The relationship between web based environmental disclosure and value of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria was empirically examined. To determine the relationship between web based environmental disclosure (WED) and firm value, web based environment disclosure was measured using a dichotomous procedure adopted from GRI while firm value on the hand was proxy using price to book value (PBV). The study adopted Ex Post Facto Design and data were collected from the annual reports and accounts of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria for the period ended; 2014-2021. The study used panel least square model as a statistical test tool. The findings of the study show that web based environmental disclosure (WED) has significant and positive effect on value (PBV) of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria at 1% significant level. Thus, the study concludes that web based environmental disclosure ensures firms’ value in Nigeria. Based on this, the study recommended that corporate environmental resource recycling cost should be decreased for better environmental protection which ensures firms value.

The need for adopting resource management became germane because of challenges such as poor capacity planning and utilization, inadequate skilled resources which impede organizational performance. This study therefore examined the relationship between resource management on organizational performance of selected Manufacturing industries in south west Nigeria. The specific objectives are to assess the relationship between material resource and organizational performance and to analyze the relationship between human resource and organizational performance .Ex-post facto research design was used for the study. The population consists of employees in 22 manufacturing industries listed in Nigerian Exchange Group between 2011-2020 dealing in Food and Beverages, Breweries, Health care/Pharmaceutical and Conglomerates. The sample size comprises eight manufacturing industries with 750 employees selected using stratified sampling technique. Data was drawn from primary source while descriptive statistics was used to explain the respondents’ characteristics and inferential statistics was used to analyze data collected. There is a significant positive relationship between material resources and organizational performance (R = 0.452**, N = 750, p < 0.01). Also it was found that there is significant positive relationship between human resources and organizational performance (R = 0.432**, N = 750, p <0.01). It was concluded that material resources and human resource increase organizational performance. Finally, it was shown that resource management is crucial for achieving organizational performance. Based on these findings it is recommended that management should put in place resource management policies that utilize inventory control, systems information gathering, that enhance product quality and improve performance.

This study investigated the effect of small and medium scale business financing on the Nigerian economy. The ex-post facto research design was adopted and the dependent and independent variables were observed over the period, 1992 to 2021. The nature of data was secondary, sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. The data were tested using the Eview statistical software adopting the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method on the regression model adopted. The signs and significance of the regression coefficients was relied upon in explaining the nature and influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable as to determine both magnitude and direction of impact. The aprior expectation was that SME financing positively and significantly affect the Nigerian economy. The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 (5%) level of significance. Findings from the study showed that commercial bank loan to small and medium scale enterprises have positive and significant impact on GDP. Similarly, commercial bank loan to private sector has positive and significant impact on GDP. Hence, the study concludes that small and medium scale business financing has positive and significant impact on the Nigerian economy. Hence, it implies that SMEs financing contributes to economic growth in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Central Bank of Nigeria should prioritize financial inclusiveness in the small and medium scale sector of the economy to enhance availability and accessibility of investable funds in the sector.

The study examined the impact of human resource development on employees’ performance from a theoretical perspective. The employee performance components identified are ability to meet deadlines, quality of work, teamwork, and problem solving. While the dimensions of human resource development identified are mentoring, training, performance appraisal, and compensation/benefits. The study notes that a well-coordinated and implemented HRD practices results to improved organizations productivity and individual employees’ performance. The study also notes that implementation of human resource development leads to improved organizational efficiency and development of innovative competitive advantages for organizations. The study concluded that human resource development programmes serves as a critical organizational strategy for improving employees’ effectiveness, productivity, satisfaction, motivation, and innovation at work. In addition, the implementation of effective human resources development programs helps to create the workforce competency that enables the organization to function efficiently. It is recommended that managements should make human resource development a serious aspect of their overall organizational strategy, and also support all activities put in place to develop the employees in order to ensure that employees develop the necessary competencies and capacity needed to drive organizational performance and survival. Furthermore, organizations should constantly train and retrain their employees and management to develop vital conceptual, technical and interpersonal competences that is vital for high positive outcomes in organizations. Organizations should devise effective plans in investing in the various aspect of human capital as this does not only help them to attain greater performance but achieve long-term survival.

This role of foreign trade in driving growth in the domestic economy and boosting the potential of a country to foreign exchange earnings has remained a subject of interest in economic literature, thus provoking investigation into the claim that international trade is growth-enhancing. This study centred on the impact of foreign trade on economic growth. The specific objectives of this study are to explore the effects of net export, exchange rate and government capital expenditure on economic growth. This study covered a period of 35 years (1980-2015) and the source of data for the variables is the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. The error correction model (ECM) was utilized as a technique for data analysis. The Phillips-Perron unit root test shows that the variables are stationary upon first differencing. Thus, the series are integrated of order zero. The Johansen cointegration test result indicates that the variables are cointegrated. Therefore, this reveals that the variables have a long-run relationship. The cointegrating regression result shows that net export has a significant positive impact on economic growth. The exchange rate on the other hand is found to significantly and negatively influence economic growth. The long-run impact of government capital expenditure on economic growth is negative and insignificant. The Wald test for coefficient restrictions shows that net export, exchange rate and government capital expenditure are statistically significant in explaining changes in economic growth. Based on the findings, it is recommended that government should adopt trade policies that promote export and reduce the incidence of importing competing goods to ensure that Nigeria optimizes the benefits that foreign trade creates.

