This paper examines the effect of crude oil price movement on the Nigerian stock market and the role of exchange rate as a plausible countercyclical policy tool. Daily data on All Share Index of the Nigerian stock market, crude oil prices and exchange rate, were collected for two periods:...

This paper examines the impact of public sector borrowings on prices, interest rates, and output in Nigeria. It utilized a Vector Autoregressive framework, the Granger causality test, impulse response, and variance decomposition of the various innovations to study the impact. It found that shock...

The global oil dynamics has significant implications for both oil exporting and importing small open economies. However, much of the literature on oil shocks is oriented towards advanced oil-importing economies. Micro-founded studies that explore the effects of oil shocks from the standpoint of...

The study examines the determinants of fiscal balance and the impact of the selected macroeconomic variables on the primary balance of government. It aims to estimate the fiscal reaction function for Nigeria and determine whether the implementation of fiscal policy is sustainable in the...

This study adopts the "buffer stock model" advanced by Frenkel and Jovanovic (1981) to estimate the optimal level of foreign reserves for Nigeria. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag Approach (ARDL) was used to estimate the optimal foreign reserves function. The results show that the Nigeria's...

This study tests the Portfolio Balance Theory (PBT) for Nigeria for the period starting from September, 1997 to September, 2018. It extends the hypothesized linear inverse relationship between exchange rate and stock price to include asymmetries and structural breaks. It further examines the...

This paper examines spillover effects of U.S monetary policy on macroeconomic fundamentals in Nigeria from January 1985 to December 2018. The study period is partitioned to account for conventional monetary policy (CMP) period, January 1985 to August 2007 and unconventional monetary policy (UMP)...

This study investigates the relationship between exchange rate volatility and cur-rency substitution in Nigeria, using Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model.After accounting for the presence of structural breaks, evidence from the findingsshows that domestic interest rate and expected...

The study examines the impact of interest rate differential and exchange rate move-ment on the dynamics of Nigeria's international private capital flows from 2010Q1to 2019Q4. It uses the interest rate parity theory and the Markov Switching TimeVarying Transition Probability Modelling approach....

This study is designed to model and forecast Nigeria's stock market using the AllShare Index (ASI) as a proxy. By employing the Markov regime-switching autore-gressive (MS-AR) model with data from April 2005 to September 2019, the studyanalyzes the stock market volatility in three distinct...
