Fiscal federalism and accountability in Nigeria: an ARDL approach

Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between fiscal federalism and accountability in Nigeria. Corruption is a global plague and is endemic in nature. Several policies have been adopted by the Nigerian Government to institutionalize accountability and combat the scourge of corruption that have hindered socio-economic progress but to no avail.

“…Thirdly, the econometric methodology is relieved of the responsibility of determining the order of integration among variables and pre-testing for unit roots. Because the variables are assumed to be stationary at levels (I(0)), first difference (I(1)) or fractionally integrated, pre-testing for unit roots in time-series variables and determining first-order integration or I(1) behaviour are not necessary for this technique (Ewetan et al 2020 ). However, to assure the relevance of the co-integrating relationship, Pesaran et al ( 2001 ) stated that the dependent variable should be first difference stationary.…”

“…Based on the theoretical and empirical literature, we expect that an estimate of α1 to be positive or negative, supporting either “sand in the wheels” or “grease the wheels” hypothesis. Additionally, prior empirical literature revealed that short and long run estimates of corruption can be of different magnitude, direction and significance (Al Qudah et al , 2020; Ewetan et al , 2020). However, equation (1) does not take into consideration both short-run and long-run estimates, thus we reconstructed the equation (1) in the format of error corrections as follows: …”

“…Além do mais essas políticas podem ir de encontro às premissas que embasam o uso de um sistema descentralizado em relação ao centralizado, que para Oates (1972) em geral seria maior eficiência na oferta de bens e serviços, melhorar o bem-estar da população e maior oferta de bens e serviços públicos adequados às preferencias regionais. No âmbito da descentralização fiscal, a participação do Estado em vários setores da economia pode interferir na relação da estrutura vertical do setor público nos diferentes níveis de governo, já que o governo central tem responsabilidade pela estabilização macroeconômica e a distribuição de renda (BASKARAN;FELD;SCHNELLENBACH, 2016;BOADWAY;CUFF, 2017;CATARINO;ABRAHAM, 2018;EWETAN et al, 2020;VANDE, 2021).…”
