摘要

摘要2019冠状病毒病在全球范围内造成了经济困难。一些经济体正在努力缓解这些负面影响。在封锁和全球油价下跌的趋势之后，尼日利亚经济受到了沉重打击。本文阐明了政策参与者对尼日利亚政府应对新冠肺炎影响和确保经济快速复苏的经济政策的看法。采用多阶段随机抽样方法，从学术界/研究机构、民间社会组织、发展伙伴、国际非政府组织、国家非政府组织，私营部门和公共部门中挑选并采访了635名政策行动者。该研究采用了参与式发展方法。采用描述性和演绎性分析方法。研究结果支持向家庭和中小型企业直接转移现金，这是一种政策选择，将对减轻2019冠状病毒病在尼日利亚的经济影响产生巨大影响。第二个最受建议的政策选择是根除政府官员中的腐败。该文件建议，根除政府官员腐败行为的务实行动应成为尼日利亚和其他新兴经济体任何经济复苏政策的组成部分。

Nigerian economic policy response to COVID‐19: An evaluation of policy actors' views

Abstract COVID‐19 has caused economic hardship globally. Several economies are making efforts to cushion these negative effects. Following the lockdown and downward trend of global oil prices, the Nigerian economy has been hard hit. This paper sheds light on policy actors' views vis‐à‐vis what should be the economic policy response of the Nigerian government to cushion the effects of COVID‐19 and ensure quick economic recovery. A multistage random sampling method was used to select and interview 635 policy actors drawn from academia/research institutes, civil society organizations, development partners, international NGOs, national NGOs, the private sector, and the public sector. The study adopted a participatory development approach. Descriptive and deductive analysis methods were used. The results support direct cash transfers to households, and small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) as the policy option that would have huge impact in mitigating the economic effects of COVID‐19 in Nigeria. The second most recommended policy option is the eradication of corruption among government officials. The paper recommends that pragmatic actions towards eradicating corrupt practices among government officials should be an integral part of any economic recovery policy in Nigeria and other emerging economies.

期刊介绍： Poverty is worldwide, but empirical studies of poverty, income distribution, and low-income aid programs for citizens have thus far been more common in America, Canada, Australia, and the major industrial nations of Europe. American and Canadian studies of poverty, income issues, and social welfare programs have, to an extent, been insular in scope. Poverty & Public Policy (PPP) is a global journal. In much of the world, including Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East and much of Asia, there are important studies of poverty, income and aid programs; little has been integrated into the scholarly literature, however, which is an oversight this journal aims to correct. Poverty & Public Policy publishes quality research on poverty, income distribution, and welfare programs from scholars around the globe. PPP is eclectic, publishing peer-reviewed empirical studies, peer-reviewed theoretical essays on approaches to poverty and social welfare, book reviews, data sets, edited blogs, and incipient data from scholars, aid workers and other hands-on officials in less developed nations and nations that are just beginning to focus on these problems in a scientific fashion.
