Stock Market Development and Long-Run Growth in Nigeria

Abstract

The study empirically assessed the relationship between stock market development and long-run economic growth in Nigeria for the period 1980 to 2000. The study used secondary data while four models of multiple regressions were specified. The regression results, which were obtained using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS), show that measures of stock market development statistically have no significant effect on economic growth in Nigeria during the period 1980 to 2000. The major implication of the findings is that if the Nigerian Stock Market is to significantly contribute to rapid economic growth, policies must be fashioned out to eliminate those factors that blur the effectiveness of the vehicle or transmission mechanism through which stock market activities influence economic growth.

Based on the findings, it was recommended that there should be an improvement in the attractiveness of the market as a major source of raising capital. This will entail improvement in the physical infrastructure, more efficient share transfer and delivering system and provision of adequate and timely information on the market. Also, there should be improvement in the institutional regulation, environment and legal framework such that a balance is maintained between the soundness and safety of the market. And finally, there is the need to internationalize the stock market to improve the flow of savings. This willgive the market the advantages of risk diversification, improve information flow and encourage corporate control through investment in equity.

区域金融发展与经济增长

金融发展与经济增长关系问题的研究越来越深入。以陕西省为研究对象,侧重于金融发展与经济增长关系的经济基础和关联机制,通过两部门模型,揭示金融发展影响经济增长的两个方式:外部性和部门要素边际生产力差异,陕西省的实证检验结果表明,以银行贷款为测度指标的金融发展与经济长期增长间存在显著的正向关系,金融发展对经济增长存在显著的正外部性。     

高速增长下的发展失衡

本文认为,改革开放以来,我国经济取得举世瞩目的高速增长的主要动力来自于体制创新。体制创新首先通过改变分配关系,打破原有的平衡关系,激励竞争和提高效率,使经济活跃起来。但也应该看到,随着以GDP总量和人均GDP水平反映的经济增长阶段的不断提高,经济和社会发展中的失衡(如地区、城乡、行业和收入分配失衡等)开始显现并逐渐扩大,解决这些失衡是建设和谐社会和可持续发展的基础。文章提出,中国应该从以经济增长为主要发展目标逐渐过渡到在保持经济增长的前提下,使经济增长、经济发展和可持续发展目标有机地结合起来,而从宏观管理上看,需求管理、供给管理和社会综合管理的结合则是这种科学发展的基本保证。     

浅议我国民营银行的发展

国有银行有力地支持了国家经济的增长,但是国家垄断性的金融制度也为此付出了巨大控制成本,导致银行信贷资金配置效率低下。民间金融可以作为金融市场化以后农村地区和中小企业融资的主要渠道。要正确引导、规范和利用民间金融,为民间借贷构筑一个合法的流动平台,规范、约束和保证民间借贷行为,解决国有银行垄断及金融结构的畸形问题,以降低我国金融体系的整体风险。     

Corporate Governance in Nigeria

In recent years, international economic pressures have induced Nigeria to adopt a program of economic liberalization and deregulation. Advocates of the reforms tout their potential not only for generating greater economic growth, but also for contributing to more responsible corporate governance. Sceptics abound. This paper provides an account of the nature of corporate governance in Nigeria and investigates the prospects for recent reforms contributing to more responsible governance and development.

金融发展与经济增长实证研究述评

20世纪90年代以来,众多学者对金融发展和经济增长的关系进行过实证研究。现有的实证研究,无论在计量方法上,还是在计量指标的选择上都存在一定的缺陷。选择更好的计量指标、选择更适合的计量模型、利用产业数据来考察金融发展作用于经济增长的作用机制等是实证研究领域可能的发展方向。     

Business Regulations and Private Domestic Investment in Africa

In this article, the author seeks to complement the perception-based studies by utilizing the objective measures from the Doing Business project to analyze the relationship between business regulations and private domestic investment in Africa. He reports evidence that reforms in business regulations affecting contract enforcement, tax administration, firm entry, labor markets, and the private sector as a whole positively affect private domestic investment in Africa. These findings are important for assisting policy makers in creating a business regulatory environment that promotes domestic private investment and thereby encourages economic growth in Africa.     

政府主导型经济增长下的农村发展

本文试图从分析政府行为的角度来探讨造成农村经济发展相对落后的原因,并通过分析,阐明这样一个事实:无论是在重工业优先发展的赶超战略下,还是在追求经济增长的改革开放后,农村的经济发展事实上被忽视了,这种忽视源于政府在追求经济增长过程中的战略选择。今后,要想实现中国经济的持续、稳定增长,农村的发展应该受到政府更多的“关注”。     

基于金融发展视角下的FDI与经济增长研究综述

众多的决策者与学者相信外商直接投资（FDI）有利于促进东道国的经济增长。但是实证研究结果却表明,FDI的经济增长效应在许多发展中国家却并不明确,主要原因在于FDI效应受到东道国自身环境和条件（即吸收能力）的制约。东道国的金融发展主要通过人力资本效应、技术创新效应、产业关联效应以及市场环境优化效应等机制对FDI与经济增长的关系产生影响。金融发展已经成为东道国FDI效应有效发挥的核心要素。也是未来FDI研究的一个重要的新方向。     

金融发展与经济增长区域差异研究

在分析区域金融发展与区域经济增长关系的基础上,运用面板数据单位根检验、协整检验和误差纠正模型方法,从中观层面上对我国区域经济与金融间互相作用进行计量分析,找出区域间经济增长和金融发展作用关系的差距,剖析区域金融发展与经济增长差异的成因,提出由于经济发展程度不同,区域金融业发展应予区别对待的对策。     

深圳金融发展与经济增长关系分析

利用深圳市金融发展与经济增长1979年至2009年年度数据,本文实证研究了金融相关比率与深圳人均实际经济增长关系,认为人均实际经济增长对金融相关比率的促进作用并不明显,但是金融储蓄结构、金融中介效率与经济增长之间的格兰杰因果关系并不显著。因此,深化深圳金融业发展应该提高金融业资金配置效率,促进金融发展由"供给主导"向"需求遵从"转变。     

Banks,Stock Market Development and Economic Growth in Kenya: An Empirical Investigation

In this paper, we have examined the impact of both bank- and market-based financial development on economic growth in Kenya during the period 1980 to 2012, using the autoregressive distributed lag bounds testing approach. To capture as far as possible the breadth and depth of the Kenyan bank- and market-based financial systems, the study employs the method of means-removed average to construct both bank- and market-based financial development indices from an array of banking sector and stock market variables. The empirical results of this study show that market-based financial development has a positive impact on economic growth in Kenya. However, the results have also shown that bank-based financial development has no impact on economic growth in the study country. These results apply irrespective of whether the regression analysis is conducted in the long run or in the short run. The findings of this study, therefore, lend more support to pro-market-based financial development policies in Kenya.

Financial Development and Economic Growth in Africa

We revisit in this paper the debate between financial development and economic growth. In contrast to previous studies examining banking related measures, we focus on the capital account and the depth of African stock markets. We examine 15 African countries from 1995 to 2010 and employ both static and dynamic panel data methods. While the former suggest weak results overall, portfolio flows and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) have consistently positive effects on economic growth under endogenous stock market capitalization. These findings reinforce the view that African countries should open their equity markets to international investors and encourage FDI.
