This study aimed at investigating the impact of the agricultural and industrial sector on the overall
economic development of the Nigeria using secondary data from 1981 – 2012. A multiple regression approach
was used for the estimation. To determine the stability of the time series data used in the study, Augmented
Dickey–Fuller (ADF) and Philips–Perron (pp) unit root tests were adopted. The empirical results show
cointegration relations among Real GDP per capita (RGDPP), Agricultural contribution to RGDPP (ARG),
Industrial contribution to RGDPP (IND), Interest rate (INT) and Inflation rate (IFL) in the period under
investigation. Agricultural and industrial contributions to RGDPP are significant variables explaining
economic development in Nigeria. The overall result of the analysis indicates that these sectors have significant
positive effect on economic development of Nigeria both in the short-run and in the long-run. This research
therefore suggest that there is need for government and the private investors to focus their attention on these
sectors to boost the economy of the nation and efforts must be made to diversified the economy and focus should
be shifted away from export of crude oil only and more effort should be concentrated on agricultural and
industrial development. This would translate to meaningful development in these sectors which will trickle down
to create employment opportunities, enhance productivity and increase agricultural production for exports.
Self- Help Groups, a model for Economic Growth in Nagalandpaperpublications3
Abstract: The Economic status of a nation or a state is largely associated by the presence of industries, companies and manufacturing units. The state of Nagaland though surprisingly devoid of the presence of such industries and companies has been making steady progress over the years in its economic status but at a slow phase. The introduction of the Self- help Group scheme in the state in 1999-2000 has been a blessing to the people in many respects. The present paper dwells on the immense contribution made by the SHGs towards the growth of the state’s economy. It brings out to light the role of SHGs in strengthening the economic position of the state, employment opportunities generated and the number of people seriously engaged in the SHGs. The paper attempts to examine the huge potentiality SHGs have in the absence of industries and companies by making a case study of three districts of Nagaland viz. Peren, Kohima and Dimapur districts. It also brings out the SHGs –Bank linkage programmes in the state. For this purpose the paper is divided into three sections. Section I deals with introductory remarks and outlines, the significance of self help groups for employment generation with the infusion of low capital. It also provided an input to analyse the data relating to self help groups from an all India perspective Vis a Vis to self help groups in north eastern states. Section II draws attention of the economic profile of the state and also focus on the sample size for the study emphasising on the impact of self help groups and their contribution to socio- economic development. Section III analyses the findings of the study and provides concluding remarks and suggestions.

It is observed from the analysis that at national level as well as zone level, there is unequal distribution of total subsidies . The increasing rate of total subsidies (fertilizers, electricity and irrigation) is higher than gross cropped area (GCA) during pre, first as well as second phase of liberalization periods. In total subsidies during pre-liberalisation period, the percentage share of fertilizers subsidies is maximum (38.41 in 1980-81 and 37.63 in 1985-86), whereas during 1990-91 to 2000-01, the percentage share of electricity subsidies is maximum and again in 2008-09 fertilizers subsidies has got major percentage share 87.26 per cent in total subsidies. There is a lot of variation to find out the relationship between gross cropped area (GCA) and in total subsidies in zones throughout the study period. As zone level, it is observed that there is a negative relationship between GCA and total subsidies, in west zone and in north zone (in 2006-07) and in east zone (1996-97 and in 2006-07). It is seen that there is a direct relationship in GCA and total subsidies i.e. GCA as well as total subsidies have increased at zone level in west and in north (during 1980-81 to 2000-01), in
south zone (during 1980-81 to 1996-07) and in north-east zone (during 1980-81 to 2006-07). From the above discussion, it is concluded that in India, the total subsidies of fertilizers, electricity and of irrigation have increased in terms of per hectare during pre, first as well as second liberalisation periods, whereas the increasing rate is higher in 1985-86 among all the other years and lowest rate in 2000-01. Productivity has declined in the year 1996-97 at country as well as zone level.
The Role of Cooperatives in Marketing of Agricultural Produce in Ushongo Loca...Premier Publishers
This study was designed to determine the role of cooperatives in the marketing of agricultural produce in a rural community. A structured interview schedule was used to collect data from a random sample of 115 respondents drawn from five of the eleven Council Wards in the Local Government Area. It was found that respondents’ socio-economic characteristics had no significant influence on farmers’ participation in cooperatives. The study showed further that cooperatives were able to regulate only a small proportion of the volume of produce farmers took to the market. However, three quarters (74.8%) of respondents believed that cooperatives determined prices of produce. Some of the constraints facing cooperatives identified included the large number of middlemen (75.5), inadequate storage (67.0%) and low literacy of members (67.8). It is concluded that cooperatives would better impact farmers if identified constraints are addressed by both governmental and non-governmental stakeholders.

