Abstract
This paper empirically analyzes the relationship between Pakistan's industrial and agricultural sectors. Pakistan was chosen
because of its status of a semi-industrialized country with heavy dependence on the agricultural sector. The relationship between
cotton production and industrial growth is also evaluated due to the prominence of this crop in Pakistani agriculture. The
results indicate that these sectors are complementary, yet industry tends to benefit more from agricultural growth than vice
versa. The timing of this information is critical, as Pakistan's policy makers now face major agricultural policy reforms in
their quest for continued industrial development. ©2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
