  • Egwaikhide, F.O.

Abstract

This study examines the determinants of aggregate imports and its components in Nigeria between 1953 and 1989. The estimated equations rest on the stocki adjustment import exchange model that has its roots in the balance of apyments theory and in the consumer theory of demand as in the traditional import demand function.
