Experimental Findings

A computer-controlled facility is tested which operationalizes magnitude scaling (psychophysics) directly over a CRT screen. The author reports experimental findings comparing magnitude scaling with rating scales as attitude measures of advertisements and erotic pictures. Also, validity and reliability are examined by means of the structural equation approach. On the basis of the level of reliability and the degree of convergent/discriminant validity, magnitude scaling appears to be a valid and reliable alternative to rating scales.

PurposeThis paper contributes to the literature concerning the Nigerian informal economy (IE) by estimating its size from 1991 to 2017 and identifying the major causes.Design/methodology/approachA structural equation approach in the form of the multiple indicators multiple causes (MIMIC) method is used to estimate the size of the Nigerian IE.FindingsThe results indicate that vulnerable employment and urban population as a percentage of the total population are the main drivers of the IE in Nigeria. The IE in Nigeria ranges from 38.83% to 57.55% of gross domestic product (GDP).Research limitations/implicationsAs a result of the empirical challenges in the estimation of the IE, the estimates of Nigeria's IE are considered to be rough estimates.Originality/valueThe authors calibrated the MIMIC model with the official estimate of the informal sector published by the Nigerian National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). This was an attempt to combine the national accounting approach, to estimate the size of IE, with the MIMIC approach, and to estimate the trend of informality.
