Panel data analysis was conducted for the 73 companies that met the necessary criteria. The companies were taken from companies quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). The study yields a number of insights into the ownership structure of the Nigerian corporate sector. First, the vast majority of Nigerians individual investors are small shareholders and few are in the list of the ten top largest shareholders. Second on the average, ownership structure is highly concentrated in Nigeria. Third, there is mixed and weak correlation between ownership structure and corporate performance in Nigeria.

In effect, this paper focused on the quantitative determination of cost-raising effect of SPS measures on the exports of processed agricultural and food products of Nigeria through the estimation of firms' variable cost function in an attempt to provide evidence of the cost of compliance to export market standards. Employing primary data, it was found that the imposition of SPS measures in export markets produced significant variable costs of compliance. The study also observed that SPS measures were likely to be imposed for trade restrictive purposes in Nigeria's export markets, while attempts to meet these standards by Nigerian producers and exporters may not result in increased exports, because of the protective intent of the standards' imposing countries.

The study employed a multistage random sampling procedure for the selection of 302 respondents across four major rice producing states in the country. The main analytical technique used was estimation of technical efficiency following Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) Procedure available in Frontier 4.1. Results that emanated from these analyses showed that significant increase recorded in output of rice in the country could be traced mainly to area expansion. Other variables that tended to contribute to technical efficiency were; hired labour, herbicides and seeds. The estimated average technical efficiencies for the two groups were correspondingly high (>0.90). Further analysis showed that farmers in both categories were operating at a point of increasing return to scale. The test of hypothesis on the differentials in technical efficiency between the two groups of farmers showed that there was no absolute differential in technical efficiency between them.

Aside from theoretical predictions, not much is known about the process and outcome of privatization exercises in Africa. This study evaluates technical efficiency in four privatized enterprises in Nigeria. The methodology adopted is Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The technical efficiency scores are presented both for the Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) and Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) DEA. Relative efficiency was found to be considerably higher in the past privatization period in both the CRS and VRS specifications. These results indicate a substantial improvement in technical efficiency as a result of privatization.

It employs two alternative measures of real exchange rate misalignment, one based on deviations from Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) and the other on a model estimate of equilibrium real exchange rate (RER). Under both frameworks, RER volatility is defined in terms of its coefficient of variations. The results show that, irrespective of the misalignment generating framework adopted, both RER misalignment and volatility adversely affect the country's non-oil export growth. However, the results under the model based approach appear to be more robust.

The results suggest that assets are important determinants of adoption of land conservation practices, a confirmation that the poor will be less likely to conserve than the rich.

Still, most studies in developing countries have left detailed examination of exports' components and domestic institutions unexplored in the export-growth nexus. Based on an error correction model, this paper examines the impact of manufactured exports and its components on economic growth in Nigeria, taking cognisance of the country's institutional framework. Few of the components of manufactured exports were found to exert positive influence on growth both in the long and short runs. The paper, however, finds ample evidence in support of the relevance of quality of institutions in the economic growth process. In effect, with the right institutional framework, export-led growth, and specific focus on selected manufacturing sub sectors there appears to be a feasible development strategy for Nigeria.