This study examined the effect of the balance of payments on macroeconomic performance in Nigeria between 1981 and 2021. The specific objectives are to determine the effects of current account balance, capital account, and external reserves on the gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate (the proxy of macroeconomic performance). This study employed secondary data sourced from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and the database associated with Chinn and Ito. The study employed the augmented Dickey-Fuller method to examine the stationarity of the series and tested for cointegration among the variables using the bound test. The relationship between the balance of payments component and the gross domestic product growth rate was analysed using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method. The study confirmed the long-run relationship between components of the balance of payments and GDP growth. The ARDL shows that in the long run, current account balances had a positive and significant impact on GDP growth. The capital account proved not to be an effective policy for driving economic growth in the long run. It was found that external reserves had a positive and significant impact on GDP growth in the long run. Based on the findings, this study recommended a blend of export promotion policy and import substitution strategy to improve the balance of payments and create more opportunities for economic growth. Again, policymakers should focus on improving the financial depth and strengthening institutions, all of which support the liberalisation of the capital account and foster economic growth.

This study examined the effect of external debt servicing on economic growth in Nigeria. The specific objectives are to determine the effects of multilateral debt service, total debt service and external debt stocks on gross domestic product (GDP) growth. Time series data required for the investigation were sourced from the World Development Indicators and International Debt Statistics. The data analysis techniques include descriptive statistics, unit root tests, Johansen cointegration test and parsimonious error correction model (ECM) in addition to the post- estimation tests. The unit root results showed that all the variables are stationary at first difference. In other words, this finding revealed that the variables are integrated into order one [I(1)]. Evidence of two cointegrating equations was established from the Johansen cointegration test results, which implies that GDP growth has a long-run relationship with multilateral debt service, total debt service and external debt stocks. The parsimonious ECM showed that multilateral debt service has a negative and significant effect on GDP growth. This implies that an increase in multilateral debt service is detrimental to economic growth. The results further showed that total debt service and external debt stocks negatively and significantly impacted GDP growth. This finding indicates that Nigeria has not productively utilized the growing stocks of foreign loans to enhance its contributions to economic growth. The error correction parameter (-0.432) is negative and significant, which suggests that short-run disequilibrium can adjust to a long-run equilibrium position at a speed of 43.2 per cent. Based on the findings, this study concludes that debt servicing undermines the growth of the Nigerian economy. Thus, it is recommended that among others the government should gradually reduce its debt stock to reduce the total debt service obligations and make more resources available for economic grow
本研究探讨了外债偿还对尼日利亚经济增长的影响。具体目标是确定多边偿债、总偿债和外债存量对国内生产总值（GDP）增长的影响。调查所需的时间序列数据来自《世界发展指标》和《国际债务统计》。数据分析技术包括描述性统计、单位根检验、约翰森协整检验、准误差修正模型（ECM）以及后估计检验。单位根结果显示，所有变量在一阶差分上都是静态的。换句话说，这一结果表明变量是一阶积分[I(1)]。Johansen 协整检验结果表明存在两个协整方程，这意味着 GDP 增长与多边偿债、总偿债和外债存量之间存在长期关系。解析性 ECM 显示，多边偿债对国内生产总值增长有显著的负向影响。这意味着多边还本付息额的增加不利于经济增长。结果还显示，总偿债率和外债存量对国内生产总值的增长有显著的负面影响。这一结果表明，尼日利亚没有有效利用不断增长的外国贷款存量来提高其对经济增长的贡献。误差修正参数（-0.432）为负且显著，这表明短期失衡能够以 43.2% 的速度调整到长期均衡状态。根据研究结果，本研究得出结论认为，偿债损害了尼日利亚经济的增长。因此，除其他外，建议政府逐步减少债务存量，以降低偿债义务总额，为经济增长提供更多资源。

The specific objectives are to determine the effects of multilateral debt service, total debt service and external debt stocks on gross domestic product (GDP) growth. Time series data required for the investigation were sourced from the World Development Indicators and International Debt Statistics. The data analysis techniques include descriptive statistics, unit root tests, Johansen cointegration test and parsimonious error correction model (ECM) in addition to the post- estimation tests. The unit root results showed that all the variables are stationary at first difference. In other words, this finding revealed that the variables are integrated into order one [I(1)]. Evidence of two cointegrating equations was established from the Johansen cointegration test results, which implies that GDP growth has a long-run relationship with multilateral debt service, total debt service and external debt stocks. The parsimonious ECM showed that multilateral debt service has a negative and significant effect on GDP growth. This implies that an increase in multilateral debt service is detrimental to economic growth. The results further showed that total debt service and external debt stocks negatively and significantly impacted GDP growth. This finding indicates that Nigeria has not productively utilized the growing stocks of foreign loans to enhance its contributions to economic growth. The error correction parameter (-0.432) is negative and significant, which suggests that short-run disequilibrium can adjust to a long-run equilibrium position at a speed of 43.2 per cent. Based on the findings, this study concludes that debt servicing undermines the growth of the Nigerian economy. Thus, it is recommended that among others the government should gradually reduce its debt stock to reduce the total debt service obligations and make more resources available for economic grow","PeriodicalId":486962,"journal":{"name":"IIARD INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT","volume":" 28","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139790392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study investigated the effect financial market integration on economic growth in Nigeria over the period of thirty-two years ranging from 1990 to 2021. The study designed and specified a multiple regression model to examine the individual and joint effects of the proxies of financial market integration (trade openness, credit to private sector and government expenditure) on economic growth in Nigeria (measured in Gross Domestic Product). The model was estimated by Ordinary Least Square technique using E-views 12 statistical package. The annual time series data used were collected from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin and analyzed with the aim of achieving the stated objectives. The study found that trade openness, credit to private sector and government expenditures have individual and joint significant effect on economic growth in Nigeria. Based on the findings, the study therefore concluded that the financial market integration plays a significant positive role in the sustenance of growth of the Nigerian economy
