Abstract
Abstract. Poverty reduction is one of the greatest global challenge. So, the very first goal among the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to eradicate poverty. Governance in political and economic institutions is
directly and strongly correlated with all strategies and measures to reduce poverty. However, this idea is not empirically tested
especially in case of sub-continent. Hence, first of all, this paper presents statistical analysis of this phenomenon in case of subcontinent and then econometric analysis of link between governance and poverty reduction in case of Pakistan. Time series data from
year 1984 to 2015 is used for econometric analysis. After checking stationary of variables, co-integration among variables, stabilities
of econometric model, ARDL technique is used for estimation. What follows is the conclusion that that governance is directly
affecting the schemes to reduce poverty. Moreover, the pragmatic recommendations for reduction in poverty are given in this paper.
