problem in Nigeria since 1960. Fiscal and monètary policies are stabilization policies which are
considered relevant
in the battle against disequilibria in the economy, alternately or as a mix. The focal problem of
this research is to investigate the relative impact of alternative stabilization policies - fiscal
and monetary - on economic nctivity with the view to bringing about economic stabili­

two hypotheses within a time span of about 10 years. These hypotheses
are investigations on the relative magnitude of impact and the predic:tability of the response of
economic activity - gross domestic product - to fiscal and monetary policies.
The present study investigates the subject on the basis
(of three hypotheses which includes a further investigation on the time pattern of the relationship
between economic activity and fiscal and monetary policies - the·speed·and time of_impact. Also
