Abstract: Many countries have "regional problems". Income and political power are allocated unequally among regions with no significant change over time, and these inequities are a source of political tension. The regional problem in Pakistan is especially severe because the peculiar geographic nature of Pakistan makes the issue so visible 1. Economic planners in Pakistan and other poor countries are often assigned the task of designing programmes to bring about income parity among regions. In doing so, planners confront several analytic and technical problems. The principal difficulty is how to allocate resources so as to best confonn to political preferences of policy-makers
