informative seminars. A summary of seminars and lectures organized in 2016

and 2017 is given below:

A delegation from London School of Economics and Political Sciences headed by Prof. Craig Calhoun

(President LSE) visited School of Economics Quaid-i-Azam University. Craig Calhoun delivered a talk on LSE,

South Asia Centre and its future engagement with Pakistan. (February 22, 2016)

School of Economics in collaboration with US Embassy Islamabad organized a one day seminar on Intellectual

Property Rights (IPRs). The main focus was on the role of IPRs in Economic Growth. In this regard experts on

IPRs including Mr. Rob Garverick (Economic Counselor, US Embassy, Islamabad), Mr. Ameen Imam (IP

Attorney, Enforcement, United States Patent and Trademark Office), Ms. ShilpiJha (Senior Intellectual

Property Counsel, United States Patent and Trademark Office) and other experts presented their views on the

overview and role of IPRs in Economic Growth (February 23, 2016)

Dr. Naeem-uz-Zafar, Member Social Sector, Ministry of Planning, Development & Reforms delivered an

honorary lecture at School of Economics, QAU. He talked on the knowledge gaps in policy development for

social and real sectors. Students of M.Phil (1st and 2nd semesters) attended the lecture. It was an informative

talk. Dr. Naeem highlighted many research areas for the students and faculty. (May 3, 2016)

O V E R V I E W


School of Economics (SOE), Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) organized a Pre-Budget Seminar. Dr. Muhammad

Idrees, Director SOE in his welcome note mentioned that this is the first ever pre-budget seminar organized

by SOE. He said that now SOE has intention to hold it every year. Five Speakers presented their views. The

first Speaker was Mr. Haider Abbas (Additional Secretary, Pakistan Institute of Parliamentary Services), he

explained the budget making process. Second speaker was Dr. Wasim Shahid Malik (Assistant Professor, SOE,

QAU), he presented a talk on Macroeconomic indicators in budgetary perspective. The next speaker was Mrs.

Robina Ather (Additional Secretary, Ministry of Commerce), she talked on issues related to commerce and

b). Conferences

Academic conferences are of great importance. They provide a platform to researchers and academicians to share

their work and are the source of disseminating information. Conferences lead to sharing of experiences of different

people from different spheres which trigger new ideas and thoughts for future research. Last year, School of

Economics organized an international conference and now we have a plan to organize conferences on an annual basis.

School of Economics, Quaid-i- Azam University and Department of Economics, University of Peshawar jointly

organized a three days international conference on Marginalization and Social Exclusion in the Perspective of

Market Economy. The participants of 4 foreign universities and 29 national institutes participated in the

conference. Overall seven key note speeches were delivered and 31 papers were presented. In the context of

market exclusion most of the papers focused on poverty, inequality and women empowerment.

The key outcomes of the conference are that the concentration of wealth is one of the undesirable and

unavoidable outcomes of market economy and it fails to cater the needs of excluded and marginalized people

in the society. Rather, market multiply exclusion over the time such as the number of slums. Hence, we need

to strengthen exchange of wealth that take place out of the market at micro level. For this we need to

decrease transaction and information cost of those who are willing to donate to deserving amongst us. In this

regard, institutionalization of charitable donation in the form of AWAQAF should be promoted. Likewise, the

sentiments of feeding the poor and helping the destitute should be appreciated. In addition, the family

system and ties within the family system should be strengthened. The values that make markets competitive

such as revealing the true information and avoiding cheating should be promoted. The other concerning

preferences and promotion of norms and ethics should also be encouraged. All those norms that make

market competitive have roots in the final version of all religions, that is Islam, should be promoted.

The conference was organized in collaboration with Higher Education Commission and Women University

Mardan. It is worth mentioning that this was first International conference of SOE in its fifty years history.

c). Research Journal

Research journals provide a venue for the publication and thus dissemination of research findings. Realizing the

importance and need of research journal, the School of Economics has recently launched a research journal titled

Pakistan Economic Review (PER). It is an outcome of the strong research base of School of Economics, Quaid-i-Azam

University. It is initiated to disseminate the scholarly research and bridge the gap between academic research and the

research needs of Industry. It also aims to serve as knowledge sharing platform for academicians and researchers.

Another objective of PER is to provide guidelines to the policy makers. Pakistan Economic Review welcomes papers

that are empirically oriented with solid methodological foundations based on realism and pragmatism rather than on

idealism. Critical analysis of economic issues from both the heterodox viewpoint and the neo-liberalist viewpoint, in

orthodox tradition, are equally encouraged. The first issue of PER is published in March 2018.

believes in enhancing the networking with the industry to bridge this gap. To accomplish this task, we shall enhance

the networking with the public, private and international organizations to promote the employment of our graduates,