This is an analysis of the impact of credits from formal financial institutions on the
welfare of farmers in Plateau state Nigeria. The study used survey research design and
the instrument of questionnaire to capture input variables, output data and welfare data.
Data was partly fitted into the Cobb-Douglas production function for analysis to
ascertain the impact of credit on productivity, and welfare data were analyzed through
descriptive statistics. It was found that credit available to farmers in Plateau state is
inadequate to significantly raise farm productivity and hence the welfare conditions of
farmers. It was further found that profitability, Net farm Income and welfare status of
borrowers were slightly higher than that of non-borrowers. The study therefore
recommends a renewed commitment of both government and formal financial
institutions towards improved quality and quantity of credit to farmers so as to boost
output and welfare conditions of the farmers in the state

development through planning mechanism, neither of the two prevalent economic theories i.e. the Keynesian
theory of effective demand and the neo-classical theory of flexible wage rates was not found suitable to the
Indian conditions.
Poverty reduction has been an important goal of development policy since the inception of planning in
India. Various antipoverty, employment generation and basic services programmes have been in operation for
decades in India. The ongoing reforms attach great importance to removal of poverty, and addressing
specifically the wide variations across States and the rural-urban divide. Anti-poverty strategy has three broad
components: promotion of economic growth; promotion of human development; and targeted programmes of
poverty alleviation to address multi-dimensional nature of poverty. The various programmes targeted at the
poor have been streamlined and strengthened in recent years, including through the NREGS.

incredible speed by the technological revolution.
Assessment of Plantation Sector Contribution to the Economic Growth in North ...inventionjournals
Plantation sector as the most important sector of the Indonesian economy which holds a lot of potentials for the future economic and income development of the nation. This research aimed at finding the contribution of plantation sector toward economic growth in North Sumatra using Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) analysis. A SAM can be used as a basis for an economy-wide model with several appealing features. It represents a very general accounting model, which subsumes all possible ‘real-life’ national accounting systems. Based on the SAM analysis it was found that plantation sector gives a significant influence on economic growth in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The biggest contribution comes from palm oil and its manufacturing such as CPO, vegetable oil and other similar product. Moreover, Plantation sector also give a significant influence to the household income. This can be showed from HIM of palm oil which reached IDR 1,4348 billion, followed by CPO, vegetable oil and similar product that reached IDR 1,3668 billion. In addition, Rubber oil reached IDR 1, 3628 billion that also categorized high.

Determinants of Micro Finance Accessibility among Tomato Farmers in Kokona Lo...AI Publications
This study was carried out to access the Determinants of micro finance accessibility among tomato farmers in Kokona Local Government Area in Nasarawa State. Primary data was collected from 60 tomato farmers from six Communities in Kokona Local Government Area using a structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, percentages, frequency distribution, range and regression analysis. The results indicated that most of the respondents were young and able-bodied who could be productive for agricultural production in a given conducive atmosphere. Majority of the respondents were married and had 30 years and above farming experience. Results of the findings revealed that majority (73.3%) had access to credit while only 26.7% had no access to credit. The result also indicated that majority (80.0%) of the respondents were males while only 20.0% were female. Results from the findings revealed that larger proportion (26.7%) of the respondents had annual income between the range of N100,001- N150,000, while 21.7% had annual income ranging between N200,001- N250,000 and N50,000- N100,000 respectively. The result showed that all of the respondents (100.0%) of the farmers engaged in tomato farming had no access to extension contact.Results also revealed that majority (70.0%) of the respondents had farm sizes ranging from 1-2 hectares. The results of the multiple regression analysis revealed that the value of the multiple regressions co-efficient (R2) was found to be 0.896, implying that the regression model accounted for about 89% of none zero variations in the study.The research work concluded by advocating the establishment of financial institutions in each local government headquarters of Nasarawa State for easy accessibility to loan by farmers.
Monetary Policy Shocks and Agricultural Output Growth in Nigeriaiosrjce
This paper investigated the transmission channel of monetary policy shocks to agricultural output
growth over the period 1970 – 2012. Data were drawn from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin,
2013. The study estimated a VAR model and showed that producers are able to effectively transfer increases in
cost of production to the final consumer through increased prices; and that though monetary policy shocks,
interest rate and consumer prices have dominant impacts on agricultural output growth in Nigeria, but that
monetary policy shocks transmitted through the interest rate channel are more effective. It was therefore
recommended that monetary policy efforts to revitalize the agricultural sector should focus more on the use of
differential interest rates amongst other policy tools.

Empirical Assessment of the Nexus between Industrialization and Economic Grow...ijtsrd
The study examined the relationship between industrialization and the level of economic growth among nations in Africa from year 2013 to 2019. The study categorized African nations into five top industrialized nations and five least industrialized nations. Economic growth was proxy using Gross Domestic Product GDP and Per capita Gross Domestic Product GDP . Time series data on national GDP, population and level of industrialization were obtained from International Monetary Fund statistical data, the Worldometer and United Nation Industrial Development Organization UNIDO . By deploying the correlation statistics and t test aided by SPSS version 20, the study tested if there was any significant relationship between the mean GDP of the top five industrialized nations and the mean GDP of the least five industrialized nations. It further tested if there was any significance relation between the mean per capita GDP of the top five industrialized nations and the mean per capita GDP of the least five industrialized nations. Findings showed a high correlation between the mean GDP of the top five industrialized nations and the mean GDP of the least five industrialized nations. Again it was found that there is significance relationship between the mean per capita GDP of the top five industrialized nations and the mean per capita GDP of the least five industrialized nations. As both GDP and per capita GDP of both industrialized and least industrialized nations move in the same direction regardless of the level of industrialization, the study concluded that industrialization is yet to a significant relationship between GDP and per capita GDP of African nations. It was recommended, among other things, that African nations should make and implement policies that will unlock the effect of industrialization on the level of their GDPs and per capita GDPs.

