This study examines the impact of institutional quality on economic growth in Nigeria from 2001 to 2019 using annual time series data. The study finds that institutional quality has a significant negative influence on economic growth in Nigeria based on the autoregressive distributed lag model. It recommends improving institutional quality by strengthening anti-corruption efforts, increasing accountability, and improving regulatory authority and government effectiveness through leadership selection processes to support long-term economic growth.
This document summarizes a research article that analyzes the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI), economic growth, and good governance in OECD countries from 1996-2013. It finds that FDI, economic growth, and all proxies of institutional quality (regulatory quality, corruption control, political stability, voice and accountability, and government effectiveness) have significant positive associations with each other. A Granger causality test shows bidirectional causation between FDI and regulatory quality impacting economic growth, and unidirectional causation from other institutional quality proxies to economic growth. The results imply that maintaining high institutional quality leads to greater economic growth and FDI inflows.
4.[30 39]long run relationship between private investment and monetary policy...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a research journal article that investigates the long-run relationship between private investment and monetary policy in Nigeria from 1980-2009. It uses vector auto-regression techniques to test the relationship between private investment, GDP, money supply, and other factors. The results showed that money supply has a negative short-run impact on private investment, while GDP and other factors have a positive impact. In the long-run, all the variables became statistically significant. This implies that monetary policy in Nigeria has positively affected the growth of private investment and the economy over the long term. The document reviews several other studies on the relationship between financial development, private investment, and economic growth.

This study investigated the long-run relationship between private investment and monetary policy in Nigeria from 1981 to 2009. The results of the vector autoregression model showed that in the short-run, money supply had a negative but insignificant impact on private investment, while GDP and other factors had a positive impact. However, in the long-run all variables became statistically significant, with money supply positively affecting private investment growth. This implies that monetary policy in Nigeria has positively influenced the growth of private investment over the long-run. The study concluded that private investment and monetary policy have been negatively related in the short-run in terms of money supply, but positively related based on GDP and other factors in the long-run.

This study examined the relationship between interest rate and economic growth in Nigeria, using secondary time series panel data for the period 1985 – 2014. Data was collected from various issues of the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and the National Bureau of Statistics. The study employed Augmented Dicker-Fuller (ADF) unit root tests as well as Johansen co-integration test followed by Error Correlation Model (ECM) approach. The ADF unit root test results indicated that the variables are all stationary at first difference. The variables were integrated of order one (1) which implies that the null hypothesis of non-stationary for all the variables of interest is rejected. The Johansen co-integration test result revealed the existence of two co-integrating relationship between the variables at 5% level of significance. The study proceeded to perform the ECM approach and found that interest rate is inversely related to economic growth, but the relationship is statistically insignificant. The recommended that monetary authorities should adopt appropriate polices that would promote and stimulate economic growth in Nigeria.
This document discusses a study examining the link between institutions and industrial development across Indian states. It analyzes three major components of institutions: legal institutions, state intervention, and political institutions. The study uses data on state GDP growth and industrial development levels across states to empirically test the significance of each institutional component in explaining variations. The results suggest state intervention significantly explains GDP growth variation, while all three institutional components highly significantly explain differences in industrial development levels across Indian states. The study aims to analyze the role of different institutional components in state-level industrial development using regression analysis.

This study examined the effect interest rate on economic growth in Nigeria. Augmented Dickey – Fuller (ADF), Bound Test and Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) were employed to examine the effect of impact of interest rate on economic growth in Nigeria. The unit root test showed gross domestic product was 1(0) while interest rate, investment and gross capital formation were 1(1). The result of the Bound Test indicated long run relationship among the macroeconomic variables employed in the study. The result of the ARDL indicated that interest rate had negative effect on economic growth both in short run and long run. However, in the long run investment and gross capital formation were established to have positive effect on economic growth with gross capital formation being insignificant. It was concluded that interest rate has a macroeconomic tool is not effective in stimulating economic growth in Nigeria. It was recommended that the level of interest rate should be adequately controlled for the purpose of stimulating economic growth without inflationary pressure. Finally, robust macroeconomic policies aimed at ensuring economic stability should be formulated in order to increase capital formation and attract investment in order to promote economic growth.
This study empirically investigates the impact of institutional variables on financial development in 29 African
countries. The Pooled Mean Group estimation method was applied to annual data covering the 2000 to 2014 period.
The results show that in the short run, economic freedom has a positive impact on financial development. In the long
term, democracy has a negatve impact on financial development while corruption and economic freedom positively
affect financial development. This suggests that promoting economic freedom is conducive to financial
development. However, in African countries, democracy is not in favour of financial development.
Role of Development Finance Institutions in Developing the Nigerian Agricultu...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study investigates the role of development finance institutions (DFIs) in agricultural
sector development in Nigeria. African Development Bank (AfDB), World Bank and International Development
Association (IDA) were the underlying DFIs while agriculture value added formed the basis for measuring
agricultural sector development. Data on the variables were sourced from World Development Indicators (WDI)
and analyzed using error correction mechanism (ECM). The unit root test results indicate that all the variables
are not stationary. However, they become stationary after first differencing and as such they all integrated of
order one. The cointegration test results revealed that the variables have long run relationship. The result
showed that the first and second lag of agriculture value added impacted negatively on its current. One-period
lag of AfDB loan has significant positive relationship with current value of agriculture value added. The result
showed that agriculture value added increased by 0.079 percent due to 1 percent increase in lag of AfDB loan. It
was also found that the lagged values of World Bank and IDA loans exert significant negative impact on
agriculture value added. The Parsimonious ECM revealedthat the model has an adjustment speed of 59.2
percent. Based on the findings, it is recommended that policymakers should prioritize the allocation of AfDB
loans into productive sectors of the economy with particular emphasis on agriculture with a view to driving the
development process in the real sector.

