The paper investigated the causality among carbon emission, oil production and economic growth in Nigeria's time series data for the period 1970 to 2013. It estimated an autoregressive distributed lag model and used granger causality mechanism to establish both the effects and causal nexus among...

The study examines the growth effects of foreign direct investment on environmental quality in Nigeria between 1970 and 2013. Variables like per capita income, environmental degradation, foreign direct investment, human capital, inflation, trade openness, interest rate, and the interaction term...

This paper analysed the effects of monetary policy shocks using changes in various monetary policy instruments on exchange rate volatility in Nigeria. This paper investigates the relationship between exchange rate volatility and monetary policy shocks in Nigeria. The paper applies the classical...

Several recent papers argue that contracts provide reference points that affect ex post behavior. We test this hypothesis in a canonical buyer-seller relationship with renegotiation. Our paper provides causal experimental evidence that an initial contract has a highly significant and...

We present an international trade model with multiproduct firms. Firms are heterogeneously endowed with two types of capabilities that jointly determine the trade-off within firms between managing a large portfolio of products and producing at low marginal cost. The model can explain many of the...

This paper reports data from a laboratory experiment on two-period moral hazard problems. The findings corroborate the contract-theoretic insight that even though the periods are technologically unrelated, due to incentive considerations principals can benefit from offering long-term contracts...