Impact of Commercial Banking on Nigeria Industrial Sectorijtsrd
This study examines the impact of commercial banking on Nigeria industrial sector using secondary data covering the period of 1980 2018 that were obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria. The model's estimates were estimated via multiple econometric model of the ordinary least square to determine the effect of commercial bank credit to industrial sector, inflation, infrastructure, exchange rate, interest rate, labour force and bank capital on industrial sector proxied by industrial output. The results show that commercial bank credits to industrial sector, infrastructure, inflation, labour and bank capital have a positive impact on industrial sector while exchange rate has a negative impact on industrial sector but conforms to the a priori expectation. The study also found out that only commercial bank credits to industrial sector and infrastructure were significant in explaining industrial sector growth while other variables used in the study were all found to be non significant in explaining the growth rate of the industrial sector. The study concludes that adequate commercial banks credit intermediation in the industrial sector and government expenditure on the needed infrastructure will enhance the sector performance.

Exchange Rate Deregulation and Nigeria’s Industrial Output (1970-2015)AJHSSR Journal
The study examined the effect of exchange rate deregulation on the industrial output of Nigeria
over the period 1970 – 2015. Data for the study comprising Nigeria‟s Industrial Sector‟s Output, Exchange Rate,
Capacity Utilization and Inflation Rate were sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin
2015 edition. The data were analyzed using Error Correction Model and Ordinary Least Squares technique. The
result of the analysis revealed that exchange rate deregulation impacted positively and significantly on Industrial
output over the long run period. The dummy variable, which was introduced in the data to segment pre-SAP and
post-SAP periods also showed that exchange rate deregulation was beneficial to the industrial sector. In
conclusion, the study recommended that exchange rate should continue to be deregulated and closely monitored
to discourage rent-seekers and price arbitrage. Also, the government should support export-led growth,
particularly in provision of incentives and soft loans to aid in the export of locally produced industrial outputs.
In addition, government should create a favorable and enabling environment for production such as constant
supply of electricity and good road networks.
Macroeconomic Variables and Manufacturing Sector Output in Nigeriaijtsrd
Management of macroencomic variables has been noted as instrumental to a well performing manufacturing sector. This study thus examined the effect of macroencomic variables on the manufacturing sector in Nigeria within a liberalised economic era of 1986 to 2018. The Autoregressive Distributive Lag model was employed for data analysis. The results revealed that macroeconomic variables has 93 significant short run policy effect but no significant long run effects on manufacturing sector output in Nigeria. The endogenous dynamics of manufacturing sector previous year outputs exerted a significance influence on the macroeconomic variables long run relationship effect on current year. The explanatory variables suggested that money supply M2 , interest rate INTR and credit to private sector CPS exerted positive effects on manufacturing sector output at short term trends. The study thus posits that macroeconomic variables have varying levels of effects on the manufacturing sectors of Nigerian economy. The monetary authority should employ the monetary policy stance in a pattern that increases money supply in order to boost investment in manufacturing sector which would eventual bring about improved output to Nigeria.

Analyzing the Effect of Government Expenditure on Inflation Rate in Nigeria 1...ijtsrd
Nigeria is a developing economy with active participation of the federal government in various economic sectors not only to promote economic growth and development but also to instill fiscal and economic discipline in the economy. Government participation in the economy means greater funding of economic activities and this is expected to impact on economic indicators. This study analyses the effect of government expenditure on inflation rate in Nigeria within a period of 39 years spanning 1981 2019 . The study specifically seek to ascertain, determine, explore and assess the extent to which government expenditures on key sectors of agriculture, education, health and telecommunications respectively affect inflation rate in Nigeria. In line with the specific objectives of this study, four research questions are raised and four hypotheses duly formulated. Data used for this study were collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN Statistical Bulletin. Government Expenditure on Agriculture GOA , Government Expenditure on Education GOE , Government Expenditure on Health GOH and Government Expenditure on Telecommunication GOT are the independent variables while inflation rate INF is the dependent variable. Descriptive statistics, diagnostic test employing the Augmented Dickey Fuller and a multivariate regression based on Johanson Cointegration and Error Correction Model ECM are used to analyze the data. Our findings indicate that government expenditures on education and agriculture have positive but insignificant effect on inflation rate and on the other hand, government expenditure on health and government expenditure on telecommunications have positive and significant effect on inflation rate. Based on our findings, the study recommends that government should increase its allocation to the health and education sectors to trigger increased skills and healthcare of economic operators for enhanced human capital development and economic productivity. Government should also provide adequate infrastructures to facilitate economic growth and reduce high inflation rate.

Government Capital Expenditure and Manufacturing Sector Output in Nigeriaijtsrd
The study explored the effect of government capital expenditure on manufacturing sector output in Nigeria using time series data from 1981 to 2018. The manufacturing sector output taken as the total volume of inflation adjusted value of output produced by all the manufacturing industries was the dependent variable. The government capital expenditure was disaggregated into four functional expenses as capital expenditures on the road, health, communication, and power electricity . The annual time series data employed were analysed for unit roots using the augmented Dickey Fuller ADF , and regression techniques based on the Autoregressive Distributive Lag ARDL to determine the relationships. The findings revealed that capital expenditure on road infrastructure has a short run positive significant effect on manufacturing sector output, but an insignificant adverse impact on manufacturing sector output in Nigeria capital expenditure on health has significant impacts on the manufacturing sector output in Nigeria driving at negative in the short run and then positive in the long run capital expenditure on telecommunication has a significant positive impact on manufacturing sector output in Nigeria both in the long run and short run whereas capital expenditure on the power supply has an insignificant negative effect in long and short periods. The study hence recommended increased expenditure on road, health, electricity and telecommunication to boost the manufacturing sector propensity for growth and productivity.

