This paper extends previous studies in modeling and estimating demand for gasoline for Nigeria from 1977 to 2008. The ingenious attempt of this study, contrast to earlier studies on Nigeria and other developing countries, lies in its assumption of structural breaks in the long run relationship...

The present paper examines the causal linkage between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth - in Cote' d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone - with financial development accounted for over the period 1970-2005 within a trivariate framework which applies Granger...

This paper extends previous studies in modeling and estimating energy demand functions for both gasoline and kerosene petroleum products for Nigeria from 1977 to 2008. In contrast to earlier studies on Nigeria and other developing countries, this study specifically tests for the possibility of...

This paper examines the long-run and short-run impacts of exchange rate and price changes on trade flows in Nigeria using exports and imports functions. The bounds testing (ARDL) approach to cointegration is applied on a quarterly data from 1980Q1 to 2007Q4. The results indicate that in both the...

The study analysed the effect of institution on resource curse abundance-economic growth nexus using the system generalised method of moments. The empirical results refute the resource curse hypothesis in Africa. In addition, institutions have dampening effect on the nexus. This stems from the...

This paper probed the long-run and short-run dynamics between stock prices and exchange rates in Nigeria using the Johansen and Gregory-Hansen cointegration analyses, causality test and Exponential General Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity modelling on daily data from January 2,...

This paper re-examined the relationship between financial development and economic growth in Nigeria. Unlike existing studies, we attempted to assess the information content of non-linearities in the finance–growth nexus for Nigeria. We also attempted to inventively gauge the impact of...

The world greeted the New Year 2020 with varying degrees of optimism. Overall, forecasts for 2020 were made with cautious optimism given the global slowdown in 2019. While at this, the Chinese city of Wuhan was being ravaged by a deadly severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2),...

This paper examines the extent of pass-through of exchange rate into import prices for Nigeria between 1980 and 2006 using the recently developed UECM-Bounds test proposed by Pesaran et al. (2001). Empirical evidence reveals that world export prices has a dominant effect compared to exchange...
