The publication .of the first ever Directory of Pakistani Economists .and Demographers by the Society should go a long way in promoting contacts between members of the economic profession in Pakistan. The entries. in the Directory, which have been arranged alpha• betically, contain information on the name, date of birth, designation, business address, educational attainment, field of specialization and selected publications. The information provided in the Directory can be helpful in taking a careful look at the state of the economic profession in Pakistan. It .should also be useful to prospective employers of Develop• ment Economists in Pakistan. The biographical information was collected by a mail survey. The - Chief of the Library and Documentation Centre of the PIDE mailed a specially designed questionnaire to individual development economists and to orqaniz aticns who were thought _ to be the employers of economists and demog• raphers. In all 1980 questionnaires were . sent. The· information in the Directory is based on 924 completed questionnaires. In the case of some of the members of the· Board of Gover• nors of the Institute and of the Council of Senior Fellows, the information reported in this Directory has been compiled from copies of their bio-datas. An attempt is made to cover the maximum possible proportion .of Pakistani Development Economists. The Society intends to periodically . update the Directory. In case any errors or omissions are noted by the users of - the Directory, it would be appreciated if these are brought to the notice of the librarian, library and Docu• mentation Centre,_ PIO!:=, for incorporation in . future editions of the Directory. · The work on the Directory was initiated by Mr Akhtar H. Siddiqui, Chief, Library and Documentation Centre, PIDE. After he left the Institute, the work on the. Directory was continued by Mr Zafar Javed Naqvi, Librarian, Library and Documentation Centre, PIDE. I would like· to commend both M/s Akhtar H. Siddiqui and Zafar J. Naqvi for their dedicated work in the completion of the Directory. Joint Director Sarfraz Khan Qureshi Pakistan Institute of Development Economics Islamabad PREFACE This Directory contains the name, date of birth, designation, address, Post-graduate qualification, field of specialization/interest and selected publications of Pakistani Economists and Demograph• ers, working in Pakistan and abroad.

The Scholars fisted in the Directory are encouraged to contact, Chi ef , Library and Documentation, for any change to be included in the next issue of the Directory.