Human capital development and economic growth in nigeriaAlexander Decker
1. The study evaluates the relationship between human capital development and economic growth in Nigeria using data from 1977-2011.
2. The results of the analysis show there is a strong positive relationship between primary school enrollment, life expectancy, and economic growth (proxied by GDP). However, public expenditure on education has a negative impact on economic growth.
3. The findings suggest that investments in education and health can promote economic growth by increasing labor productivity. However, Nigeria needs to improve how it utilizes expenditures on education to achieve quality education and maximize its impact on the economy.
Estimating the impact of governance quality on development in sub saharan africaAlexander Decker
This document analyzes the impact of governance quality on development in Southern Africa using data from 11 countries from 2005 to 2012. It finds that political stability and voice and accountability have a statistically significant positive effect on development, with political stability having a more pronounced impact. Approximately 25% of the variation in development is explained by political stability and voice and accountability. The random effects model is selected as the most appropriate estimation technique based on the Breusch-Pagan and Hausman tests.
Measuring the Dynamics of Financial Deepening and Economic Growth in Nigeria,...iosrjce
The study examined the relationship between financial deepening and economic growth for the
period 1981 to 2013 using empirical evidence from Nigeria. The Engel-Granger two-step cointegration
procedures and Error Correction Model (ECM) were used as the method of estimation. The analyses of
residuals of the OLS regression showed evidence in favour of cointegration between financial deepening and
economic growth. Similarly, estimates from the error correction model provide evidence to show that financial
deepening indicators and GDP series converge to a long-run equilibrium at a reasonably fast rate. The result
points to the fact that the deepening of the financial system can engineer the Nigerian economy to greater
growth.

Economic Development Implications of the International Financial Institutions...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : Employment generation has remained central to the policy goal of economic development in
Nigeria. In view of this, an empirical investigation into the link between international financial institutions loans
and employment rate was carried out in this study. Specifically, the effects of loans from the International
Finance Corporation (IFC), International Development Association (IDA), Paris Club and African Development
Bank on employment rate were examined. The data for the variables were obtained from the United Nations
Development Programme Human Development Report, National Bureau of Statistics, World Development
Indicators and International Debt Statistics. The empirical investigation followed an ex post facto research
design with the application of descriptive statistics, unit root and cointegration tests as well as error correction
model and Granger causality tests as the data analysis techniques. The unit root test results revealed that all the
variables are stationary at first difference, which justifies the test for cointegration using the Johansen method. It
was found from the cointegration test results that long run relationship exists among the variables in the model.
The parsimonious ECM revealed that IDA and African Development Bank loans have a significant positive
effect on employment rate. This highlights the substantial role played these funding sources in generating
employment in Nigeria. On the contrary, International Finance Corporation and Paris Club do not have any
significant effect on employment rate. Owing to the findings, it is recommended that loans available to Nigeria
from the international development association should be channeled to investments in critical infrastructure and
agriculture development to generate employment and achieve economic development.

Prudent macroeconomic management is important for poverty reduction and sustainable development in Nigeria. Over the past 30 years, Nigeria has experienced macroeconomic instability, financial distress, political uncertainty, high unemployment, insecurity, poverty, and natural resource mismanagement. Sound macroeconomic policies that promote economic growth through efficient allocation of resources can help reduce poverty and enable sustainable development. However, Nigeria's high levels of corruption and poor macroeconomic management have undermined growth and development goals. Prudent management of resources is needed to achieve more equitable distribution of wealth and opportunities for poverty reduction.
This study is about the impact of selected macroeconomic variables on economic growth of Bangladesh. Economic growth of Bangladesh is measured in terms of annual nominal GDP growth rate. Least squared regression model has been employed considering exchange rate, export, import and inflation rate as independent variables and gross domestic product as the dependent variable in this study. The results reveal that export and import have significant positive impact on GDP growth rate. The other variables (exchange rate and inflation) are not significant, indicating that there exists no significant relationship among the variables. The findings will help the policy makers to make policies concerning the country’s economic growth to remain robust in the near future.
Financial development and economic growth in nigeriaAlexander Decker
The document discusses the relationship between financial development and economic growth in Nigeria. It analyzes previous literature on the topic which shows mixed findings on the direction of the relationship. The study aims to contribute new evidence on how financial development impacts economic growth in Nigeria using time series data and econometric modeling. Preliminary results suggest a long-run relationship between financial development indicators like bank credit and economic growth as measured by GDP. However, some variables like lending rates did not have the expected effect. The paper concludes with recommendations for policies to strengthen this relationship and foster growth.

