The study examines whether external debt actually promotes economic growth in developing
countries using Nigeria as a case study. Time series data from 1970-2007 were fitted into the regression
equation using various econometric techniques such as Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test, Granger causality
test, Johansen co-integration test and Vector Error Correction Method (VECM). Empirical results reveal that
causality does not exist between external debt and economic growth as causation between debt and growth was
also found to be weak and insignificant in Nigeria.
Key words: Causality, co-integration, economic growth, error correction, external debt JEL CLASSIFICATIONS: H63, 040, ,
