Developments In The Retail Prices Of Selected Consumer Items In Lagos Area During The Second Quarter Of 1989, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

The results obtained from the price surveys of selected consumer items in the Lagos Area during the second quarter of 1989, indicated an upward movement in the prices of most of the items sampled. While some items recorded modest price declines below the level in the first quarter of 1989, these declines were not enough to offset the increases noticed in all the component price indices. Most of the traders interviewed during the surveys attributed the increase in prices mainly to rising costs of production inputs, and transportation as well as excess demand pressures on agricultural commodities.

Economic and Financial Review

In terms of ownership, the prosperity accrued mainly to wholly indigenous non-life companies most, as these companies dominated the more lucrative aspects of insurance business in 1987. Another important point in the report is the fact that minimum paid-up capital stipulated in the Insurance …

The Effect Of Government Deficits On Consumption And Interest Rates: A Two Equation Approach, Dean D. Croushore Apr 1989

The Effect Of Government Deficits On Consumption And Interest Rates: A Two Equation Approach, Dean D. Croushore

Economics Faculty Publications

Single-equation estimation of the consumption function often is used in testing the Ricardian equivalence theorem. This approach may be misleading, as effects on interest rates usually are ignored. This paper proposes simultaneous estimation of consumption and investment equations, with the interest rate serving to equilibrate the market. Five existing studies are replicated and subjected to sensitivity tests. The results show that the interest rate is important in the consumption function. The Ricardian equivalence theorem is tested, but the results are mixed.