This document provides a review of several studies that have examined the link between financial development and
economic growth. The review finds mixed or inconsistent results across studies. Some studies find a significant positive
relationship between finance and growth, while others do not find a significant link. Some studies find unidirectional
causality from finance to growth or vice versa, while other studies find bidirectional causality. The review covers studies
using data from various countries and time periods that employ different econometric models and variables. Overall, the
inconsistent findings call for further research using multiple recent models in a single study to better understand the finance-
growth relationship.
Governance for economic and social development in Africa: A special reference...iosrjce
When we say Africa we say poverty, disease and war. We just have the wrong vision about it. Today,
this big forest continent has changed. We don't have the old disastrous rates about war, floods and corruption.
We have improvement in many sectors starting agriculture, natural resources and higher studies.
Africa’s economic prospects have never been brighter. But realizing this potential depends on governments
understanding the private sector and how to support it. This is an extremely important part of the work that the
Africa Governance Initiative does.
This is big evidence about Africa progress. In fact, most African countries have marked recent years, a
significant turning point. Thanks to the role that governance plays in achieving economic and social
performance. This has been achieved through the establishment of effective and accountable institutions,
whether political, economic or social, plays a key role in achieving social and economic performance especially
in the countries of the continent.
This paper will focus on the study of the relevance or otherwise of the implementation of the governance model
in terms of social and economic performance in Africa. This argument is supported by a governance assessment
carried out according to the Ibrahim Index of African Governance.
A study on the mediating effect of gdp on relationship between gross advances...Alexander Decker
1. The study investigates the role of GDP as a mediating variable between gross advances (loans issued) and non-performing assets (NPAs, or bad loans) of major Indian banks from 2000-2001 to 2011-2012.
2. It finds that GDP significantly interacts with the relationship between advances and NPAs, with this interaction effect differing before and after the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
3. The study aims to determine if GDP mediates the relationship differently for major bank groups in India, and whether this mediation was impacted by the financial crisis.
State business and economic performance in ghanaDr Lendy Spires
This document analyzes state-business relations (SBRs) in Ghana and their impact on economic performance. It finds that effective SBRs, characterized by formal and regular engagement between government and businesses, correlate with improved firm productivity and economic growth. A quantitative analysis of over 250 Ghanaian firms from 1991-2002 showed that social networks and connections between firms and government increased productivity. Interviews with state agencies and businesses confirmed that SBRs have shifted from informal to more formal and synergistic relations since 1992, with positive effects like expedited import clearance. Overall, the study concludes that an enabling environment and effective SBRs are important for private sector development, investment, and poverty reduction in Ghana.
Effect of Corporate Governance Committees and Financial Performance of Health...ijtsrd
This study examined empirically corporate governance committees and financial performance of healthcare companies. The independent variables are remuneration committees and nomination committees and independent variable was proxied with return on equity. The study used Ex Post Facto research design. Regression analysis was employed to test the hypotheses. The result showed that remuneration committee has a negative effect on return on assets, and this effect was not statistically significant at 5 level of significance. While nomination committee has a positive effect on return on assets, and this effect was statistically significant at 5 level of significance. It was suggested that the remuneration committee ensure that the appointed board members have an appropriate balance of skills to successfully discharge their duties.

Effect of public investment on economic growth in bangladeshAlexander Decker
This document analyzes the effect of public investment on economic growth in Bangladesh through econometric analysis. It summarizes previous literature finding both positive and ambiguous effects of public investment on growth. The document then describes the author's methodology, including data sources and definitions of variables like GDP, public investment (ADP), and gross capital formation (GCF). Descriptive statistics of the variables from 1973-2011 are also provided. The author's model specifies GDP as a linear function of ADP and GCF to test the relationship between public investment and economic growth in Bangladesh.
The document analyzes the relationship between governance and economic growth in Africa. It finds that improving governance, as measured by a composite index constructed from World Bank indicators, has a significant positive impact on economic growth. Specifically, a 1% improvement in the governance index is estimated to increase real GDP by 1.7% based on data from 44 African countries from 2000 to 2015. Countries that improved their governance indicators the most, such as Rwanda, Angola, and Ethiopia, experienced stronger economic growth. Therefore, strengthening governance is presented as an effective way for African countries to boost economic growth with relatively low financial costs.

Over the past 30 years, Nigeria has experienced macroeconomic instability, financial distress, political uncertainty, high unemployment, insecurity, poverty, and natural resource mismanagement. Sound macroeconomic policies that promote economic growth through efficient allocation of resources can help reduce poverty and enable sustainable development. However, Nigeria's high levels of corruption and poor macroeconomic management have undermined growth and development goals. Prudent management of resources is needed to achieve more equitable distribution of wealth and opportunities for poverty reduction.
This study is about the impact of selected macroeconomic variables on economic growth of Bangladesh. Economic growth of Bangladesh is measured in terms of annual nominal GDP growth rate. Least squared regression model has been employed considering exchange rate, export, import and inflation rate as independent variables and gross domestic product as the dependent variable in this study. The results reveal that export and import have significant positive impact on GDP growth rate. The other variables (exchange rate and inflation) are not significant, indicating that there exists no significant relationship among the variables. The findings will help the policy makers to make policies concerning the country’s economic growth to remain robust in the near future.
Financial development and economic growth in nigeriaAlexander Decker
The document discusses the relationship between financial development and economic growth in Nigeria. It analyzes previous literature on the topic which shows mixed findings on the direction of the relationship. The study aims to contribute new evidence on how financial development impacts economic growth in Nigeria using time series data and econometric modeling. Preliminary results suggest a long-run relationship between financial development indicators like bank credit and economic growth as measured by GDP. However, some variables like lending rates did not have the expected effect. The paper concludes with recommendations for policies to strengthen this relationship and foster growth.

