Spatial Spillover Effects of Regional Development Policies on Pakistan's Economic Growth: A Cross-Panel Analysis of Asian Economies

This study investigates the spatial spillover effects of regional development policies on Pakistan's economic growth through a cross-panel data analysis of Asian economies. Using annual data from 2000-2023, the study examine how India's industrial pollution, China's Belt and Road infrastructure investment, Saudi Arabia's remittances, Malaysia's high-tech exports, and Indonesia's environmental degradation influence Pakistan's GDP per capita growth. Results reveal significant positive spill over from India's CO2 emissions (14% GDP impact) and China's FDI (17% GDP impact), confirming the importance of regional economic integration. However, remittances demonstrate negative effects due to Dutch Disease phenomena, while technology transfers and environmental factors show insignificant impacts. The model underscores the critical role of spatial interdependencies in shaping Pakistan's economic trajectory.

Abstract

This study investigates the spatial spillover effects of regional development policies on Pakistan's economic growth through a cross-panel data analysis of Asian economies. Using annual data from 2000-2023, the study examine how India's industrial pollution, China's Belt and Road infrastructure investment, Saudi Arabia's remittances, Malaysia's high-tech exports, and Indonesia's environmental degradation influence Pakistan's GDP per capita growth. Results reveal significant positive spill over from India's CO2 emissions (14% GDP impact) and China's FDI (17% GDP impact), confirming the importance of regional economic integration. However, remittances demonstrate negative effects due to Dutch Disease phenomena, while technology transfers and environmental factors show insignificant impacts. The model underscores the critical role of spatial interdependencies in shaping Pakistan's economic trajectory.
