- Abstract
The study is conducted to establish a quantitative relationship (model) between the impacts shipping on the economy of Nigeria and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) using an econometric method and to test the significance of the impact. The econometric/analytical method of regression analysis was adopted to achieve the objective. Time series data of 10 years were collected on the past contributions of maritime transport to the national output (GDP) from the Central Bank of Nigeria annual statistical bulletin.
