Abstract

Several countries have integrated monetary easement into their foreign policy to faucet the gains from trade thereby, assuring that market forces determine monetary policy instruments such as interest rate and exchange rate. It is on this note and this paper empirically evaluate the effect of monetary policy on Nigeria's trade balance using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model on the time series data spanning from 1980 to 2018. The findings reveal that monetary policy tools of real interest and effective exchange rate have a long-run co-integration relationship and significant adverse effects on Nigeria's trade balance both in the short-run and long-run. Thus, the paper concludes that monetary policy is a veritable tool through which Nigeria can maintain a favorable trade balance. Therefore, policymakers should step on measures that will maintain low-interest rates to sustain a flexible exchange rate and remove all rigidities associated with the international payment system.JEL Classification: C22, E52, F13How to Cite:Sakanko, M.

Abstract

The study examines whether tax policies in Nigeria have similarimplications on the manufacturing sector’s output during the1994Q1-2020Q4 period using the ARDL bounds testing approach.The bounds testing result suggests the presence of cointegrationbetween tax policies and the manufacturing sector output. Further,the estimation results demonstrate that company income tax (CIT)and import tax are positively related to manufacturing sectoroutput. In contrast, value-added tax (VAT) has a negative effecton the manufacturing sector output, both in the short- and longterm.In addition, the results of the Granger causality test indicatea unidirectional causal relationship running from tax policies tothe manufacturing sector output and not vice versa. Thus, policiesand measures are recommended to prioritize the CIT and importtax, review the assortment in the VAT, and ensure accountabilityand transparency in the tax system.JEL Classification: C32, L60, H22
