This study evaluates the influences of various Tax revenues and duty elements on public expenditure in Nigeria over the
period of 1994 to 2016. The study employs the stationarity test, the Co-integration, Error Correction estimate and the
Granger Causality test. Due to the relatively short period considered by the study, it employs the Auto regressive
Distributive Lag model. The lag length selection criteria showed the sufficiency of the first lag for the employed model
since revenues of previous period may be expended in future periods. It is discovered in the long run that Petroleum
Profit Tax, Company Income Tax and Value Added Tax revenue sources contribute significantly to the expenditure
pattern of the government. Unidirectional causal relationship abound and spilled from Petroleum profit Tax and
Company Income tax to Government Expenditure while bidirectional causal relationship is seen between Personal
Income Tax and Government Expenditure and Valued Added Tax and Government Expenditure. It was also observed
that the trend of government expenditure is largely independent of Capital Gains Tax and Custom and Excise duties. This
is linked to insufficient funds accruing to the identified tax revenue and duties sources. Freidman’s Tax leading
hypothesis is imminently represented as Petroleum Profit Tax and Company Income Tax are seen to be leading and
determining the expenditure pattern of the public sector. Although, the above shows the dependence of government
expenditure largely on the natural resource of the nation (crude oil) and the corporate firms. It is therefore recommended
that (i) the public sector should ensure a fluid budgetary process to ensure easier transition and benefit from revenues via
government expenditures and (ii) the custom and excise duties should be reformed to ensure proper remittances and
adequate collection plans.

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of globalization on real estate development in Nigeria. The motivation for
this study lies in the compelling need to empirically investigate the spillovers of globalization on the development of real
estate in Nigeria in which past studies have not sufficiently explored. Data were collected from the UNCTAD, WDI and
Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin from 1990 to 2016. Consequently, the long-run effect indicates that FDI and
real estate development have a significant positive relationship in Nigeria. In addition, there is one way feedback
relationship which runs from FDI to real estate development in the country. This implies that globalization has been
beneficial to the development of real estate sub sector in Nigeria. Moreover, this paper makes the following
recommendations for the policy makers, investors and future researchers in the country. The spillovers of globalization
on real estate sectors development in Nigeria should not be undermined. Therefore, the policy makers in the country
should embark on policy measures that will ensure a conducive climate for foreign investors to thrive in this sector of the
economy. Also, the federal government of Nigeria should not hesitate to address all the institutional hurdles that could
frustrate the maximum spillover benefits of globalization in real estate development in the nearest future in this country

This research, considering Tobin's Q as a proxy for market valuation, determines the factors relevant in firm valuation in
Indian equity markets. The study observes that Tobin’s Q is a sound measure for judging the firms' valuation in both
intrinsic and market terms. OLS based multiple regression models find the financial leverage and ROI as significant
determinants of market valuations in India. However, the degree of impact of these firms financials on Tobin's Q is time
varying and inconsistent.
