Bivariate volatility modelling of the impact of crude oil prices on Nigeria exchange rate
This study conducts a bivariate volatility analysis of crude oil prices and Nigeria’s exchange rate using data from 2010 to 2024 (180 observations). It employs descriptive statistics, cross-correlation, Granger causality, Johansen cointegration tests, and both VAR and DBEKK MGARCH frameworks to capture dynamic interactions and volatility persistence. The VAR results show a positive effect of crude oil prices on the exchange rate (0.1574, p = 0.0368) and mean reversion in the exchange rate (−0.158, p = 0.0344), with limited short-run causality at lag 1. DBEKK MGARCH estimates reveal pronounced …