This document provides a review of several studies that have examined the link between financial development and
economic growth. The review finds mixed or inconsistent results across studies. Some studies find a significant positive
relationship between finance and growth, while others do not find a significant link. Some studies find unidirectional
causality from finance to growth or vice versa, while other studies find bidirectional causality. The review covers studies
using data from various countries and time periods that employ different econometric models and variables. Overall, the
inconsistent findings call for further research using multiple recent models in a single study to better understand the finance-
growth relationship.
Governance for economic and social development in Africa: A special reference...iosrjce
When we say Africa we say poverty, disease and war. We just have the wrong vision about it. Today,
this big forest continent has changed. We don't have the old disastrous rates about war, floods and corruption.
We have improvement in many sectors starting agriculture, natural resources and higher studies.
Africa’s economic prospects have never been brighter. But realizing this potential depends on governments
understanding the private sector and how to support it. This is an extremely important part of the work that the
Africa Governance Initiative does.
This is big evidence about Africa progress. In fact, most African countries have marked recent years, a
significant turning point. Thanks to the role that governance plays in achieving economic and social
performance. This has been achieved through the establishment of effective and accountable institutions,
whether political, economic or social, plays a key role in achieving social and economic performance especially
in the countries of the continent.
This paper will focus on the study of the relevance or otherwise of the implementation of the governance model
in terms of social and economic performance in Africa. This argument is supported by a governance assessment
carried out according to the Ibrahim Index of African Governance.
A study on the mediating effect of gdp on relationship between gross advances...Alexander Decker
1. The study investigates the role of GDP as a mediating variable between gross advances (loans issued) and non-performing assets (NPAs, or bad loans) of major Indian banks from 2000-2001 to 2011-2012.
2. It finds that GDP significantly interacts with the relationship between advances and NPAs, with this interaction effect differing before and after the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
3. The study aims to determine if GDP mediates the relationship differently for major bank groups in India, and whether this mediation was impacted by the financial crisis.
State business and economic performance in ghanaDr Lendy Spires
This document analyzes state-business relations (SBRs) in Ghana and their impact on economic performance. It finds that effective SBRs, characterized by formal and regular engagement between government and businesses, correlate with improved firm productivity and economic growth. A quantitative analysis of over 250 Ghanaian firms from 1991-2002 showed that social networks and connections between firms and government increased productivity. Interviews with state agencies and businesses confirmed that SBRs have shifted from informal to more formal and synergistic relations since 1992, with positive effects like expedited import clearance. Overall, the study concludes that an enabling environment and effective SBRs are important for private sector development, investment, and poverty reduction in Ghana.
Effect of Corporate Governance Committees and Financial Performance of Health...ijtsrd
This study examined empirically corporate governance committees and financial performance of healthcare companies. The independent variables are remuneration committees and nomination committees and independent variable was proxied with return on equity. The study used Ex Post Facto research design. Regression analysis was employed to test the hypotheses. The result showed that remuneration committee has a negative effect on return on assets, and this effect was not statistically significant at 5 level of significance. While nomination committee has a positive effect on return on assets, and this effect was statistically significant at 5 level of significance. It was suggested that the remuneration committee ensure that the appointed board members have an appropriate balance of skills to successfully discharge their duties.

Effect of public investment on economic growth in bangladeshAlexander Decker
This document analyzes the effect of public investment on economic growth in Bangladesh through econometric analysis. It summarizes previous literature finding both positive and ambiguous effects of public investment on growth. The document then describes the author's methodology, including data sources and definitions of variables like GDP, public investment (ADP), and gross capital formation (GCF). Descriptive statistics of the variables from 1973-2011 are also provided. The author's model specifies GDP as a linear function of ADP and GCF to test the relationship between public investment and economic growth in Bangladesh.
The document analyzes the relationship between governance and economic growth in Africa. It finds that improving governance, as measured by a composite index constructed from World Bank indicators, has a significant positive impact on economic growth. Specifically, a 1% improvement in the governance index is estimated to increase real GDP by 1.7% based on data from 44 African countries from 2000 to 2015. Countries that improved their governance indicators the most, such as Rwanda, Angola, and Ethiopia, experienced stronger economic growth. Therefore, strengthening governance is presented as an effective way for African countries to boost economic growth with relatively low financial costs.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

Abstract
This study examined the influence of institutional quality on the development of Nigerian economy
in the 21st century using annual time series data covering 2001 to 2019. The data for the
variables were checked against unit root problems using ADF unit root test and all the variables
were either integrated of I(1) or I(0). Consequently, the Pesaran, Shin, and Smith (PSS) Bounds
test was employed and it confirmed the existence of a long-run relationship among the variables of
the study. The Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was utilized and the study found
that Institutional Quality (INSQ) exerts a significant negative influence on economic growth. The
error correction term was negative and statistically significant implying that the economic growth
was capable of reverting to the long-run equilibrium path slowly in event of any disequilibrium.
The study recommends improvement in the quality of the country's institutions by instituting a
strong fight against corruption, increased accountability and freedom of expression, improved
regulatory authority, and increased government effectiveness through improved leadership
selection processes.

