The study applies a time series data set, which covers the period from1980 to 2011.

This study also uses the Error Correction Model (ECM) to estimate the short–run dynamic relationship between good governance and poverty reduction. The findings of the study provide evidence of a long term relationship between good governance and poverty reduction. The results of the ARDL suggest that good governance co-integrates with poverty reduction. However, there is no evidence to show that economic growth integrates with poverty reduction in Nigeria. The measures of governance such as the rule of law, quality of bureaucracy, and strong civil liberty significantly affect poverty reduction in the short run, the coefficient of the error correction term is negative and significant and the magnitude of the coefficient indicates the extent to which any disequilibrium is corrected in more than two periods. 2013-08 Thesis http://shdl.mmu.edu.my/6286/ http://library.mmu.edu.my/diglib/onlinedb/dig_lib.php phd doctoral Multimedia University Faculty of Management |
