Abstract

In the Spring 1976 issue, The Pakistan Development Review published an article by A. R. Kemal [2] on "Consistent Time Series Data Relating to Pakistan's Large-Scale Manufacturing Industries" (hereafter referred to as Kemal I). That article was followed by a second article [3] in the Winter 1976 issue of the same journal, entitled "Sectoral Growth Rates and Efficiency of Factor Use in Large-Scale Manufacturing Sector in West Pakistan" (here¬after referred to as Kemal II). These two articles had very significant impact because they purport to present more realistic figures describing the development of Pakistan's large-scale manufacturing sector during the period 1959-1960 to 1969-1970. This was a period in which that sector grew rapidly and was subject to strong structural changes. Fresh data for the large-scale manufacturing sector during that critical period could therefore lead to a reinterpretation of Pakistan's economic history during the 1960's. The purpose of the two Kemal articles appears to have been to provide such a new statistical picture for large-scale manufacturing, and the study on which they were based was financed by the Planning Commis¬sion, Government of Pakistan.
