Purpose — This research paper explores the causal links between trade openness, poverty, and sustainable development, shedding light on the potential impact of trade policies on poverty reduction and sustainable development in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) region.Method — We utilize the Dumitrescu-Hurlin (DH) panel causality test, a robust econometric approach capable of discerning the direction and magnitude of causal relationships among variables. We employ a comprehensive dataset spanning from 1986 to 2020, covering ECOWAS countries, to conduct a rigorous empirical analysis.Result — The empirical findings from the DH causality analysis reveal a unidirectional relationship between trade openness, human capital investment, and both sustainable development and poverty. Additionally, bidirectional causality relationships are observed between human capital investment and poverty. The results also highlight the absence of a consistent and uniform pattern of Granger causality between poverty and sustainability across individual West African economies. This heterogeneity underscores the need for customized policy approaches based on empirical evidence derived from country-specific causality analyses, rather than adopting one-size-fits-all solutions.Novelty — This research stands out by exploring the causal connections among trade openness, poverty, and sustainable development within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) region. The adoption of the Dumitrescu-Hurlin (DH) panel causality test enhances the empirical analysis, offering a comprehensive understanding of both the direction and magnitude of these relationships.

Introduction: Inclusive growth (IG) is a revolutionary method for generating and sustaining macroeconomic stability through economic development, social equity, and prosperity. There has been little theoretical and empirical study in Nigeria on analyzing the effects of trade openness on inclusive growth and exploring its determinants. Methods: This study examines the intermediating roles of institutional infrastructure in the trade openness-inclusive growth nexus in Nigeria spanning from 1985 to 2021. The study employed the Johansen Cointegration methodology to confirm the existence of the long-run association while fully modified ordinary least squares (FM-OLS) and dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) techniques are used to elucidate the uncertainty in the trade openness-inclusive growth nexus. Results: Consequently, the results of the Johansen Cointegration confirmed the long-run association among variables. The FM-OLS and D-OLS indicate that trade openness enhances growth in Nigeria, suggesting that greater trade openness would foster inclusive growth and remain a focal point for both direct and indirect relations with inclusive growth. The interaction effects of trade openness and institutional infrastructure on inclusive growth show negative and insignificant effects on inclusive growth, demonstrating that institutional infrastructure plays a mitigating influence in the relationship between trade openness and inclusive growth, albeit insignificant at a 5% level. Conclusion and suggestion: The study recommends that Nigeria should pursue policies aimed at improving institutional infrastructures with a way of reducing transactional costs and risks related to trading.

Introduction: It is likely that enterprises and entrepreneurs will be encouraged to engage in the formal sector as economies integrate more fully into the global economy. Thus, we begin our investigation by looking at the relationship between Nigeria's shadow economy and disaggregated trade openness. Based on Nigeria's inadequate institutional quality, our second purpose is to conduct further research on the role institutional quality plays in moderating the relationship between its shadow economy and disaggregated trade openness between 1991 and 2018. Methods: The fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and Granger causality methods are used in this paper to investigate the nexus and causal effect in time-series analysis. Results: The coefficients of institutional quality, import-to-GDP ratio, government expenditure, and financial development all have an adverse impact on Nigeria's shadow economy. The inflation proxy with the consumer price index, economic growth, and the export-to-GDP ratio all improve Nigeria's shadow economy. The findings of interaction between the import-export ratio and the quality of institutions positively affect the Nigerian shadow economy. The pairwise Granger causality exercise comes after the regression analysis. Conclusion and suggestion: The study concludes that the size of Nigeria's shadow economy is influenced by institutional quality, import trade, government expenditures, and financial development. Similarly, we find no causal relationship between disaggregated trade openness in Nigeria and institutional quality. As a result, policymakers and the country's government must act quickly and decisively to reduce the impact of informal activities on the country's economy.
