This study provide an empirical investigation on the relationship between the stock market returns and macroeconomic variables in
order to enhance the ability of economic agents in the analysis of stock market performance in Nigeria using Autoregressive Distributive
Lag (ARDL). Annual time series data of six variables namely; broad money supply, nominal effective exchange rate, short term treasury
bills rate, foreign direct investment, gross domestic per capita income, and gross domestic saving from 1984-2013 were employed to
analyse the existence of short-run and long-run relationship between the selected macroeconomic variables and stock market returns. The
results from the Augmented Dickey-Fuller and Phillips-Perron tests of stationarity indicated that all the variables were non-stationary at
level I (0) and were stationary at first difference I (1). The Bound test procedure also revealed that the stock market returns and the
macroeconomic variables were cointegrated and, thus, a long-run equilibrium relationship exists between them. Likewise, the Granger
causality tests showed that some of the macroeconomic variables were having bidirectional causality with the stock market returns; while
others have unidirectional causality. As a result, Policy makers, financial institutions and private investors need to take the macroeconomic
indicators into consideration when formulating financial and economic policies, diversification strategies and restructuring of the
portfolios. |
