Vulnerability
measures are becoming tools to evolving proactive steps to alleviate poverty.
The data for the study were obtained form the merged General Household survey
(GHS) and the national consumer survey (NCS) of 1996. The cross- sectional data
were augmented with certain covariate factors. The study were analysed using 3
stage Feasible Generalized least squares (FGLS). Bother idiosyncratic and covariate
factors affect the expected log per capita consumption of rural Nigerians. The
overall expected poverty for the country at 0.535 is 1.02 times the observed
poverty in 1996. Higher expected poverty is synonymous with north east, no
formal education, farming, older head of household, large household size and
male headed household. The north east region has both lower mean per capital
consumption and higher variance compared with other regions of the country.
Further, consumption variance is highest for households whose heads have
secondary education while households whose heads have no formal education have
lowest mean expected consumption. Farming households have lower mean per-capital
consumption compared with their non-farming households male headed households
have both lower mean consumption and higher consumption variance relative to
their female counterparts. Age wise, house hold heads below age 20 have the
lowest mean consumption and the highest consumption variance. House holds with
more than 10 members have very low mean consumption and very high consumption
variance. Depending on whether there is low mean consumption or higher
consumption variance or both, policy strategies suitable for the different
groups will vary form increased mean per capital consumption to consumption
smoothening or both.

The
capital market is the prime motor that drives any economy on its path to growth
and development because it is responsible for long-term-growth capital
formation. The objective identifies the importance of capital market. Data were
collected form the central bank statisitical Bulletin formthe periods 1992 to
2007. the ordinary least square and Cochrane-oruitt methods were used in
analyzing the data. It was discovered that the capital market has not
contributed positively to the development of the Nigerian economy. However,
there is a positive correlation between the rate of transactions in the capital
market and the development of Nigeria economy. Indeed, stringent requirement
for entry into the capital market should be relaxed and adequate publicity
should be given to the activity at the capital market.

The stock exchange is a specialized market for the
buying and selling of securities. These securities include stocks and shares
which represent ownership interests in business, debentures and government
bonds. The study reviewed stock exchange, its functions, activities, roles,
legislation and the advantages and disadvantages of listing on the stock
market. The trading, cleaning and settlement process of the Nigerian stock
Exchange as will as the shortcomings were X-rayed. For Nigerian stock exchange
to contribute in the development of the Nigeria economy through the
mobilization and utilization of funds for expansion of business enterprise in
the country, it has intensified efforts in creating public awareness as regards
its services to the economy, effective investor education, fostering and
stimulating speculation in the market
and reforms that compel investors to take due diligence when funds are to be
raised by government to eliminate the buying and selling culture that exists in
the market.

Assessment
of income shocks and households vulnerability provides as excellent way of
designing appropriate marginal reforms to tackle welfare problems among some
vulnerable groups. Three stage feasible Generalized least square (FGLS), analyses
expected poverty using the 2004 Nlss data high agricultural input price and
lack of capital to expand own business were experienced by the largest
proportion of the household. High vulnerability was displayed by rural area,
male healed house hold large family and large number of dependant. Appropriate
marginal reforms should be targeted at vulnerability group in rural areas and
specific zones of the country in order to reduce chronic and transient poverty.

Year- 2011.
Poverty
both in absolute and relative term is afflicting most Nigerian to be sure successive
Nigerian regimes name adopted series of
measures to a meliorate the plight of the poor. The application of capitalist
policies and strategies has not been able to alleviate poverty indeed, poverty
alleviation is impossible with the application of orthodox capitalist principle
as a result of the contradiction which are inherent in capitalism. However,
Nigerian state should adopt socialism or regulated capitalism if it is desirous
to alleviate poverty.

Poverty
reduction is the goal of all rural development programmers embarked upon by
Nigerian government this is important becomes poverty is Nigerian problem in
Nigeria and the rural area are mostly
affected using 2006 core welfare indicator survey (C.W.R) data, fuzzy set
approach was used to examine the impact of poverty alleviation programmers on
multidimensional poverty index for rural Nigeria is 0.3796 some development
programmers had negative impact on multidimensional poverty index of rural
Nigeria. House hold head in the south –south region were multidimensional poor
than those in other in regions the government should intensity efforts on
programmers that had positive impact on multidimensional poverty index of rural
Nigeria and that government programmers get to the targeted people.

Year- 2007
Contingency
theory has been given relatively little consideration in terms of the factors
that influence the accounting information systems. Few organizations appear to
have systematic processes in place for managing the evolution of their
measurement system, testing contingency hypotheses in budgetary research using
moderated regression analysis. However, mauve organizational concept,
technology and a human information processing system is a tool for contingency
theory of accounting information to the UAE banking sector.

