Nigerian Oil and Exchange Rates: Indicators of ‘Dutch Disease’

Abstract: This article assesses the impact of expanding oil revenues on non‐oil sectors of the Nigerian economy from 1960 to 1985/6. Emphasis is placed on the effects of exchange rate appreciation during the 1970s on the agricultural, manufacturing and non‐traded goods sectors. The analysis is conducted within a Dutch disease context. Two main conclusions are that the decline of Nigerian agriculture during these years can be attributed to a combination of low real producer prices and insufficient government investment, … Show more

“…Manufacturing defied the standard "Dutch Disease" pattern and expanded during the oil boom. Several reasons have been proposed for this, including the non-market allocation of resources (Bevan et al 1999, p. 51,113), government support for specific industries (Bienen 1988, p. 243), protectionism (Adenikinju and Alaba 1999, p. 255), an overvalued exchange rate that cheapened the import of raw materials and intermediate goods (Struthers 1990), and the downstream location of some manufacturing activities from oil (Struthers 1990). Manufacturing gains were naturally most pronounced in the South, where the sector had long been concentrated (Mustapha 2006, p. 9).…”

“…But this frequently results in economic distortions, "Dutch" disease, that again threatens sustained development (see for example: Struthers, 1990). In addition, some GDP gains would probably occur as the "natural", i.e., unplanned, consequence of an expanding world economy.…”

“…(Bienen, 1988). Cette accélération des dépenses provoqua un formidable choc de demande qui, du fait d'un contenu particulièrement intensif en biens et services abrités, créa les conditions propices à l'émergence d'un syndrome néerlandais (GeIb, 1986;Pinto, 1987;Struthers, 1990).…”

“…Dans la mesure où les chocs pétroliers au Nigeria ont de toute évidence entraîné une appréciation notable du taux de change réel (Pinto, 1987 ;GeIb, 1988 ;Struthers, 1990) 16 , cette évolution originale semble trahir une faible sensibilité des salaires aux chocs et donc une élasticité \|/ aux prix des biens et services abrités plutôt modérée, peut-être même négative. Une estimation économétrique sur une série suffisamment longue serait à même d'en rendre compte de manière rigoureuse.…”
