The Impact

Money market instruments play a crucial role in the growth and development of the Nigerian economy. Still, it is not yet vibrant and constrained by the absence of sub-markets and availability of adequate credit instruments required for the smooth operations of the market. The study examine the impact of money market instruments (Treasury bill, Treasury certificates, Certificate of Deposits, Banker’s Acceptances, Development Stock and Commercial Papers) on Economic growth based on secondary data sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin and National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) publications for 30 years. The study employed statistical techniques such as ADF, Unit Root Test, OLS, multiple-regression and Granger Causality Test to analysis data collected for the study covering the period 1990-2020. The study observed that Bank acceptance and Commercial paper granger cause Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Treasury bill, Treasury certificate and commercial papers have a positive relationship with GDP, but its effect is insignificant in the long run. But banker’s acceptance and certificate of deposits has a positive and significant effect on GDP in the long run. In contrast, development stock has no significant effect on GDP in the short and the long run with no granger causal relationship with GDP. The study therefore recommends that Nigerian money market should be reformed in line with the current globalization trend and internationalization of the money market to allow a flow of foreign investment into the economy and also increase the number of tradable instruments in the market.

This study investigated the impact of foreign aids on economic growth in Nigeria using time series data spanned from 1990 to 2017. The research considered the secondary data that were gathered from CBN statistical bulletin 2017 and World Bank Data Indictors. Ordinary Least Square techniques was adopted in the study and used Augmented Dickey-Fuller Unit Root Test, co integration test, granger causality test, ECM to estimates data employed. The findings revealed that all the variables employed were stationary at first difference and integrated at the same order1(I), the co-integration test shows that variables are co-integrated at one co-integrating equation which means that there is a long run relationship. The Error Correction Model established that the error that caused disequilibrium in the short run is being corrected in the long-run at a speed of adjustment at 6%. The findings revealed real gross domestic product responds inversely to changes in official development assistance and foreign direct investment. Based on these findings the study concluded that foreign aids have a significant impact on economic growth in Nigeria. Different diagnostic tests are applied in order to confirm the major assumption of multiple regression analysis like multicollinearity, heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation. Therefore, the study recommends among others that government needs to formulate strong and effective education and healthcare policies to facilitate and attract investment in the sectors and improve their efficiency in the long-run that will influence productivity.

The Impact

This study examined the impact of fuel pump price adjustment and the causal relationship between fuel pump price adjustments and economic growth in Nigeria using secondary data extracted from the Central Bank of Nigeria annual report and National Bureau of Statistics publications spanning from 1980 - 2019. Descriptive statistics, unit root test, Johansen cointegration test, VECM and Granger causality test were employed to analyse the data. The result showed that a 1% increase in the prices of PMS and AGO increased economic growth by 0.014%, 0.038% and 0.018% respectively while AGO is reduced by 0.002%. Also the prices of PMS, AGO and DPK does not granger cause economic growth in Nigeria within the period under this study meaning that any macroeconomic policy that affects economic growth should be pursued independent of fuel pump prices as any policy aimed at influencing economic growth through pump price adjustments seems to be ineffective.

Monetary and Fiscal policies are instruments which the government of any nation can employ to effectively achieve the desired growth of their respective economies. This study investigates the extent to which monetary policies can promote economic growth in Nigeria from 1980-2017. Secondary data were used from the Statistical Bulletin of the apex bank in Nigeria (CBN) and National Bureau of Statistics. Unit root test, Johansen co-integration and the vector error correction model (VECM) were employed in analyzing the data collected for this study. The result showed that approximately 62% of GDP is explained by variables in the model while 38% is accounted for and explained by other variables not included in the model but are captured by the error term. In addition, monetary policies did not have a significant impact on Nigeria’s economic growth in the short run, but significantly affected the country’s growth in the long run.

This study examined mortgage financing and housing development in Nigeria. The main focus of this research was to ascertain the impact of mortgage loan in housing development in Nigeria. To achieve this objective, data were extracted from CBN statistical bulletin and National Bureau of Statistics from 1990 to 2014. Three hypotheses were formulated and tested using econometric models such as Augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test, the co-integration tests revealed the existence of a long-run relationship among the variables. The Error Correction Model established causal links and dynamic interactions between variables by granger causality test. The result of the findings showed a significant relationship between mortgage financing and housing development in Nigeria. Variables such as mortgage loan and interest rate had positive and significant impact on housing development while cost of building had a negative effect on housing development in Nigeria. Further findings revealed that mortgage bank deposit had positive effect on mortgage investment while inflation had a negative effect on mortgage investment. The study recommended that mortgage institution in Nigeria should develop strategies to mobilize more deposits and explore new sources of fund such as funds from the capital market via housing bonds, savings and loans from co-operative societies. Government should create an enabling environment for private housing sector in housing development in Nigeria by providing infrastructure and enhancing soundness and competitiveness of mortgage institutions in Nigeria.

Excise Duties

This paper empirically investigated the impact of value added tax (VAT) on economic growth in Nigeria from 1994–2018. This was done against the background that VAT as an indirect tax was introduced by the Federal Government of Nigeria in 1993 to replace sales tax with the sole aim of increasing the revenue base of government and make funds available for developmental purposes. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of value added tax on economic growth in Nigeria and determine the impact of other tax revenues particularly, custom and excise duties on economic growth in Nigeria. Thus, secondary data on GDP, VAT revenues, custom and excise duties were sourced from CBN statistical bulletin. Also, ARDL technique was used to analyze data. The variables were subjected to ADF unit root test prior the ARDL and found to be stationary. The ARDL co-integration test showed that there is a long run association amongst the variables. The ARDL short run result showed that the value of VAT has a positive relationship with economic growth in Nigeria. Also, custom and excise duties revenue positively impacted on economic growth in Nigeria. Hence, it was concluded that Value Added Tax (VAT) as an indirect tax system in Nigeria has direct relationship with economic growth in Nigeria since its inception in 1994. It has contributed to the total revenue of the nation as a result of reduction in tax evasion. Based on the findings, the paper recommended that government should put in place adequate measure to ensure that revenue generated from VAT is effectively utilized to develop and grow the economy in order to better the lives of the citizenry.