Exploratory Model of the Impact of Agriculture on Nigerian Economyijtsrd
This paper explored four models in determining the impact of four agricultural sub-sectors of on the Nigerian GDP. The data is on the contribution of four different sub-sectors of agriculture on Nigerian Economy and was obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin. The findings revealed that ridge regression and PCR are good regression estimation methods for predicting GDP. From the models there is strong indication that fish production in Nigeria is too insufficient to sustain her ever increasing population and improve her economy. Also, the ever increasing demand for fish by Nigerians due to high cost of meat in the market is clearly shown in the models and this stands to say that a lot need to be done to improve fish production in Nigeria to ensure sustainable growth and development.

Challenges and Prospects of Agribusiness in Nigeria The Missing Linkijtsrd
For about three decades, the Nigerian government had initiated many policies and programs aimed at restoring the agricultural sector to its prominent position in the economy. However, various efforts to encourage investment and export diversification in the agricultural sector have not yielded favorable results. Great potential for investments and export diversification to generate higher economic growth remained untapped, as a result of challenges in the agricultural sector which have to be nipped in the bud. Therefore, this study identified these challenges and made recommendations to be implemented to remove these limitations in order to accelerate the achievement of economic growth and sustainable development in the country. The identified challenges or limitations consist of marketing problems, infrastructure deficiencies and unstable input and output prices. Measures to lift restrictions must include improvements in downstream commodity activities, environmental management, increased financing and efficiency in agricultural spending. The government should wake up and invest in infrastructure, and such investment must ensure infrastructure development in both urban and rural areas. Dr. Chibike Onyije Nwuba | Chukwunonso Chukwudi Okoli "Challenges and Prospects of Agribusiness in Nigeria: The Missing Link" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-6 | Issue-5 , August 2022, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd50510.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/management/marketing/50510/challenges-and-prospects-of-agribusiness-in-nigeria-the-missing-link/dr-chibike-onyije-nwuba

This research work examined the impact of Agriculture output on Economic Growth in Nigeria, with the objective of determining the relationship between the Agricultural sector and the Economic Growth rates in Nigeria. Thus, the research was aimed at examining the contributions of agriculture (value added) to the growth of the national economy, investigating government expenditure on agriculture in Nigeria, and determining the contributions of crop production from agriculture on the Nigerian economy. Data were collected from the World Bank Data base and CBN statistical bulletin. Co-Integration and Vector Error correction model techniques were employed as well as the Granger Causality test to determine the causality relationship between Agriculture and Economic Growth. As a result of the data collected, analyzed and interpreted, the research found that Agriculture has positive and long run impact on Economic Growth in Nigeria. The paper recommends amongst many other things that the Government of Nigeria should put in more efforts to diversify the Nigerian economy as the Nigerian agricultural sector currently suffers a lot of marginalization which has not enabled it to contribute more significantly as it should.
In order to improve the utilization of fishery, used as accessibility of food and exported to increase competitiveness, it is necessary to know potential of fishery in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to analyze the potential of fishery in Indonesia based on the export intensity, output, sector concentration, labor, and the farmers exchange rate of the fishery. The method used in this study is descriptive quantitative research methods with a mathematical approach. Based on potential of fishery in Indonesia, there are four province which have potential in the development of output and export intensity of fishery in Indonesia, there are: South Sulawesi, East Java, Lampung and North Sumatra Province. The provinces can be used as a pilot area development of output and export intensity of fishery in other provinces in Indonesia
This study sets to assess the effect of government intervention on economic development adopting Songhai Development Initiative Farm in Rivers State of Nigeria as a case study. It adopted the survey design with the instruments of personal observations, interviews and questionnaires to collect the required data. The data has internal consistency of 0.87, test-retest reliability of 0.85 (p < 0.001), split-half reliability of 0.82 (p < 0.001). The mean of 3 points was chosen as a cut off point for accepting or rejecting each of the items in the Likert’s scale. The Chi-square was also used to test the hypothesis. All items have mean (X ̅) that are higher than the cut-off mark and this is supported by low standard deviation for all the items which depicts a low variation of the observations from the mean. With the calculated Chi-square greater than the table value (i.e 30.34957 > 21.026) in absolute term, the study concludes that there is a significant relationship between Songhai Development Initiative Farm and the economic development. It, therefore, recommended that such and similar government direct involvements in the agricultural and other sectors should be encouraged for optimum benefits in output, job creation, income, social welfare and technological advancement.
EFFECTS OF FOREIGN TRADE ON AGRICULTURAL OUTPUT IN NIGERIA (1981-2018) IAEME Publication
The current study examined the impact of foreign trade on agricultural output in
Nigeria based on data sourced from 1981 to 2018 by employing a number of
estimation techniques such as Cobb-Douglas, unit root testing, autoregressive
distributed lag among others within the context of two profound theories of exchange
rate - the vent – for surplus theory of international trade; factor endowments theory.
Our study observed that foreign trade exerts negatively on agricultural output. Our
results have some empirical implications.
Government Expenditure and Economic Growth Nexus: Empirical Evidence from Nig...iosrjce
This study has examined the impact of public expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria using time
series data for the period 1970-2012. Secondary data were sourced from the CBN, NBS, journals, text books
etc. The adopted model was fitted with three variables: real GDP, capital and recurrent expenditure. The tools
of analysis were the ADF unit root test and ordinary least square multiple regression accompanied by pairwise
Granger causality test. The major objective of this study is to analyse the impact as well as direction of
causality between the fiscal variables and economic growth. All the variables included in the model are
stationary at level. Empirical findings from the study show that there is positive and insignificant relationship
between capital expenditure and economic growth while recurrent expenditure had a significant positive impact
on economic growth. Also, Granger causality test demonstrates a unidirectional causality running from the
fiscal variables to economic growth in validation of the Keynesian theory. Consequently, the study
recommended more allocation of resources for recurrent purposes as well; government should establish the
body that will monitor contract awarding process of capital projects closely, to guard against over estimation of
project cost and stealing of public funds.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Abstract: This study aimed at investigating the impact of the agricultural and industrial sector on the overall
economic development of the Nigeria using secondary data from 1981 – 2012. A multiple regression approach
was used for the estimation. To determine the stability of the time series data used in the study, Augmented
Dickey–Fuller (ADF) and Philips–Perron (pp) unit root tests were adopted. The empirical results show
cointegration relations among Real GDP per capita (RGDPP), Agricultural contribution to RGDPP (ARG),
Industrial contribution to RGDPP (IND), Interest rate (INT) and Inflation rate (IFL) in the period under
investigation. Agricultural and industrial contributions to RGDPP are significant variables explaining
economic development in Nigeria. The overall result of the analysis indicates that these sectors have significant
positive effect on economic development of Nigeria both in the short-run and in the long-run. This research
therefore suggest that there is need for government and the private investors to focus their attention on these
sectors to boost the economy of the nation and efforts must be made to diversified the economy and focus should
be shifted away from export of crude oil only and more effort should be concentrated on agricultural and
industrial development. This would translate to meaningful development in these sectors which will trickle down
to create employment opportunities, enhance productivity and increase agricultural production for exports.
Keywords: Agricultural sector, industrial sectors, multiple regression, cointegration, economic development,

