Impact of Long-Run Exchange Rate Volatility on Stock Market Performance in Nigeria
Journal Title: International Journal of Management Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
This study looks at the long-run effects of exchange rate on stock market performance in Nigeria between 1988 and 2012 using cointegration tests. A bi-variate model was specified and empirical results show a significant positive stock market performance to exchange rate on the short-run and a significant negative stock market performance to exchange rate on the long-run. The granger causality test shows a strong evidence that the causation runs from exchange rate to stock market performance, implying that variations in the Nigerian stock market is explained by exchange rate volatility.