The Impact

Though agriculture is the mainstay in India, it accounts only 14 percent sectoral share in GDP. This is mainly because of low productivity and income generation capacity of agriculture. In this regard, crop diversification can act as a mechanism to eliminate this dilemma. It not only will increase the agricultural productivity but also will accelerate the income generation capacity. In this study we have investigated the impact of crop diversification on economic growth in India since 1988. The study is completely based on secondary data. In order to investigate the impact of crop diversification on economic growth, we have estimated Granger causality test based on vector error correction model setting. The results reveal that in India, there is no causality running from crop diversification to economic growth in the short-run. However, in the long-run crop diversification causes economic growth in India and the nature of cause is positive. Finally, the study concludes that suitable policies should be adopted to encourage the farmer to adopt the crop diversification mechanism. This will ultimately accelerate economic growth of the nation through increased income and employment in agriculture and reduction in poverty of the nation.

This study aims to determine the one-way causality relationship between foreign investment and economic growth, a one-way causality relationship between economic growth and foreign investment, and a two-way causality relationship between foreign investment and economic growth in Indonesia. This was conducted in Indonesia, the data are secondary data taken using the method time series from 1971 to 2018 from the official websites, the Investment Coordinating Board, and literature sources, Foreign Investment and Gross Domestic Product. (1) in the long run the Economic Growth variable has a significant effect on Foreign Direct Investment, and vice versa; and (2) the Foreign Direct Investment variable has a significant effect on Economic Growth; (3) in the short term, the Economic Growth variable has an influence on Foreign Direct Investment, and vice versa; and the Foreign Direct Investment variable has an influence on Economic Growth. It is possible to have a better long-term relationship, bringing positive impact on economic growth in Indonesia when investment in Indonesia increases. Conversely, when economic growth decreases, it means that foreign investment is also low. Granger Causality test, shows a two-way causality relationship between Economic Growth and Foreign Direct Investment and vice versa. It is necessary to maintain growth to attract foreign direct investment, as well as foreign investment. Investment climate needs to be improved enabling to invest in Indonesia.

Negative Shock

This study tends to examine the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Indonesian economy with the focus on economic growth, poverty, income distribution, unemployment, tourism sector, and businesses. More specifically, this study tries to answer the following two questions. First, how serious has been the negative shock of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Indonesian economy, especially on economic growth, employment, wages, poverty, inequality, tourism activities and businesses? Second, what were the main economic transmission channels through which the Covid-19 pandemic have caused that negative shock? It adopted an exploratory methodology with a comprehensive review of available literature, including policy documents, research papers, and reports and secondary data analysis. Data used was from the National Bureau of Statistics (BPS). It reveals that the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the Indonesian economy through four main channels: (i) declined domestic demand as a direct consequence of the "anti-Covid-19 impact" policy; (ii) declined export; (iii) declined imports of processed raw materials and auxiliary materials; and (iv) increased poor people as many employees have been laid off, or their wages were cut. As a result, the country's economy experienced a growth contraction of 2.07 percent, the number of foreign tourists visited Indonesia dropped significantly, the unemployment rate as well as the percentage of poor people increased, the Gini ratio experienced an increase, and many companies have suffered huge losses, especially in the tourism sector and also those whose businesses were very dependent on this sector such as transportation and food and beverage companies, as well as hotels and other accommodation provider companies.

Practical Implications

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the long-run impact of telecommunications revenue and telecommunications investment on economic growth of Ghana for the time horizon 1976-2007. Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses the Augmented Dickey Fuller and Phillips Perron unit root test to explore the stationarity property of the variables and the Engle-Granger residual-based test of cointegration to model an appropriate restricted error correction model. Findings – The outcome of the analysis produced mixed results. Telecommunications revenue does not contribute significantly whilst telecommunications investment does. Practical implications – Policy makers will have to deal with a conundrum; while designing targeted policies that will attract more telecommunication investment in order to maximize the corresponding revenues and the economic growth it brings in its wake, they must at the same time find ways and resources to grow the economy to a point or threshold where revenue from telecommunications can have the much needed impact on their economies. Originality/value – The study is one of the first that has investigated the line of causality between telecommunication revenue and economic growth unlike previous research that mainly focused on the impact of telecommunication infrastructure on economic development.

The Impact

Geopolitical territories have often engaged in one form of trade or another with their neighbours. That is because no nation in the world can survive without one form of trade with other sovereign states. This study examines the nature of trade openness and economic growth in Nigeria from 1970–2011. The emphasis of this empirical study is to ascertain the impact of trade openness on Nigeria’s economic growth. Causal comparative or ex-post facto research design was adopted in the study. Econometric time series analyses like ADF unit root test, co-integration test and the ordinary least squared (OLS) were employed in the study. The result obtained was used to test the hypotheses, and it was revealed that (i) Trade Openness has positive significant impact on Nigeria’s economic growth; while (ii) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) responds to the shock of Trade Openness value as a proxy of total import and total export divided by GDP as well as change in Exchange Rate (DEXR) within Nigeria’s economy during the period of study. Thus, the co-integration results indicate that there exists long-run relationship among the variables used; hence; the researchers then recommended that there is urgent need for the government to create enabling environment for good trade policy that would attract both foreign and domestic private sector investment in the country.