I. Introduction
Economic development is one of the major concerns of every nation of the world particularly for
developing economies and the agricultural and industrial sector has been viewed to play an imperative and
supportive role in the process of economic development. According to Ijieh (2014), the capacity of the
agricultural and industrial sector in generating additional revenue and reducing unemployment is the reason why
these sectors are highly imperative. Most countries that have attained some heights of development still put
policies in place, in an effort to harness the potentials of these sectors, so as to realize their development
prospect.
Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa, with Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of about $510Billion
(NBS, 2014). The country is endowed with abundant natural and human resources and has highly diversified
agro-ecological conditions. Nigeria’s economic aspirations have remained that of altering the structure of
production and consumption patterns, diversifying the economic base and reducing dependence on crude oil,
with the aim of putting the economy on a path of sustainable, all-inclusive and non-inflationary growth to bring
about national economic development (Sanusi, 2010).
However over the years, both the agricultural and industrial sectors have suffered from negligence,
inconsistent and poor government policy design and implementation and likewise lack of basic infrastructure.
To buttress this point, Sekumade (2009) observe that Nigeria is no longer a major exporter of cocoa, groundnut,
rubber and palm products and that the share of agricultural products in total exports has steadily declined from
over 70% in 1960 to less than 2% in recent times. Sequel to this backdrop, agriculture has not kept up with the
rapid population growth in the nation and Nigeria, a once large net exporter of food now imports most of its
food requirements.
Similarly in the industrial sector, despite the various policies that were put in place to pursue
industrialisation with the hope of transforming the economy from a mono-cultural, inefficient and import-
dependent one to a more dynamic and export-oriented economy, has yielded no tangible result (Adeoye, 2005).
As shown by (Banjoko, 2002), the productive sector is in crisis as its average contribution to the nation’s Gross
Domestic Product over the past few years has not gone beyond 5%. Many years of neglect and
maladministration on the part of successive military and civilian governments, coupled with corruption and
indiscriminate policy reversals have all conspired to render the manufacturing sector comatose.

