Abstract
This study investigated the effect of oil price shock (OPS), exchange rate volatility (EXRV), and non‐oil export (NOX) on economic growth in Nigeria using quarterly time‐series data from 1981Q1 to 2018Q4. Structural vector autoregressive methodology was adopted to identify the effect; Zivot‐Andrews unit root test and Johansen cointegration were first applied to established stationarity properties and long‐run relationships of the variables. The study found that OPS, EXRV, and NOX had a significant negative effect on economic growth in Nigeria. The study recommended reviving of oil refineries; diversification of the economy; and deliberate policy to promote NOX.
