study investigates a relationship between agriculture and manufacturing
industry output in Nigeria from 1982-2015, using the Granger causality,
co-integration and error correction techniques. Empirical evidence reveals a
bidirectional relationship between the sectors. Although, a positive and
significant relationship exists in the short and long-run estimates, a long-run
divergence from the vector error correction model suggest that changes in
agricultural productivity are not restored to equilibrium, given that
macroeconomic factors distort the linkage. Policy implications indicate that macroeconomic
stability is a necessary condition for agricultural and manufacturing sectors
to foster economic growth.</p>
