This is why its development is paramount to any nation. This study assessed the SMEs and employment generation in Nigeria. the study employed time-series data from 1981 to 2021 using Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model as the method of analysis. The finding revealed that there is a positive and significant relationship between Small and Medium-scale Output (SMEO), Gross Domestic Products growth rate (GDPg) and employment generation but an insignificant nexus with poverty reduction (POVR) while also revealed a negative nexus between income generation and employment generation in Nigeria. The study concluded that there is a significant relationship between SMEs and employment generation in Nigeria. It, therefore, concluded that government should create an avenue that all informal SMEs be registered so as to be able to explore them during tax collection. JE...

The Impact of Hiv/Aids Burden on Growth of Selected Sub-Saharan Africa (Ssa) Countries: Evidence from a Dynamic System GMM Estimates

The Impact of HIV/AIDS on Relative Income Differential and Economic Growth in Nigeria: 1986-2010

Income differential, the relative difference in income per capita of the quintile group, life expectancy, out-of-pocket health expenditure, direct health expenditure, gross per capita formation were estimated, using data for the period 1986-2010. The study employed a panel data analysis procedure in order to capture the relative incidence (burden) of the epidemic between these income groups in Nigeria. Accordingly, stationarity test was conducted on the variables used in the estimation. It was found that all the variables with an exception of health expenditure were stationary at first difference. Similarly, the long-run variability test of the incidence (burden) of HIV/AIDS on differential income earners and economic growth in Nigerian was also carried out and the residuals were found parsimonious over the period Lo a...

The Consequences of Foreign Direct Investments in Redefining Bilateral Trade Flow in Nigeria: A Gravity Panel Approach

Asian Economic and Financial Review, 2020

Opinions are divided as to the impact of foreign investment on trade and this researcher believed it could be either positive or negative. Hence, this research is to ascertain the magnitude of foreign investment's impact on Nigeria's bilateral trade. Integrating foreign direct investment in the gravity model, we applied the PPML technique because of its robustness and ability to recognise zero trade. We segregated foreign investment into three-flow, stock and its annual growth. Our estimation revealed that foreign direct investment stock impacts negatively on bilateral trade flow in Nigeria for both exports and imports and it is robust with the overall sample. Exporters' foreign direct investment inflow was also revealed to have an impact on bilateral trade in Nigeria. But in all ramifications the magnitude of the negative impact is relatively small but statistically significant reflecting that trade and inward foreign investment are at least substitutes. Nigeria should further encourage inward foreign investment to further stimulate economic growth and aid in creating import substitution. Contribution/ Originality: This study uses new estimation methodology and the model to determine the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on Nigeria's trade development. The impact of FDI was measured from three perspectives; stock, flow and growth. The paper revealed there is a robust and statistically significant negative effect of FDI on trade, though very negligible.

Impact of HIV/AIDS Burden on Economic Growth in Selected Sub- Saharan Africa (SSA) Countries: Evidence from a Dynamic System GMM Estimates

HIV/AIDS is seen as not only the leading cause of death in SSA region but a major public health c... more HIV/AIDS is seen as not only the leading cause of death in SSA region but a major public health challenge. Currently, 13% of total population workforce in the region lives with the epidemic; the above means that one in every ten adults in the region is HIV/AIDS positive. Regrettably so, there is a link between the epidemic prevalence and poverty. As a result, the study empirically examined the impact of HIV/AIDS burden on economic growth in selected Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries: Evidence from a dynamic system GMM estimates utilizing cross-country series of 18 countries in the region for the period of 1986-2015. The choice of the selected 18 SSA countries was driven by factors such as degree of prevalence of the epidemic, level of economic growth and regional affiliations resulting in four major regional blocs: SADC, ECOWAS, CEMAC and COMESA. Expectedly, the study employed a two-step dynamic Blundell-Bond system GMM panel estimation technique alongside with the Diebold and Yilmaz (2012) index variance decomposition approach. This was done to achieve conditional convergence in the growth equation and also to disaggregate the prevalence shock due to the epidemic burden. Series such as output per capita, output per capita growth, HIV/AIDS prevalence, public health expenditure, total investment, number of school enrollment are amongst others used in the study. Several pre-and post-diagnostics were accordingly carried out amongst which are Windmeijer (2005) finite sample correction for standard errors, stationarity test while controlling for heterogeinety, endogeneity or omitted variable biases, Hansen J-statistic for identification, Diff-in-Hansen test for validity of the additional moment restrictions, Breusch-Pagan Lagrange multiplier (LM) and Hausman tests for acceptability of the RE model etc. The findings from the study revealed that HIV/AIDS prevalence, not only have impacted negatively on human capital development and output growth in the region but has also currently been transmitting burden amongst member states thereby rendering the entire region vulnerable; particularly the low income countries. It further found that prevalence rate and income level of a country determines the level of her vulnerability to the epidemic burden in the region. The study therefore recommends that since members of SADC sub-region with very high prevalence rates are seen as powerful vector of contagion; therefore, a good understanding of cross-border epidemic burden spillovers on growth within the region is essential for policy coordination in the areas of preventive measures (reducing morbidity and mortality), improved capital inflow for inclusive growth ceteris paribus. Finally, it was recommended that the region should drive growth process as a unit.

Government expenditure and economic growth in the developed countries: 1952?76

The average annual growth rate of per capita GDP for the 16 most important developed market economies was 6.3% from 1955-73 and 2.0% from 1973-79. The average share of government in GDP went from 27% in 1955 to 34% in 1970 to 43% in 1979.2 The simple correlation proves nothing, but it suggests the growth of government might be one of the causes of the slowdown. Many economists have theorized that government production is staticly less efficient than private sector production with competitive markets. (see
