Purpose: Remittance is essential to economic wellbeing, Realising this fact, this study examined, within the optimist theoretical framework, whether international remittances significantly impact per capita economic growth in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach: Employing annual time series...

This paper empirically examines the pass-through of the Central Bank of Nigeria policy rate to commercial banks' retail rates. The study covers the pre-liberalization (1962M01-1987M07) and post-liberalization (1987M08-2020M09) periods, and em- plys asymmetric cointegration and error-correction...

The net contribution of the decomposed measures of foreign direct investment (FDIs), e.g., the inward and outward flows of FDIs, to domestic investment is still inconclusive in the case of underdeveloped and developing countries. The current literature bears testimony to this fact. Hence, this...

This study examines the relationship between Turkey's airline markets, which responded to local economic shocks, and the USA and Europe airlines market using daily closing stock price data from January 2016 to June 2022. All the variables are non-stationary at level but stationary at first...

This paper proposes new cointegration tests based on instrumental variable (IV) estimation. An important property of our tests is that the asymptotic distribution remains standard normal (or Chi-square) regardless of the number of regressors, differing deterministic terms, structural dummies,...

We propose two robust bootstrap-based simultaneous inference methods for time series models featuring time-varying coefficients and conduct an extensive simulation study to assess their performance. Our exploration covers a wide range of scenarios, encompassing serially correlated,...

How remittances contribute to the economies of remittance-receiving developing countries is a global issue. Considering Nepal as a highly remittance-receiving country, this paper primarily examines the impact of remittances on economic growth using annual time series data from 1980 to 2021. The...

We identify variables that help explain the persistent weakness of the Norwegian krone since 2016 within a fully simultaneous model of the underlying process driving the krone-euro exchange rate. In addition to a set of fundamental variables we consider non-traditional explanatory variables...

This paper analyses factors for the declining trend in clove exports in Zanzibar using time series data that were collected between 1980 and 2020 and analysed using the vector error correction model, complemented with qualitative analysis. Clove production, producer price, world price, gross...
