abstract: 'Purpose The implications of trade on developing economies have generated
|
|
|
|
substantial debates with most studies focussed on ``openness in the
|
|
|
|
policy{''''}. Hence, the purpose of this study is to focus on ``openness
|
|
|
|
in practice{''''}. Design/methodology/approach This study uses two models
|
|
|
|
and employed the vector error correction model and structural vector
|
|
|
|
autoregression, first, to examine the sectoral effects; second, to
|
|
|
|
investigate the efficacy of neoclassical and new trade theories; and
|
|
|
|
third, to analyse the effect of trade openness shock on Nigerian labour
|
|
|
|
market performance. Findings The results of the first model showed that
|
|
|
|
trade openness has an adverse effect on employment and wages in both the
|
|
|
|
agriculture and manufacturing sectors. Likewise, the study concludes
|
|
|
|
that the new trade theory explains trade''s behaviour on employment and
|
|
|
|
wages in Nigeria. The second model showed that the effect of error shock
|
|
|
|
from trade openness affected wages more than employment. Research
|
|
|
|
limitations/implications The study ignores the distributional effects
|
|
|
|
due to unavailability of data. Practical implications The study
|
|
|
|
suggested, amongst others, the need for policies mix on the labour
|
|
|
|
market via a coherent set of initiatives in other to increase the
|
|
|
|
competitiveness of Nigeria in the international market.
|
|
|
|
Originality/value Most studies focussed on openness in policy through
|
|
|
|
the channels identified in the literature. However, this study
|
|
|
|
investigates these channels in ``openness in practice{''''} and
|
|
|
|
investigates trade theories'' efficacy on manufacturing and agricultural
|
|
|
|
sectors in Nigeria, which has been neglected in the literature.'
