巴基斯坦的城市化、当地粮食作物生产和旅游产出

Urbanisation,local food crop production and tourism output of Pakistan

城市人口高增长率是大型中心城市发展的主要制约因素之一。本文的主要目的是考察巴基斯坦城市化、当地粮食作物生产和旅游产出三者之间的关系。研究结果显示,如果显著性水平为1%,保持其他变量不变,那么当地粮食作物生产每增加1%,旅游产出就会提升1.77%。从地方粮食作物生产到城市化之间,存在着某种单向因果关系。本项研究的发现可以为政策制定者和执行者提供启示。

High rate of urban population growth is one of the major problems constraining the growth of urban centres.The main aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between urbanisation,local food crop production and tourism output of Pakistan.The findings show that 1%increase in local food crop production will increase tourism output by 1.77%,at the one percent level of significance,holding all other variables constant.There is a unidirectional causality running from local food crop production to urbanisation.This study has implications for the policy makers and the practitioners.