Worthy of note is the fact that in spite of the huge resource flowing from the oil sector of the economy,
the economy is yet to achieve meaningful development. This is a pointer to the need for diversification of the
production base of the Nigerian economy, particularly the agricultural and industrial sector (Onakoya, 2013).
Following the monetary theory framework, low interest rate alongside macroeconomic stability in the economy,
plays a key role in channeling funds towards the target sector(s) of any economy, by attracting potential
investors to borrow funds and make investment in the desired sector. According to (Ismail et al., 2013), the
monetary policy in Nigeria has focused on two major goals in the economy; they are price stability and external
balance. Achieving external balance through trade means that exports should exceed import, thus to promote
export there is need to diversify the economy away from oil.
There are indeed an extensive number of researches on the impact/role of the agricultural or industrial
sector’s growth on the development of any economy. Amongst them includes Hye (2009), who using the Auto-
Regressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL), found that there is a bi-directional long run relationship between
agriculture and the industrial output in Pakistan. Using the input-output framework, Saikia (2011) investigates
the inter-sectoral linkages among three of the major sectors of the Indian economy (agriculture, industry and
service). The findings reveal strong inter connectivity. A similar study in India by Bordoloi et al. (2009) using
both input-output approach and econometric cointegration and state-space models shows that primary,
secondary and tertiary sectors exhibit strong long-run equilibrium relationship amongst each other. Hence, their
studies suggest that agriculture and industry should be the target sectors for a country’s development.
This study therefore aims at investigating the impact of the agricultural and industrial sector on the
overall economic development of the Nigeria using secondary data for a period of thirty-two years (1981 –
2012). The theoretical framework for this study will be anchored on the Doctrine of Balanced Growth, which
was developed by Lewis (1954). The doctrine of balanced growth emphasized that there should be proper
balance between investment(s) in the agricultural sector and industrial sector as agriculture and industry are
complementary. Increase of output in the industrial sector requires expansion of agricultural output. If
employment increases in the industrial sector, it will lead to increase in demand for agricultural output. Supplies
of raw material for example should rise with the expansion of the industrial sector. Since the Doctrine of balance
Growth has several authors such as Rosenstein-Rodan, Ragner Nurkse, and Arthur Lewis, some balanced
growth theory simply means “investing in the lagged sector(s) of the economy or selected sectors of the
economy, while to others it is investing simultaneously in all sectors of the economy”.
Balanced growth requires that there should be a balance between the demand and supply sides. The
supply side lays emphasis on the simultaneous development of all inter-related sectors which help in increasing
the supply of goods. This includes areas such as agriculture, power, transport, raw material and so on. The
demand side relates to the provision for larger employment opportunities and increasing incomes so that demand
for goods and services may rise on the part of the people. The demand side relates to the supplementary
industries, consumer goods industries, especially agriculture and manufacturing industries. With the
simultaneous setting up of all types of industries, large numbers of people are employed and they create demand
for each other’s goods (Onakoya, 2013).
II. Materials And Methods
Data Sources and Description
The data used for this study were secondary data (time series) that covers a period of thirty-two (32)
years, that is, from 1981 to 2012. On the basis of the literature reviewed and theoretical framework, economic
development is a function of so many factors amongst them are agricultural and industrial growth,
macroeconomic stability, exchange rate stability, capital accumulation, rate of interest, high literacy rate and so
on. In the light of this, the dependent variable is captured by Real Gross Domestic Product Per Capita (RGDPP).
Although the issue of development has been debated over time especially on the way it is measured, since
RGDP per capita captures the standard of living in a country and the standard of living in turn is determined by
the level of the country’s development, it is on this basis that RGDPP is taken as a proxy for development, as
employed by (Nwankwo and Njogo, 2013), while the independent variables includes agricultural growth and
industrial growth (proxy by agricultural contribution to real GDP and industrial contribution to real GDP),
macroeconomic instability is proxied by inflation rate, computed as annual percentage change in the consumer
price index following Mazhar and Natalia (2011) and Oni (2012), interest rate is proxied by prime lending rate
to examine the effect of institutional framework and government expenditure in providing infrastructural
facilities (such as low interest rate) that will attract investors (Obasan and Adediran, 2010) and inflation rate.
Model Specification and Estimation Procedure
On the basis of the literature reviewed and the theoretical framework as earlier noted, the economic
development model is specified and presented as follows.
RGDPP = β0 + β1ARG + β2IND + β3INT + β4IFL + μ……………. (1)
3. The Impact of Agricultural and Industrial Sectors on Economic Development in Nigeria
DOI: 10.9790/5933-06617381 www.iosrjournals.org 75 | Page
Where
RGDPP= Real GDP per capita
ARG = Agricultural contribution to RGDPP
IND = Industrial contribution to RGDPP
INT = Interest rate
IFL =Inflation rate
μ = Stochastic error term.
To estimate the above equation, the unit root properties of the variables were tested for using the Augmented
Dickey Fuller (ADF) and Phillips-Perron (PP) tests. The choice of the two test types is to ensure accuracy and
consistency. According to Hamilton (1994) as cited by Martins (2014), the PP unit root test is generally
considered more reliable than the ADF in the mist of serial correlation and heteroscedasticity. Hence the ADF
and PP test for unit root of the variable such as RGDPP is implemented using the following specification:
t
p
i
ttt TRGDPP
0
1110 )1( …………….. (2)
ttt YTRGDPP 10 )1( …………………… (3)
Where RGDPPt is the variable of interest, α
0
is the intercept, T is a linear time trend, Δ is the first difference
operator and ε
t
is the error term with zero mean and constant variance. Following the unit root tests is the test for
cointegration by means of Johansen and Julius (1990) framework, after which if a long-run relationship is found
among the variables, the cointegrating equation is examined. If cointegration is being detected between series, it
implies there existed a long-term equilibrium relationship between them, and thus the Error Correction Model
(ECM) is applied in order to evaluate the short run properties of the cointegrated series. The regression equation
form for the ECM is as follows:
11
1 1
110
tt
n
i
n
i
itiitit UECMXYY ………. (4)
From the ECM equation above, Yt represent the dependent variable, Xt are the independent variables and Δ is
the difference operator.
The ECM approach is valuable in that the ECM has cointegration relations built into the specification so that it
restricts the long-run behaviour of the endogenous variables to converge to their cointegrating relationships
while allowing for short-run adjustment dynamics.
Diagnostic test were consequently conducted on all the estimated models, that is, goodness-of-fit, the joint
significance of estimated coefficients, the serial correlation, heteroscedasticity, normality of residuals and
specification error test. To determine the stability of the estimated coefficients, the cumulative sum of recursive
(CUSUM) and cumulative sum of squares of recursive residuals (CUSUMSQ) tests were also implemented.

