Abstract

We examined the long and short run association subsisting between stock market development
(market capitalisation, value of transactions, number of deal and all share index), and Nigerian economic
growth (RGDP) with quarterly data from 1986 to 2017. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model is
applied for the purpose of estimation. The ARDL bound test result revealed that all the indicators of market
development exert positive effect on the RGDP in the short run. Further, all the indicators except number of
deals, have direct and significant relationship with economic growth. Moreover, we find that market
development causes economic growth. Consequently, we recommend a need for the implementation of
policies and procedures capable of enhancing investors’ confidence and boosting market because of their
perceived multiplier impacts on economic growth. Effort should also be focused on the enhancement of stock
market size which in turn will provide the needed fund for investment and thus resulting in rise in the RGDP.
