The Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) is a research organization in Islamabad devoted to development economics, conducting both theoretical and empirical work with a focus on Pakistan-specific issues. It was founded in 1957 in Karachi and gained autonomous status in 1964 under the Government of Pakistan. The institute's research spans related social sciences such as demography and anthropology, reflecting an interdisciplinary approach to economic policy and development. By producing policy-relevant analysis, PIDE aims to provide an academic basis for policymaking and to communicate the direction of economic research in Pakistan to the global community.

The organization has earned an international reputation for its work and relies on an advisory committee that has included world-renowned economists, including Nobel Laureate Robert A. Mundell. In 2026, PIDE announced collaborations with national and international partners, including the Planning Commission of Pakistan, under the RASTA Competitive Research Grants Program.
