Abstract

Psychological problems such as anxiety have been reported to adversely affect students' learning outcomes.  This study explored the effectiveness of cognitive therapy with reflective activities on reducing Economics test anxiety among secondary school students. A randomizedcontrolledtrial experimental design was used. The sample sizewas120 senior secondary school students in South East Nigeria.A questionnaire titled "test anxiety scale" was used to collect data. It contained a demographic section and 20 items.To assign subjects to treatment or control groups, a randomization process was used.Subjectsin the treatmentgroup were subjectedto a cognitivebehavioural therapy (CBT) program.A three-time point evaluation was conducted with subjects in the treatment and control groups.Repeated measures and data collected were analysed with ANOVA. In comparison with the control group, research subjects exposed to CBT reportedlower testanxiety. In addition, at the follow-upmeasure, the scoresof researchsubjectsin the CBT groups weresignificantly lowerthan those of the control group. Hence,CBT significantly reducedEconomics students’ test anxiety. Theresearchers concludedthat the CBTprogramreducesEconomics students' test anxiety.

Abstract

The study examined the impact of remittances on economic development in Nigeria between 1980 and 2020. ARDL (Auto-regressive Distributed Lag) is used in this study. An analysis of the unit root test was conducted in which variables such as gross domestic product per capita, gross fixed capital formation and as well as inflation, which is integrated with order zero I(0), and variables such as exchange rate, household consumption expenditure and remittances are integrated of order one I(1). In order to confirm the long-term relationships among the variables, the Co-integration bound test was used. Long-term relationships were confirmed between the variables. In addition, the study was free of serial correlations and stable. The study revealed that a positive relationship exists between remittances, gross fixed capital formation and household consumption expenditure to gross domestic product per capital (economic development) and a negative relationship between real exchange rate and gross domestic product per capital. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that remittances have a positive impact and are linked to economic development in the long run, and that remittances should be encouraged as an alternative means of financing investment.

Abstract

The study examined the impact of trade openness on economic growth in some selected countries in West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, Gambia, Code d’Ivory, Burkina Faso and Sierra Leone). We use the Panel dataset comprising 6 countries from West Africa during this period 1986- 2016. The study used the Fixed effect panel analysis for the estimation. The study tested for descriptive statistics and found that Cote d’ Ivory has the highest trade openness followed by Ghana, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Gambia that has the least trade openness. The study tested for unit root, at first difference 1(I), the variables are stationary, only inflation that was stationary at level I(0). The study uses the Pedroni Co-integration test for long-run association among trade openness, real gross domestic product, foreign direct investment, inflation and exchange rate and found that there exist a long run relationship. The result of the study reveals that trade openness has a positive and significant relationship between gross domestic product, it means that trade openness has an impact to economic growth in the selected West Africa countries.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of unemployment rate on health outcomes in Nigeria from 1985 to 2022. The study adopts the annual time series data obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN, 2022) Statistical Bulletin and World Development Indicators (WDI, 2022). This study uses life expectancy and child mortality as the two metrics for health outcomes. The ARDL Bounds Test for co-integration shows there exists long run relationship between the variables. The study employed the ARDL model and results show that unemployment rate has negative and positive impacts on the two metrics respectively in both the short run and long run. While other variables like population growth, total labor force, and government expenditure on health show statistically significant impact on life expectancy in Nigeria. The granger causality test shows that there is a bi-directional causality between unemployment rate and child mortality rate in Nigeria; whereas there is no causality running from unemployment rate to life expectancy rate in Nigeria. The study recommends that to improve life expectancy and reduce child mortality, there should be an investment in primary healthcare, health awareness campaigns, education, sustainable economic growth, social safety nets, population control strategies, and a skilled labor force.
