MACROECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF STOCK MARKET PERFORMANCE IN NIGERIA, 1986-2013 Anyanwu, Sarah; Aiyedogbon, John O.; ISA, Grace H. The paper is part of larger research agenda with the purpose of exploring some of the determinants of stock market in Nigeria for the periodl980-2013. The variables employed included market capitalization, per capita income, interest rate, exchange rate, inflation and the economy level of openness. The econometric methodology is error correction model and it was discovered that interest rate, inflation and past level of market capitalization were the major determining factors for trading activities at the NSE. However, the negative impact of inflation, interest rate and per capita income revealed by the study is beginning to assume a dangerous dimension. The paper therefore recommended that the monetary authority should ensure moderate interest rate that encourages investment even as the current double digit inflation in the economy should be checked.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF RURAL WOMEN ACCESS TO FORMAL AGRICULTURAL CREDIT ISA, Grace H.; Olowu, Josephine Rural -women in Kaduna state are actively involved in agricultural production. They constitute the bulk of agricultural producers in the state. Most of these women are poor and the only alternative for raising capital has continued to elude them. Obtaining loan from the banks (formal) was more problematic than the informal source that is, the non organised sector. This study therefore, investigated rural women access to formal credit. Primary data were collected through the use of structured questionnaire and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). A multi-stage random sampling technique was applied in the selection of eighty (80) women farmers. Each Local Government Areas had (40) respondents. The analytical tools used are frequencies, crosstab and percentages. The chi- square was also used to test the null hypotheses that there was a significant relationship between socio-economic factors and access to credit. It was discovered that 17 percent of rural women sourced credit from formal sources such as commercial banks, agricultural banks) and 83 percent. They got theirs from informal sources such as friends, relatives, NGOs and personal saving. The difficulty in accessing formal credit was due to socio-economic factors. The cross tabulation and chi- square analysis showed that occupation, education and landownership had influenced on access to agricultural credit. Socio-economic factors like age, family size, farm size had no influence on access to credit. Recommendations were made which includes reviewing the Land Use Act, improving education for rural women amongst others.
