Abstract:The impactofeconomicgrowth; internationaltrade,unemploymentandmoneysupply

on inflationhasbeen subject toa longdebateboth indeveloping thedevelopedcountries. The

advocatesofeconomicgrowth;internationaltradeandeasymonetarypolicyareoftheviewthat

inflation increases because of increase in the economic growth, international trade and money

supply. However, the existing literature sheds light on the inverse relationship between

unemploymentand inflation. Therefore;thisarticle investigatesthe impactofeconomicgrowth;

only growth led inflation hypothesis works in long run, whereas, trade and unemployment led

inflation hypothesis works for Pakistan both in long run and short run time spans. Economic

Abstract: Theunsteady laminar boundarylayer flow and heat transfer of a viscous fluid over a

stretching cylinder is discussed in this work. To normalize the governing system of equations a

proper setof similarity variables isused.Two typesof thermalboundary conditions,prescribed

surface temperature (PST) and prescribed heat flux (PHF), are taken into account for thermal

analysis. The governing equations are solved using the homotopy analysis method, and theobtainedseriessolution is found tobevalid for theentire temporalandspatialdomainsand for

certain ranges of the other physical parameters. The effects of various material parameters on

differentphysicalquantities, suchas the coefficientof skin frictionand theNusseltnumber,are

illustratedthroughgraphsandtables.
