Abstract
Poverty is one of the biggest issues confronting Pakistan’s economy that is severely hampering the way of economic development and growth. This paper investigates the role of infrastructure provision in poverty alleviation in Pakistan. The present study employs a log-log model in OLS settings to estimate the relationship between infrastructure provision and poverty alleviation in Pakistan by using time series data ranging 1975-2013. In order to find the relative impact of infrastructure, the infrastructure is divided into two components i.e. physical infrastructure and social infrastructure. The results indicate that both social and physical infrastructures significantly reduce poverty.
