Abstract

This paper investigates the response of poverty to shocks in trade liberalization and the impacts of the latter and its complement on the former in Nigeria over a period of 1981–2015. Adopting both time-varying parameter (TVP) approach of state-space model and FMOLS, the result revealed that growth in macroeconomic policies indicators and institutions was on the average a declining function of poverty while policies inconsistencies have resulted into a sharp upward and downward movement in poverty rate. The interacting terms provide evidence in support of the need for trade complementarities in reducing poverty.