1. Introduction
The quality of institutions in developing countries has taken central in empirical
discourse. Institutional quality entails the rule of law, individual rights, as well as
high-quality government regulation and services. It is the extent to which a
country's institutions facilitate international transactions, and provide for their
security and predictability. To Bruinshoofd (2016), it captures laws, individual
rights and high quality government regulation and services and that it reinforces
economic development. The importance of the quality of institutions in
supporting investment and economic growth cannot be overemphasized. As a
result, the quality of institutions is critical in ensuring the regulation and
implementation of political, social, and economic activities around the world, as
well as proper monitoring. Viable institutions foster social cohesion and
macroeconomic stability, thereby increase investment and growth (Easterly,
2. Impact of Institutional Quality on Economic Growth in Nigeria
158 Gusau International Journal of Management and Social Sciences, Federal University, Gusau, Vol.4 , No. 3, October, 2021
Ritzen & Woolcock, 2006). Evidence suggests that countries with strong
institutions encourage a strong legal framework for efficient fund mobilization
and allocation, resulting in a less risky business environment (Abubakar, 2020;
Law & Azamn-Saini, 2008). Other studies have also emphasized the importance
of strong institutional quality in ensuring long-term growth and development
(Thorbecke, 2013; Iheonu, Ihedimma, & Onwuanaku, 2017; Parks, Buntaine &
Buch, 2017).
The basic impediments to Latin American and African countries in achieving
economic growth are uncertainty and manipulation, whitespace in the judicial
system, corruption, bribery, tax evasion, ill-defined property rights, and the
presence of inefficient institutions such as non-growth enhancing policies as ill-
conceived arrangements that cause nations to be unattractive to investors (Luiz,
2009; Fosu, Betes & Hoeffler, 2006, Baliamoline, 2005; Birdsall 2007; Charnock,
2009). For instance, Asian economies have achieved economic development due
to the quality of institutions, but African nations, such as Nigeria and most others,
are plagued by high unemployment and poverty. To this effect, governments have
shifted attention or focus more on advancing the quality of institutions as that of
developed countries (Rodrik, 2008). Generally, despite the attention in enhancing
the quality of institutions in developing countries and Nigeria inclusive, there is
yet a consensus on whether these improvements are effective (Andrews, 2013).
Consequently, countries with weak institutions find it difficult to evolve rapidly
enough to enjoy economic growth and development (Abubakar, 2020). This is
justified as institutions are seen as part of a country's productive capability
frontier. Nigeria has witnessed worsening quality of institutions over time. The
indices for rule of law, government effectiveness, control of corruption,
regulatory quality, voice and accountability, and political stability have been
trending negative throughout the 21st
century (World Bank, 2021). This has
characterized most of the developing economies alike.
In order to enhance the quality of institutions in Nigeria, the government
established the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau, the Code of Conduct
Bureau, and Public Complaints Commission. Further attempts were made by
instituting institutions that can ensure prudence and accountability in resource
utilization in both public and private sectors towards sustainable economic
growth. Some of these institutions include Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), the
Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), Fiscal Responsibility Commission

