ON THE CAUSAL LINKS BETWEEN FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN NIGERIA, 1970-2008: AN APPLICATION OF GRANGER CAUSLITY AND CO-INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Statistica - Year 2010, Vol 58, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper examines the causal links between foreign direct investment and economic growth in Nigeria during the period 1970-2008. The authors employed the Granger causality and Johansen co-integration techniques to analyze the relationship and direction of causality between the variables. The Johansen co-integration statistic indicates that the variables are co-integrated, and the granger causality statistic reveals a unidirectional causality running from foreign direct investment to economic growth.
