The former emphasized by the World Bank and later by the UNDP. This paper tests the argument by estimating a basic need policy model for Pakistan using cross district data. The results are consistent with the view that government provision of social services affects human capabilities significantly. However, the ultimate constraints on the sustainable capability development are material resources. copyrightnote: I certify that I have the right to deposit the contribution with MPRA" creators_name: Siddiqui, Rizwana date: 2007 date_issue: 2007 file_format: pdf file_url: http://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/4409/01/MPRA_paper_4409.pdf full_text_status: public identifierabstract: http://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/4409/ institutions: Pakistan Institute of DEvelopment Economics institution: Pakistan Institute of DEvelopment Economics ispublished: unpub keywords: Basic Needs; Public Services; Household Income; Poverty language: en pagerange: 1-22 pages: 22 referencetext: Alwang.