(FRC), among others. Given the level of institutional deficiencies noted above
and the negative trending pattern over time, it has become imperative to
investigate the impact of institutional quality on economic growth in Nigeria,
particularly those charged with ensuring efficient management of scarce resources
that are still operating at a low ebb due to a lack of political will or weak legal
backing. Available literature have shown that institutions are viewed as a basic
requirement for economic success and long term progress and that institutional
quality consists of a broad range of factors, some of which are hard to measure
(Bruinshoofd, 2016). However, the World Bank constructed institutional quality
index from six World Bank Governance Indicators.
Given Nigeria's declining institutional quality, the country's economic growth has
become highly precarious. More importantly, while there is widespread
agreement that the quality of institutions and economic growth are inextricably
related, the relevant economic literature is divided on the exact nature of this
relationship (Bruinshoofd, 2016). Even though the common consensus is that
institutional quality is more likely to promote economic growth than the reverse
direction of causality, it must be re-examined empirically, hence the need for this
study. Consequently, the study is set to examine the effect of institutional quality
on economic growth in Nigeria.
The remaining sections of this paper are organized as follows; section 2 is
devoted to the literature review. The methodology is presented in section 3 while
section 4 presents, discusses, and interprets the empirical results. Section 5 offers
conclusion and policy recommendations.
2. Review of Related Literature
This study is anchored on the Solow-Swan neoclassical growth theory and the
institutional theory. According to the Solow-Swan theory, technological change,
labour, and capital are key factors in determining economic output (Solow, 1956;
Swan, 1956). Mankiw, Romer, and Weil (1992) expanded on this theory by
including the accumulation of human capital. This is no longer the case, as there
are several driving factors to sustainable growth, one of which is institutional
quality that has taken centre stage among other determinants. According to the
institutional quality theory, the institutional framework within which economic
agents interact with one another in an economy influences economic development
(Alexiou, Tsaliki & Osman, 2014). According to them, the 'rules of the game' in a
society are defined by the prevailing explicit and implicit behavioural norms, as
4. Impact of Institutional Quality on Economic Growth in Nigeria
160 Gusau International Journal of Management and Social Sciences, Federal University, Gusau, Vol.4 , No. 3, October, 2021
well as their ability to create appropriate incentives for desirable economic
behaviour (Rodrik & Subramanian, 2003).
Some studies investigated the impact of institutional quality on investment and its
relationship to economic growth. For example, in trying to understand the role of
institutional quality in the nexus between FDI and economic growth, Jilenga and
Helian (2017) used the fixed effect and GMM models for the analysis on a sample
of 36 countries from 2001 to 2015. The study found that institutional quality has a
positive influence on economic growth even as foreign direct investment exerts
negative influence on economic growth and development. In understanding the
relationship between institutional quality and FDI, the study showed that
institutional quality increases the spill-over effect from FDI and thus matters for
economic growth. Peres, Ameer, and Xu (2018) categorized countries into
developed and developing in assessing the influence of institutional quality on
investment. The study found that institutional quality has positively and
significantly impacted on investment (particularly, FDI) in developed countries.
Further research found that institutional quality has a favourable and considerable
impact on economic growth in developed countries, whereas it has a negligible
impact in developing economies. Bon (2019) also investigated the role of
institutional quality on the public investment-growth relationship using a balanced
panel data of 52 provinces in Vietnam from 2005 to 2014 through the estimation
method of difference panel Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The study
found that public investment and institutional quality significantly promote
economic growth and development.
Using panel data for low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high-income countries
spanning 1996 to 2016, Sabir, Rafique, and Abbas (2019) examined the impact of
institutional quality on FDI inflows using the system Generalized Method of
Moments (GMM). In all groupings of nations, the study indicated that
institutional quality has a significant impact on FDI. Similarly, Akpo and Hassan
(2015) examined the institutional influence as a determinant of Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) focusing on Nigeria using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag
(ARDL) cointegration technique. The study also found that institutional qualities
utilize long-run sway in determining FDI inflows and it is seen an essential factor
in determining FDI in Nigeria. Using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) technique,
Jurčić, Franc and Barišić (2020) also examined the impact of institutional quality
on foreign direct investment inflow with evidence from Croatia covering 1996 to
2017. The study found that the institutional quality variables (political stability,
5. Impact of Institutional Quality on Economic Growth in Nigeria
Gusau International Journal of Management and Social Sciences, Federal University, Gusau, Vol.4 , No. 3, October, 2021 161
regulatory quality, the rule of law, government effectiveness, and control of
corruption) were not found as important determinants of the FDI inflow in
Croatia. Other scholars such as Chaib and Siham (2014), Fakher (2014), Ameer,
Sohag, Xu and Halwan (2020) and Minh (2019) also examined the relationship
and found the positive influence of institutional quality on foreign direct
investment.
Some studies examine the relationship between institutional quality and economic
growth either using time series data or panel data. Some of the panel analysis are:
Radzeviča and Bulderberga (2018) used the system Generalized Method of
Moments to analyze the impact of institutional drivers on economic growth in a
panel of 113 nations from 2006 to 2016. The study discovered that institutional
quality has a significant positive impact on economic growth. Other panel studies
include, Hassan, Meyer and Kot (2019) who investigated the role of institutional
quality in the oil wealth–economic growth nexus for 35 oil-exporting developing
countries from 1984 to 2016 using panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL)
with a dynamic fixed effect estimator. The study found a contingent effect of oil
wealth on economic growth and that institutional quality mitigate the negative
effect of oil wealth on economic growth in the long run, while it enhances the
positive effect of oil wealth on economic growth in the short-run. Kebede and
Takyii (2017) also examined the causal relationship between institutional quality
and economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa from 1996 to 2014 using system
GMM technique. The study found that there is a long-run relationship between
institutional quality and economic growth and that institutional quality, trade
openness, financial development, and debt positively affect economic growth.
Sani, Said, Ismail and Mazlan (2019) used the Generalised Method of Moments
(GMM) approach to assess the impact of public debt and institutional quality on
economic growth in 46 Sub-Saharan African nations from 2000 to 2014. The
empirical result showed that institutional quality has both a direct and indirect
impact on economic growth. Using a related panel structure but different
technique, Lahore, Qureshi, and Nadeem (2015) investigated the impact of
institutional quality on economic growth using panel data from 1990 to 2013 for
13 Asian emerging economies. Findings from Panel ARDL showed that
institutional quality has a positive impact on economic growth. Yushi and Borojo
(2018) also looked at the impact of institutional quality, border and transportation
efficiency, as well as physical and communication infrastructure, on overall and
intra-Africa trade for 44 African nations and their 173 trading partners from 2000
to 2014. According to the study, the marginal influence of institutional quality,
6. Impact of Institutional Quality on Economic Growth in Nigeria
162 Gusau International Journal of Management and Social Sciences, Federal University, Gusau, Vol.4 , No. 3, October, 2021
physical infrastructure, and communication infrastructure on trade flow appears to
be growing as GDP per capita rises. These study were able to assess the
relationship between institutional quality and economic growth, however, the
studies were not in the context of the Nigerian economy that has distinctive
features.
More so, using panel data, Nguyen, Su and Nguyen (2018) investigated the
impact of institutional quality on economic growth for 29 emerging economies
from 2002 to 2015 by employing System Generalized Method of Moments
(SGMM) estimator. The study found a significant positive impact of institutional
quality on economic growth but it impedes the positive effects of Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI). Assessing the effect of institutional quality on economic
growth in developed and developing countries, Helgason (2010) used a pooled
regression model and a fixed-effects model. The results indicated that institutional
quality has a significant and positive relationship with growth in both developed
and developing countries. Recently, Glawe and Wagner (2019) examined the
effect of institutional quality and human capital on economic growth using 35
European countries from 1996 to 2014. Results from system GMM estimation
showed that institutional quality is a key driver of the per capita income growth in
Europe. The study also considered the disaggregated analysis of the effects of the
institutional quality indices and found that political stability, rule of law,
regulatory quality, and control of corruption appeared to be particularly important,
whereas voice and accountability as well as government effectiveness were less
relevant. Arshad (2019) also examined the role of institutional quality on
economic growth using 104 countries and applied GMM estimation method. Both
FDI inflows and institutional quality are linked to higher economic growth,
according to the study.
Using time series data for Nigeria, Abubakar (2020) investigated the effect of
institutional quality on economic growth from 1979 to 2018. The study used
Johansen Cointegration and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) approach and the
results showed that economic growth responds positively and significantly to
institutional quality (contract intensive money), while effective governance index
exerts positive but insignificant influence on the growth of the economy.
However, this current study examines the relationship using asymmetric approach
while considering the composite index of institutional quality on economic
growth in the country. As a result, a novel and non-linear approach is needed to
re-examine the impact of institutional quality on economic growth in Nigeria.

