Review of: "Exchange Rate Pass-Through and Inflation on Unemployment in Nigeria"
Résumé
Review report for the paper: "Exchange Rate Pass-Through and Inflation on Unemployment in Nigeria" General appraisal: This study explores the nexus between exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, and unemployment in Nigeria from 1986 to 2022, using annual data from the Central Bank of Nigeria and the World Bank.Employing Nonlinear ARDL models and SVAR techniques, the research validates the chosen models through comprehensive diagnostic tests.Significant findings indicate that exchange rate fluctuations significantly impact unemployment, while inflation influences unemployment in both short and long run.The study also supports the applicability of the Phillips Curve hypothesis in the Nigerian context and recommends tailored monetary policies, emphasizing the need for a threshold model by the Central Bank of Nigeria to capture both the direction and magnitude of changes in the real exchange rate.Policymakers are urged to address rising unemployment rates due to exchange rate fluctuations and expedite structural reforms for economic diversification.The study provides actionable insights for navigating the economic challenges in Nigeria.The paper addresses an interesting topic, but requires a minor revision in order to meet the standards of publication in the journal.More specific comments follow.
