Our analysis confirms the long run relationship between imports, foreign capital inflo...

Exchange Rate Volatility and Foreign Capital Inflows in Nigeria (1990-2016), Cointegration, DOLS and Granger Causality Approach

The aim of this study is to examine the nexus between exchange rate volatility and foreign capital inflows in Nigeria. The results from the past empirical studies about this subject matter have been controversial, which has created a gap in the literature. The study extracted data from CBN Statistical Bulletin and UNCTAD investment report from 1990-2016. Consequently, the findings that emerged ...

Cointegration and Error Correction

1 The Background Elementary courses in statistics introduce at an early stage the key assumption of “random sampling”. In more technical language, the data set is assumed to be identically and independently distributed (i.i.d.). In this framework a range of simple and elegant results can be derived, for example, that the variance of the mean of n observations is 1/n times the variance of the ob...
