Abstract: Agriculture is the backbone of the State economy and an important contributor to SGDP. It is losing its status as it is subject to different constraints. This paper attempts to explain the present agriculture scenario of Uttarakhand and the Changing patterns of agriculture in terms of cropping pattern production and the number of holdings. The current situation is not satisfactory in terms of food grains as the area under these crops has shown disturbing trends and the farmers are losing their interest in the farming sector. Landholding size per family and field sizes have both decreased markedly during recent years. Agricultural development has been sluggish and has failed to keep pace.....

Abstract: Experts have argued that financial globalisation facilitates domestic investment and economic growth. However, findings from various studies on the effect of financial globalisation on economic growth in developing countries have been mixed. Hence, the main objective of this study was to compare the effect of financial globalisation on economic growth in Ghana and Nigeria. Variables used in the study such as real gross domestic product growth rate (as dependent variable), net foreign assets, foreign direct investment, domestic credit provided by the banking sector, capital formation, labour force, trade openness and inflation rate were obtained from the world.....

Abstract: Large segment of the Indian population is dependent on agriculture for livelihood, increasing food insecurity is still a big challenge for major section of our country. In the post-reform period, the performance of Indian agriculture is found to be lacklustre due to the stagnation of agricultural investment. Agriculture GDP is impacted by the following factor: rainfall, public and private investment, area under fruits and vegetables, total factor productivity, other inputs like pesticides, electricity, rainfall, fertilizer and seeds. An attempt has been made by the author to empirically investigate this aspect using time series data in the Indian economy for the duration 1991-2019, the semi-log model has been constructed to study the factors affecting Agriculture GDP in India. As per our results, some other variables show insignificant impact on the agriculture GDP, indicating limitations of the model, which could be suffering from issues such as problems of simultaneous equation bias, endogeneity problem, non-stationary series, severe multicollinearity.

Abstract: This study investigated empirically the price stability and monetary policy framework in Nigeria using annual time series data spanning from 1970 to 2019. The main trust of the paper is to ascertain whether exchange rate, inflation rate and interest rate have stabilized the monetary policy outcomes in Nigeria. The data set for the paper were checked using Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and Philips Perron unit root tests, which found that all series were stationary at I(1). In the unrestricted VAR model, only exchange rate was found to be statistically significant having a t-statistic of over 4.05. This showed that even in the short-run, it is only the first lagged predetermined exchange rate can influence the price stability in designing the monetary policy framework in Nigeria. In the impulse response......

Abstract: The study investigates empirically the effectiveness of economic diversification on economic growth in Africa with a particular reference to Nigeria using annual time series data spanning from 1970 to 2017. The main objectives of the study are to examine the effect of agricultural revenue, trade revenue and tourism revenue on the Nigerian economy over the periods under review. The study adopts Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and Philips Perron unit root tests to examine the stationary status of all the variables employed and the results of the both tests show that all the variables (GDP, AGRICR, TRADER and TOURR) were stationary after differencing them once. The Johanson co integration.......