Table 1 shows that the results of the unit root tests with intercept and trend tend to be consistent for
both test types. Table 1 also indicated that RGDPP, AGR, IND, INT and IFL are stationary at first difference.
Consequently, the hypothesis of non-stationarity cannot be rejected for the variables at levels.
However, sequel to the result of the stability properties of variables carried out, a test of cointegration is
warranted in that the rejection of the null hypothesis of no cointegration implies that using the variables in their
level form is appropriate for estimation.

The lag length criteria are as shown in Table 2. From table 2, almost all the lag length selection criteria
suggest 1 lag length, except the Akaike information criteria (AIC). From the above result a maximum of 1 lag
was used in the appropriate test such as test of cointegration in the study.
However, sequel to the result of the stability properties of variables carried out, a test of cointegration
is warranted in that the rejection of the null hypothesis of no cointegration implies that using the variables in
their level form is appropriate for estimation.

*(**) denotes rejection of the hypothesis at the 5% (1%) level. The trace eigenvalue test and max eigenvalue test
indicate 2 cointegrating equations at 5%. But at 1% the trace eigenvalues test indicates 2 cointegrating equations
while maximum eigenvalue test indicate 1 cointegrating equation.
The results in Table 3 suggest that there is a longrun equilibrium relationship among the variables
employed in the study, since the trace eigenvalue test and max eigenvalue test indicate 2 cointegrating equations
at 5% while at 1% level of significance, the trace eigenvalues test indicates 2 cointegrating equations and
maximum eigenvalue test indicate 1 cointegrating equation. Following Koutsoyianis (1997), in cases where the
result of the trace statistic and max Eigen value differs, the maximum Eigen-value result is usually preferred. It
is on the basis of this we therefore choose λmax statistic result over λtrace statistics result.
Following the existence of long-term equilibrium relationship among non-stationary variables and
which disqualifies spurious regression when the variables are used at levels for estimation purposes, the choice
of the Error Correction Model framework is appropriate. The estimated ECM results are presented in Table 4.

Results from Table 4 and Table 5 indicates that the estimated coefficient of agricultural sectoral
contribution to RGDPP in the short-run and long-run are all positively related to Nigeria’s economic
development and statistically significant at 1% and 5% level of significance respectively. The positive sign
shows that both in the short run and long run, the agricultural sector plays a very crucial role in the
developmental process of the nation’s economy. Holding other variables constant, 1% increase in agricultural
growth will increase RGDPP by 0.42% in the short-run and 0.10% in the long-run. This result is not surprising,
as agriculture have and is still the main stay of the Nigerian economy. The result also follows the theoretical
underpinning that agricultural development should be the basis of economic development in a developing
country like Nigeria, though its development has been since neglected since the oil boom. This result shows the
need for government and the private investors to focus their attention on this sector to boost the economy of the
nation and efforts must be made to ensure that government expenditure in the agricultural sector is improved as
well as efficiently managed, so that it could translate to meaningful development in the sector which will trickle
down to create employment opportunities, enhance productivity and increase agricultural production for exports.
This result is in line with the findings of Aminu and Anono (2012), who found out that agriculture poses a
positive impact on the economic development of Nigeria.