3. Research Methodology
3.1 Theoretical Model
The empirical model for this study is based on the theoretical model suggested by
Solow (1956) growth model, and Mankiw et al (1992) with modifications.
Similarly, the endogenous growth model purported by Lucas (1988) indicates that
investment in human capital, innovation, and knowledge is a significant
contributor to economic growth. The basic neoclassical production function can
be written as:
,
Y f K L
(1)
Here, Y denotes the level of output, K is the capital formation and L is the labour
force. Human capital is also considered to be the major determinant of economic
growth in endogenous growth theories advanced by Romer (1986, 1990) and
Lucas (1988) and it is the key extension of the neoclassical model. Human capital
(H) is incorporated into the fundamental neoclassical production function, and the
model becomes:
, ,
Y f K L H
(2)
Standard aggregate function can be modified as suggested by Feder (1983),
Grossman and Helpman (1990) and Ram (1996). Thus, introducing the
institutional quality, the model can be specified as:
, , , ,
Y f K L H INSQ
(3)
The study decomposed capital into domestic investment and foreign direct
investment, while labour force for labour. Given that human capital development
leads to effective labour force, the study considered labour force as a proxy for
Labour (L) and human capital (H). The model can be defined as follows:
, , ,
RGDP f INSQ DOM FDI LAB
(4)
Where RGDP is for real Gross Domestic Product growth rate, INSQ stands for
institutional quality, and DOM stands for domestic investment, FDI is foreign
direct investment, and LAB is labour force.

3.2 Method of Data Analysis
This study utilized Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. It is indeed
worth noting that ARDL has a lot of advantages when it comes to handling
cointegration because of its inherent robustness. When some variables are (0)
I ,
and others are (1)
I , ARDL approach is most appropriate. This is because, the
traditional cointegration technique of Johansen (1995) and some others, typically
failed since all variables need to have identical orders of integration, usually (1)
I .
This necessitates pre-testing each of the variables in question for the presence of a
unit root. This study therefore adopts the ADF unit root technique to test for the
presence or otherwise of unit root in each of the variables under consideration.
Besides, the Pesaran, Shin, and Smith (2001) Bounds test for cointegration is not
subject to such limitations when series have mixed order of integration. The
ARDL method therefore works when all or some variables are (0)
I , (1)
I or even
mutually cointegrated as noted earlier. A typical generalized ARDL
model is specified as:
(6)
Where is the dependent variable, is a vector that are allowed to be
purely or or co-integrated; is the coefficient of the lagged
dependent variable called scalar; are the coefficient vectors; are
optimal lag orders; is the stochastic error term. The reparameterised ARDL
error correction model is specified as:
(7)
Where , group specific speed of adjustment coefficient (expected
that ), = vector of long-run relationships, , the
error correction term, , are the short-run dynamic coefficients. The ARDL
conditional Error Correction Form and the Bounds Test can be specified as:

From equation (8), it is clear that the error correction term, typically denoted as

cointegrated. Thus, the dynamic equilibrium for the main model in equation (5)

3.3 Data and Data Measurements
The data utilized in this study include data on economic growth measured as the
rate of change of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), institutional quality index
(-2.5 weak; 2.5 strong), domestic investment as a percent of GDP, foreign direct
investment as a percent of GDP, and labour force in millions of people. The data
spans 2001 to 2019. All the data on values were sourced from World Bank. Six
different institutional quality measures were used to calculate the institution's
quality. These include: rule of law index, government effectiveness index, control
of corruption, regulatory quality index, voice and accountability index and
political stability index. Available literatures have shown that institutional quality
consists of a broad range of factors, some of which are hard to measure
(Bruinshoofd, 2016). However, the World Bank constructed institutional quality
index from six World Bank Governance Indicators. The World Bank Global
Governance Indicators (WGI) have been used by several scholars such as Easterly
and Levine (2003), IMF (2003), Kuncic (2013), and Fabro and Aixalá (2013).
This study also utilises the World Bank's institutional quality index, which
include political stability, voice and accountability and lack of violence, rule of

