Using quarterly data and Johansen techniques, the study found significant impacts of ICT investment on economic growth. Although other variables have positive impact on economic growth, the results implies that if Nigeria seeks to enhance its economic growth, the country needs to further implement specific policies that facilitate investment in ICT.

The impact and hardships of slow down has also been experienced in the organized retail industry in India. The Retail Industry in India is shaping up differently due to its demography. In India, large numbers of small size retailers are available, which are called traditional retail outlets. The retail market in India is the fifth largest retail destination in the world. The industry is emerging as one of the attraction for investment across the world. As per one survey study it is revealed that consumers spending have been reported increased by 75% in the last four years, which indicates towards future growth of Retail Industry in India. Also in view of Experts, the retail sector is expecting to contribute to 22% of India's GDP by 2010 and will grow to the tune of US$833 billion by 2013. This study is an attempt to understand the current situation of Indian Retail Industry especially organized FMCG Retailing. Knowledge on the latest development in the organized retail industry has also been shared in this paper. The study has also highlighted latest development in organized FMCG Retail Industry. The role of the key factors which can significantly contribute to beat the stiff completion and sustained the growth of organized FMCG retailing, have also been discussed in this paper.

Secondary data was used while the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method and the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator were used for our estimation of short-run and long-run elasticities of price and income for total energy and electricity demand for the OECD. The results showed among others that long-run price and income elasticities for total energy are inelastic. Electricity price was found to be inelastic but income elasticity in the electricity model was elastic. The inelastic nature of long-run price and income elasticities of total energy demand shows that energy consumption in the OECD responds slowly to changes in energy price and income. Based on the findings, a recommendation is for policy makers to concentrate on encouraging energy efficiency as a way to reduce energy and electricity consumption.

Both multinomial logit and simultaneous limited-independent models were estimated using time series data from 1960 to 2000. The study found that when domestic inflation was relatively high with respect to world inflation, a fixed exchange rate regime was preferred. This serves as an anchor. Also, domestic monetary disturbances appreciated the real exchange rate and favoured a more flexible arrangement, while in the presence of real shocks the balance of payments acted as a shock absorber and a fixed regime was more likely.

But, whether or not these increased spending translates into a healthier population has remained an unresolved issue in Nigeria. Using secondary data, this study examines the public health care spending in Nigeria and whether or not these lead to a healthier population. The study finds that despite the increase in most components of health care spending in Nigeria, the health status of the average Nigerian and the condition of health infrastructure has not improved appreciably. Access to good health care has remained basically an elite privilege because health services are yet to be provided in sufficient quality and scope, to meet the needs of the people.

The adoption of user charges in the consumption of public health care services in Nigeria has bee... more The adoption of user charges in the consumption of public health care services in Nigeria has been questioned on many grounds, one of which is, the willingness to pay for these services, especially given the high rate of poverty being experienced in the Nigerian economy. While out-of-pocket expenses dominate in households’ payment for health care services in Nigeria, the proportion of Nigerians living in poverty (both in the rural and urban areas) kept increasing every year as indicated by the incidence of poverty data. This unswerving increase in the poverty rate does influence the households’ ability and willingness to pay these charges in Nigeria. Accordingly, this study, using both primary and secondary data, examined the determinants of households’ willingness to pay for public health care services in Nigeria and evaluate the extent to which these factors affect households’ willingness to pay in both urban and rural areas. The findings show that the willingness to pay increased...

Available data indicates that Nigeria is one of the countries with the highest inflow of migrant remittances which, if well utilized, could lead to the economic transformation of the country. The paper used an error correction model and data from 1977 to 2009 to investigate whether or not migrant remittances have any developments impacts. Specifically, we tested whether or not there a long run relationship between output growth and remittances in Nigeria. The findings indicates that remittances had positive effect on Nigerians per capita income implying that remittances can increase savings, capital accumulation and productivity and output growth.

Secondary data was used while both the ordinary least square (OLS) and generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators were employed to test for causality in our model. Our result found the presence of a bi-directional causality between energy consumption and GDP for the total energy demand model and between electricity consumption and GDP for the electricity demand model. By implication, the bi-directional causality in our estimated models suggest that both energy consumption and GDP are important factors in economic development in the OECD. Thus, if misguided policy measures are made to reduce energy consumption it could have a detrimental effect on GDP which will slow down economic growth. A recommendation is for policy makers to concentrate on encouraging energy efficiency as a way to reduce energy and electricity consumption.

This paper focus on apprenticeship fee, entrepreneurial skill through training and small Scale Enterprises in Nigeria as countries differs so the appropriate solution differs. The technique adopted is ordinary least square method using binary probit model to analyse primarily sourced data. The financial constraint remains of the major problem facing SSE and government at all level need to design programme to address recent economy issues.

Studies on FDI in economic literature have been directed at the macroeconomic effects of FDI on economic growth. As sound as the findings of such studies appear, the growth impacts that FDI flows create on each sector of the economy are, however, masked. Thus this paper, using time-series data for the period 1970-2003 and adopting the ordinary least square technique, investigated the impacts of FDI flows on the outputs of some selected sectors in the Nigerian economy. The parsimonious form of analysis of general-to-specific was applied in the analysis of the model. The results shows that FDI flow was significant to sectoral growth of the mining and quarrying, and the transportation and communication sectors, but was not significant to the growth of the agriculture, forestry, and fishery sector.