Table 4 and Table 5 also show that the relationship between industrial growth and economic
development is positive and statistically significant at 1% level of significance both in the long run and in the
short-run. It is therefore expected that increase in industrial activities particularly manufacturing is expected to
improve the general economic condition of the country. The industrial sector is made up of the oil and non-oil
sector and the oil sector is the dominant sector and major income earner in the economy, but the oil sector in
Nigeria as is well known is an enclave economy whose contribution to the national economy largely depends on
the external sector demands. A drastic fall in the international demand (and price) of oil brings about a huge
shock in the national economy. It is therefore not surprising that despite the huge resources flowing from this
sector, the macroeconomic problems of unemployment, poverty and inflation have been persistent in the
Nigerian economy (Akeem, 2013).
6. The Impact of Agricultural and Industrial Sectors on Economic Development in Nigeria
DOI: 10.9790/5933-06617381 www.iosrjournals.org 78 | Page
This is the more reason why increase in industrial activities should be channeled towards
manufacturing. Over the years, the manufacturing sector in Nigeria has suffered a variety of constraint ranging
from policy summersaults, relatively high inflationary trends, inadequate energy, all of which culminate in the
increase in production costs, making domestic products less competitive in the international market (Anyanwu,
2000). In quantitative terms however, 1% increase in industrial activities will translate to 0.33% and 0.27%
increase in RGDPP of the economy both in the long-run and short-run respectively. This result agrees with the
result of the findings of Obasan and Adediran (2010), who ascertain that there is a strong and positive impact of
the industrial sector on economic development.
As interest rate increases by 1% it will lead to 0.047% increase in RGDPP in the short run, but in the
long-run, an increment of 1% will lead to a fall in RGDPP by 0.01%. Although, an increase in interest rate is
expected to reduce RGDPP, but this appears not to be the case in the short-run, because in the short-run the
interest rate coefficient is not only statistically significant, but positive. This is not surprising given the nature
and structure of production in Nigeria which is dominated by one commodity (oil) and largely dictated by
external forces (Martins and Muftau, 2014). The interest rate coefficient in the long-run follows theoretical
expectation of inverse relationship to RGDPP, but not statistically significant in the long-run. This result tends
to support the empirical findings of Ismail et al. (2013) in which the interest rate was insignificant in explaining
the influence of monetary policy in Nigeria’s economy growth. One possible reason for this is the inactive and
ineffectiveness of the monetary policy as a policy option in influencing the workings of the economy. The
Nigeria monetary authority uses the selective credit control instrument of monetary policy to channel
commercial bank’s lending’s to specific sectors of the economy particularly to the productive sectors. But even
at that, the farmers and small scale business operators do not have access to these funds due to some reasons,
among which is the required collateral to obtain the loans and the bureaucratic process involved in accessing the
loans (Ubah, 2008).
The estimated coefficient of inflation shows a statistically significant negative relationship in the short-
run. This result is consistent with literature and theory. Holding other variables constant 1% increase in inflation
will lead to -0.01% decrease in RGDPP in the short-run, which can be adduce to the fact that the structure of the
Nigerian economy is generally monoculture. In the long-run however, the coefficient of inflation follows
theoretical apriori expectation but not statistically significant. A 1% increase in inflation rate will lead to -
0.003% decrease in RGDPP. It is expected that the diversification of the economy away from oil and the
development of the agricultural and industrial bases of the economy in the long-run will generate employment,
increase aggregate income and aggregate demand. This result is consistent with the result obtained from the
findings of Ismail et al. (2013).
Table 5 presents the results of the Error Correction Model. An examination of all the variables shows
that they are correctly signed except interest rate. All the variables are highly statistically significant at either 1,
5 and 10 percent level. The implication of this is that economic development in Nigeria is highly responsive to
changes in agricultural and industrial output, inflation and interest rate.
As expected, the coefficient of the error correction model (ECM) mechanism is negative and is
statistically significant, judging by its value of -0.79. It indicates that a deviation in development from
equilibrium is corrected by as much as 79 percent the following year. In other words, the system corrects its
previous period disequilibrium at a speed of approximately 79 percent annually.
Diagnostic Statistics: The diagnostic tests for the long-run estimates are satisfactory. The adjusted R2
is 0.98,
implying that 98 percent of variation in economic development is explained by the explanatory variables. Thus,
the goodness-of-fit captured in the adjusted coefficients of determination shows that the estimated model has a
high predictive capacity. The F-statistic is statistically significant, as indicated by the p-value of 0.0000,
showing joint significance of estimated coefficients. The p-value of the Jaque-Bera (JB) statistics is reasonably
high, which case we do not reject the normality assumption. The Breush-Godfrey (BG) serial correlation LM
test for autocorrelation is satisfactory, as the statistics shows acceptance of the null hypothesis of no serial
autocorrelation. The ARCH heteroscedasticity results suggest that the null hypothesis of homoscedasticity is
accepted. The regression specification error test as captured by the Ramsey RESET is quite satisfactory as F-
statistic is not statistically significant, indicated that the model is correctly specified.
The diagnostic statistics for the short term are satisfactory. The overall fit of the estimated ECM is
adequate. The adjusted R2
value of 0.84 shows that the independent variables employed in the model jointly
accounted for 84 percent of the total variation in development. All the variables are jointly statistically
significant, as indicated by the F-statistic. The model satisfies the diagnostic BG serial correlation LM test. The
JB statistic is 0.2841 (0.8675) while the probability of obtaining the value, on the basis of the normality
assumption, is 30 percent, implying that we cannot reject the null hypothesis of normality distributed error term.

The BG statistics indicates absence of serial autocorrelation. The null hypothesis of heteroscedasticity is rejected
at the 1 percent level of significance, as the computed chi-square value is lower than the related tabulated value
at the appropriate degree of freedom. In addition, the Ramsey RESET statistics indicates that the model is
correctly specified.
Test for Stability of Coefficients: In order to determine the stability of the estimated coefficients of the models
for Nigeria, the cumulative sum of recursive residuals (CUSUM) and cumulative sum of recursive residuals
square (CUSUMSQ) tests were applied to the residual generated. The CUSUM and CUSUMSQ tests are shown
in Figure 1 and 2 below. The result shows that the CUSUMSQ plot lies within the 5% error band, implying that
the stability of estimated coefficients of the economic development for Nigeria exists over the entire sample
period.

IV. Conclusion
From the findings of this research, agricultural and industrial growth (which is in line with theory)
provides opportunities for economic development. It is therefore expected that with the development in the
agriculture and industrial sector, job opportunities will be created, leading to the generation of income and hence
alleviation of poverty. On the aggregate level, it is a source of foreign exchange when the products are exported.
Conclusively, the overall result of the analysis indicates that these sectors have significant positive effect on
economic development of Nigeria both in the short-run and in the long-run. The economy should therefore be
diversified and focus should be shifted away from export of crude oil only and more effort should be
concentrated on agricultural and industrial development. The growth of these sectors can be encouraged if the
Government addresses the critical constraint and challenges facing agricultural and industrial production with
particular emphasis on the use of improved technology (capital machineries) for production. Also, consistent
agriculture and industrial policy and macroeconomic stability are necessary for prediction of changes in
agricultural and industrial activities.
