摘要:The study examined the effects of twins' deficits in Nigeria for the period 1970-2008. Secondary time-series data were used for the study and analysed using econometric techniques.

The study concluded that an appropriate policy measures to reduce budget deficits could play an important role in reducing trade deficit and complement this with budget-cut policies via a coherent package that focus on policies for export promotion, productivity improvement and exchange rate, among others
