Abstract: The study was motivated by the recent emphasis on the need for the Nigerian economy to have a diversified revenue-base, and by the fact that the economy is endowed with vast resources that can make the revitalization of the agricultural sector a reality. Consequently, the research investigated the impact of domestic investment on agricultural productivity in Nigeria, as this area of research seems to have been greatly ignored by researchers. The research employed the Autoregressive Distributed-Lag (ARDL) with cointegrating bounds, and the study covered the period from 1981 to 2018. The findings of the research indicated that the impact of domestic investment, both in human and physical capital, on agricultural productivity in Nigeria was negative and significant. Among others, the study recommended increased domestic investment in the agricultural sector in order to achieve the much desired diversification of the revenue-base of the Nigerian economy.

Abstract: With regard to the microeconomic analysis, the solution provided by Becker on the training and mobility of employees is in terms of the methods of financing training. However, it first distinguishes general training, which can be fully transferred to the market, from specific training, which can be partially exploited in competing firms. The costs of general training must be fully borne by the individual and the costs of specific training must be shared between employer and employee. Then, starting from the training financing conditions, Becker offers a rich analysis of the individual effects of continuing training in terms of salary incidence but also in terms of mobility. Then, it defines the determinants of participation in training. In addition, Becker's model allows us to understand the microeconomic mechanisms of vocational training. The problem of poaching is central in his analysis and leads to several implications for the contexts and effects of continuing vocational training..

Abstract: Background: Volatility is the oscillation in the prices of an asset over a given time span. Volatility has always intrigued researchers for decades and attempts have been made by them to estimate it in order to help all the stakeholders to use it for various grounds. Exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) model is one of the widely used models in prediction process of any variable. Materials and Methods: Present study is an attempt to present a review of literature related to volatility predictions through EWMA in various markets to study the topic in depth. The study would facilitate the reader to know the performance and usage of the model in the asset market volatility. It will act as a guideline to various stakeholders.......

Abstract: In this study, we are interested in the effect of interest rate, credit and exchange rate channels on growth and the level of inflation following monetary policy within the WAEMU. The study was based on a self-regressive model with staggered lags likely to highlight, on the one hand, the extent to which a monetary policy influences inflation and growth, both in the short and in the long term, via the transmission channels. On the other hand, the speed at with a variable returns to its equilibrium level following a monetary policy shock. The results obtained show that the interest rate, credit and exchange rate channels have a positive influence on inflation and growth in the WAEMU. However, their impact on price developments and economic activity is relatively small and is generally only noticeable in the long term.......

Abstract: The companies and the government can raise long term funds from the capital market. The capital market includes stock market and the bond market. The capital includes two types of markets, first one - primary market where new issues are distributed to investors and the second one - secondary market where existing securities are traded. The intension of presenting this paper is to show what is capital, who can provide these capital, whose contribution is large, How they support to our capital market by providing their capital. The laws must be prepared favourable for capital market. If laws are not favourable than FII and FPI can divert their capital to another countries like Singapore, Hong Kong, Brazil, Africa etc. In India FII sold Bond 6910 Million Dollar during 2017-18 due to demonetarisation, rising prise in crude oil and 10% income tax on capital gain unstable government etc. But as soon as market will become stable, FII invest their fund

Abstract: Résumé S'appuyant sur des données réelles, la présente étude établit de manière empirique une relation entre le chômage et l'inflation. L'étude s'étale de 2001 à 2017. Elle procède exclusivement de la méthode économétrique. Elle exploite le modèle autorégressif à retard échelonné. La théorie de Phillips s'en trouve invalidée : une liaison négative ne caractérise pas la relation entre les variables chômage et inflation. Ce résultat milite en faveur de la mise en oeuvre au pays d'une politique économique encore plus efficace pour un cadre macroéconomique réellement stable et un meilleur bien-être collectif.......

Abstract: This study sought to examine the effects and gains of regional integration (EAC) on economic growth in Kenya. Despite the long existence of the East African Community, its contribution to financial integration, trade integration and effect of past per capita GDP on current output levels in EAC, its output has hardly been quantified. This study hence explored the efficacy of the East Africa Regional Integration on Economic growth, mainly looking at the role of financial integration, trade integration and the effects of past Per capita income on economic growth and development in the region. The Harrod-Domar growth model and Solow-Swan model were the key theories anchoring this study. Panel data time series analysis method was used in the in testing of the study objectives. The findings indicated that Financial integration in East African Community (EAC) has not impacted substantially on economic growth in the region. The hypothesis was tested at 5% level of significance which translates into t-statistic value of 1.96 based on the total observation of 154 observations. Thus, if the computed t –statistic is more than......
