The study was carried out to investigate the effect of Nigerian taxation system on Nigerian economy. The study anchored on benefit received theory of taxation as it theoretical framework. The study covered a period of 18 years (1999-2017). Time series data extracted from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and Federal Inland Revenue Service for the various years was used for the study. Ordinary Least Square method of regression was adopted for data analysis. The independent variables are Value Added Tax (VAT), Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT), and Company Income Tax (CIT) while Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the dependent variable. The regression result revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between the independent variables (PPT, CIT) and Gross Domestic Product. However the relationship between Value Added Tax and Gross Domestic Product is negative. It is recommended that government should provide enabling environment for companies to generate more revenues. Government should also reduce the VAT rate to encourage consumption of certain goods.

There has been conflicting preposition as to the extent of tax contribution to the development of Nigerian economy. This study is to determine the impact of taxation proceeds on the development of Nigerian economy. The study explored the impact of three tax income streams &ndash; Income tax from companies&rsquo; profits, income tax from petroleum companies profits&nbsp; and Value Added Tax on economic development represented by Gross Domestic Product (at current basic prices) growth for the period 1994 to 2018. The study applied Ordinary Least Square statistical tool with the help of SPSS 20.0. The study revealed a positive relationship with a coefficient of determination of 99.2% of the variation in economic development attributable to the tax income streams studied. Also although the study revealed the existence of significant effect of taxes from companies&rsquo; profits and Value Added Tax on Gross Domestic Product Growth, there is little or no significant impact of taxes on profits of Petroleum companies on Gross Domestic Product growth in Nigeria due to restriction by Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries production ceiling on Nigeria&rsquo;s production/sales and the global price shocks of crude oil over the decade. Also the study revealed tax payers apathy to tax payment and presence of tax leakages due to corruption and administrative inefficiencies by the tax authorities.

Forecasting is the process of estimating conditions in the future by testing conditions from the past. One of the forecasting methods is Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) which aim of SSA is to make a decomposition of the original series into the sum of a small number of independent and interpretable components such as a slowly varying trend, oscillatory components and a structureless noise. Gross Domestic Product data in the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sector are time series data with trend and seasonal pattern so that it can be processed using the SSA method. The forecasting process of SSA method uses the main parameter (L) of 21 obtained by the Blind Source Separation (BSS) method. From forecasting, acquired group of 3 groups. Forecasting resulted the value of Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) is 1.59% and the value of tracking signal is 2.50, which indicates that the results of forecasting is accurate. Keywords: Forecasting, Gross Domestic Product in the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sector, Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA)

This paper examined the causal links between inward foreign direct investments (FDI) and its determinants (i.e., gross domestic product, education, trade openness, infrastructure, and technological abilities) for Jordan over (the period 1980 – 2018). The paper used vector error correction model. The results of the study considered that gross domestic product, trade openness, education, infrastructure, and technological abilities are primary engine of inward FDI in (long term and short term). Thus, the results have vital role for the policy makers in Jordan to formulate domestic and foreign policies. This study relied on three essential parts. Firstly, FDI is a significant source of capital that promotes economic growth. Secondly, the question of what are the leading drivers of FDI remains inadequate in the literature.

The study estimates Taylor’s rule for Nepal by using the annual time series data for the period of 1988-2018. As a requirement of Taylor's rule, the output gap has been estimated by using Hodric-Perscott filter. Consumer price index has been used as measure of inflation and 91-days treasury bills rate is taken as the proxy for the short-term interest rate set by central bank of Nepal. The ordinary least square method has been used to estimate the Taylor's equation The results show that. As Augmented Dickey-Fuller test shows that all  the variables used in this study are in level form. The results show that there is a positive relationship of T-bills rule with inflation output gap. Interest rate smoothing is found to be a major concern of central bank of Nepal but follows the Taylor’s rule partially.