From the descriptive results in Table 2, it shows that economic growth in Nigeria
averaged 5.697% from 2001 to 2019. Others variables averaged 21.165% for
domestic investment, 1.567% for foreign direct investment, and -1.131 for
institutional quality that ranges from -2.5 (weak) to 2.5 (strong). This means that
the institutional quality in Nigeria over the study period is weak. More so, the
average rate of economic growth was relatively low. This is further evidenced by
the maximum growth rate of 15.33% in 2002, with no other year recording a
growth rate in the double digits. Labour force averaged 51.287 million people.
The negative maximum and minimum values of -1.025 and -1.265, respectively,
show that there has never been any high institutional quality recorded in Nigeria,
as indicated by the outcomes of institutional quality. All other variables exhibited
the distribution that is platykurtic except economic growth that exhibited a
leptokurtic pattern. The data distribution for economic growth and domestic
investment are positively skewed implying that data are tilted towards large
values, while the data distribution for institutional quality, foreign direct
investment, and labour force are negatively skewed implying that data are tilted
towards small values.

The trends show that all the institutional quality indices recorded negative indices
throughout the period under study. The implication is that none of the indices of
institutional quality has shown positive trend which means that the quality of
institutions in Nigeria are weak. The political stability index became weaker over
time, while other institutional indices such as regulatory quality, government
effectiveness, voice and accountability, rule of law, and control of corruption
improved slightly over time with fluctuations.

The trend of real GDP growth rate (proxied economic growth) shows that it has
exhibited a downward trend pattern with an initial peak in 2002 which was
subsequently followed by declining levels of economic growth in Nigeria.

Note: In ADF unit root test, the asterisk ()٭ indicates that the variable is stationary
otherwise, it is not at a 5% level of significance.
With the exception of economic growth, which is stationary at level, the ADF unit
root test shows that all other series are stationary after the first difference at the
5% level of significance. It then shows that the variables have no unit root
problems, and the ARDL model can be applied having combination of I(0) and

4.3 The Bound Test Long Run Results
Bounds test was used to determine whether the variables in the models have a
long-run relationship. The bounds test requires that the F-statistic value be greater
than the upper bound critical values at the chosen level of significance; otherwise,
no long-run relationship exists. Table 4 summarizes the findings.

Table 4 shows the F-statistic value of 6.79 is greater than the upper bounds value
of 4.01 at 5% level of significance for the ARDL model. This implies that there is
long-run relationship among the variables.

The results of the ARDL model as shown in Table 5 indicate that institutional
quality has significant negative influence on economic growth in Nigeria in the
long-run at 5% level of significance. The implication is that Nigeria's institutional
quality has harmed the economy's growth potential, resulting in negative effects.
The estimated effects of domestic investment and foreign direct investment are
positive but not statistically significant at 5% level of significance. This means
that there is a lack of investment in Nigeria, which has failed to have a long-term
impact on the country's economy. More so, the estimated influence of labour
force on economic growth in Nigeria in the long-run is positive but not
statistically significant at 5% level of significance.
4.5 The Short-Run Dynamics
The error correction model is estimated to determine the extent to which the
variables would revert to equilibrium in the event of any temporary
disequilibrium, and the result is presented in Table 6.

It is evident from Table 6 that the error correction term is negative and
statistically significant at 1% level of significance. This shows that any temporary
deviation from equilibrium path can be corrected slowly (13.9% yearly) and long-
run equilibrium will be restored. The results also show that institutional quality
has strong negative influence on economic growth in the short-run at 5% level of
significance. The implication is that the quality of Nigerian institutions is
generally low, which has contributed to the economy's slowing growth. The
lagged dependent variable has negative and significant influence on the current
level of economic growth in Nigeria at 1% level of significance.
4.6 Residuals Tests for the ARDL Model
The study examined the residuals tests for the ARDL model. The results are
presented in Table 7.

also proved that the residuals have a constant variance in the short-run, while the
Jarque-Bera Normality test result affirmed that the residuals are multivariate
normal in the short-run. The stability tests of the estimates also show that the
model and its parameter estimates are stable through the use of the Cumulative
Sum (CUSUM) and Cumulative Sum of Squares (CUSUMS) at a 5% level of
significance as depicted in Figure 4.

5.1 Conclusion
The study investigates the impact of institutional quality on economic growth in
Nigeria in the 21st
century (2001 to 2019). The study concludes that a long-run
relationship exit between institutional quality and economic growth in Nigeria.
And that the relative weak institutional quality in Nigeria has a significant
negative impact on economic growth of Nigeria. It shows therefore that political
paranoia, a lack of rule of law, a low level of regulatory quality, a lack of voice
and accountability, government ineffectiveness, and a lack of control over
corruption all impede Nigeria's economic growth.
5.2 Policy Recommendations
According to the findings of this study, Nigeria's weak institutional quality has
hampered the country's economic growth and development. Thus, in order to
achieve a high level of growth, the Nigerian government should improve the
quality of the country's institutions. This entails a vigorous anti-corruption
campaign, more accountability and freedom of expression, strengthened

regulatory authority, and improved government efficacy through better leadership
selection processes. The study also suggests that policymakers prioritize high and
improved law and order in order to ensure Nigeria's stable and accelerated
growth. These would aid in the promotion of good institutional qualities
throughout the country. This also necessitates going beyond liberal policies and
developing good governance capabilities that can accelerate productivity in all
sectors of the Nigerian economy.
