Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study examines the impact of inflation on consumption in Nigeria using time series data from 1990 to 2023. The results of the Zivot and Andrews unit root test indicate that consumption and GDP are non-stationary at levels but become stationary after differencing, while inflation rate is stationary at levels. The study employs a regression analysis to investigate the relationship between inflation and consumption, controlling for other macroeconomic variables. The findings suggest that inflation has a significant negative impact on consumption in Nigeria. The study's results have implications for policymakers, highlighting the importance of price stability in promoting consumption and economic growth. The findings of this study can inform policy decisions aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of inflation on consumption and promoting economic stability in Nigeria.
