dc.description.abstractThis paper explores the household welfare effect of macroeconomic volatility on private consumption expenditure (PCE) in Nigeria. Methodologically, a dynamic macroeconometric stochastic model was used to analysis the nature of the impacts, where private consumption expenditure is presumed to depend upon changes in various indicators of macroeconomic performances. We empirically mode the relationship between PCE and the macroeconomy with a hybrid model that employs a reduced form coefficients of simultaneous equation models, to capture the dynamic interactions among the data and a structural economic model to describe the contemporaneous relationship between the variables. The Structural Auto-Regression (SVAR) process including the PCE, real exchange rate, general price level (inflation rate), unemployment rate and debt service ratio, is estimated over the period 1980-2008. The model ascertained the extent in which volatility of the macroeconomics does lead to a decline in consumption expenditure. We find that, the PCE response to structural one innovation appears to be greater in inflation than other endogenous variables that is, an economic shock to inflation effect is stronger on the private consumption expenditure at longer horizon. Also, inflation innovations play a larger role in explaining PCE forecast error variance in the long run than they do in the short run and this generates negative net effects on welfare.en_US
