Abstract
This study evaluates the transmission channels between exchange rate, unemployment,
inflation and economic growth through a multivariate trend and structural analysis. The scope of the
research is from 1986 to 2013 using annual time series data collected from the CBN statistical
Bulletin. This study employs the Vector Auto-regressive model through the ARDL bound test for co-integration.
The study reveals that empirically, there exists significant relationships between
exchange rate, unemployment, inflation and economic growth. It is therefore recommended that
massive investments should be carried out in the real sector of the economy, policy maker should try
to cushion the effect of inflation on the economy when the need arises, government should increase
aggregate demand in the economy to ensure that there is increase in domestic productivity, decision
makers should establish the buying of exchange rate in such a way so as to enhance foreign direct
investment. It is also recommended strongly that special attention be given to policy implementation.