Evaluation of Internal Control Systems
–A Study from Uganda.
Researcher: Angella Amudo and Eno,
L.Inanga.
Journal: International Research Journal
of Finance and Economics.
Year: 2009
Internal
control systems is a topical issue following global fraudulent financial
reporting and accounting scandals in both developed and developing counties. A
proactive preventive approach to the problem requires a critical evaluation of
the existing internal control structure in organizations to determine their
capacity to ensure that the organizations activities are carried out in accordance
with established goals, policies and procedures, A conceptual model is used in
evaluating the internal control systems in public sector projects in Uganda
financed by the African Development Bank. Thus, some control components of
effective internal control systems are lacking in these projects and renders the
cement control structures in effective. There should be improvements in the
existing internal control systems.

Sub-saharan
Africa has become synonymous with poverty. Nigeria hosts the largest population
of poor people in the region. The inauguration of the MDGs represents an
attempt at combating poverty through global partnership for development. And
constitute the key to Nigeria’s escape from poverty trap. However, the current
progress towards the attainment of the goals is approximately at a snails pace.
To achieve the aim, sound reform practices are required.

Developing Societies. Vol 1 No 1,
Year: 2012.
The
performance of stock market is an impetus for economic growth and development.
The economic growth was proxies by Gross Domestic Product (GDB) while the
capital market variables considered market capitalization (MCAP), Total New
Issues (TNI) value of transactions (VLT) and total listed equities and
government stocks (LEGS) Johansen co-integration and granger causality test
should that the Nigerian capital market and economic growth are co-integrated
it means a long run relationship exists between capital market and economic
growth in Nigeria, the causality test suggest a
bidirectional causation between the GDP and the value of transactions
(VLT) and a unidirectional causality form market capitalization to the GDP and
vice-versa. There is independence “no causation” between the GDP and total new
issues (TNI) as well as GDP and LEGS. This is a year in indication of the
relative positive impact capital market plays on the economic growth of the country;
Equally, the activities of the capital market tend to impact positively on the
economy. The regulatory authority should initiate policies that would encourage
move companies to access the market and be more proactive in their surveillance
role in order to check sharp practices which undermine market integrity and
erode investor’s confidence.

Oil and Water Do Mix- the case of Saudi
Arabia
Researcher: Masudul Alam Choudlury
Journal: the Journal of Developing areas
Vol 37 No 2.
Year: 2004.
Attaining economic development and social
wellbeing through national development planning constitutes complementary
goals. Such supplementary link between the two goals is shown by the
interaction between the economic need to maintain healthy oil revenues and the
social necessity to use a part of the revenues to sustain subsidy of a most
central life fulfilling need the water resource in Sandi Arabia. The general eguirlitnum
petwleum production function is taken as a two sector model with linkages
between crude oil production as sector I and the water resource as sector which
the oil revenue is infected into a pricing model of water resource. Incite of
the oil backed subsidy for water, the wealthily of the global oil market could
be avoided by hinging the development and sustainability of water subsidy on a
birch mark

Indonesia’s monetary policy Dilemma-
Constraints of Inflation targeting.
Researchers: Anis Chowdhury and Herman to Siregar
Journal: Journal of Developing Areas
Volume 37 No 2
Year: 2004
Indonesia has been the west his
country darning the 1997-1998 Asian Crisis. On the fiscal side, the government
is burdened with and the pressure to maintain social expenditure. On the
monetary side, there is a preoccupation with a lower inflation rate which conflicts
with the need to maintain liquid in a repressed economy. By examining the
inflation growth relationship, the study focused on whether there is any room
for inflating the economy to ease the pressure on government debt repayment
while maintaining social expenditure. The researcher finds a the way
relationship between inflation and growth but there is some evidence of long
rum neutrality of money showing that inflation is unlikely to affect economic
growth adversely in the long rum. The researcher used simple model that
explicitly takes into account inflation growth trade off and found that there
is room for a lighter in flatiron rate than what it currently targeted. In
need, the study favors more expansionary macroeconomic policy mix.

Determinants of migration to and from
Bolivar State, Venezuela for 1961 and 1990; the effect of Ciudad Guayana on
migration.
Researcher: Evelyn D. Ravuri;
Journal: the Journal of Developing
Areas. Vol 37 No 2
Year: 2004.
The great in flux of migrants to the
capital arties of many developing countries by the mid-twentieth century
resulted in concentrated population in many of these countries. The
dissatisfaction with the concentration of population in the capital region
forced many developing countries to cities, rural regions, or resource
frontiers. In1959, Venezuela created an industrial growth pole in Bolivia state
as an attempt to direct population away from Caracas. Regression paralysis was
applied to determine whether the predictor variables pertaining to sates of
origin or destination for life-time immigrants and out migrants to and from Believer
differed between 1961 and 1990 as a result of this programmed. Results
indreated that 1961 life time migrants responded to distance, population and
industry while 1990 migrants were being reunited from the more populous state
suggesting that the industrial growth pole had obtained a size that attracted
further growth. The predictor enables for life time out migrants as of 1961
were income, distance and population where as 1990 life-time out migrants only
responded to income.

Nigeria and its attendant effect on economic growth, the co-integration
analysis was used for the study. The results showed that foreign direct investment
at cement year is regionally associated with GDP possibly due to the fact that
such investment needed to be allowed sometime lag to translate to any
significant impact the impact of domestic capital formation is relatively
compared.
