Abstract: This study examined empirically the impact of inflationary rate on the level of investment in a developing economy a case study of Nigerian Economy 1970- 2008. The study adopted co-integration and error correction model as the estimating techniques. The empirical results showed that there is a long run relationship between inflationary rate and investment in Nigeria. Unlike some developed nations where inflation has direct relationship with the investment, in Nigeria, low rate of inflation and increased national income would promote investment. The policy recommendation is that Nigeria government should strive to curtail inflation to the minimum while accelerating the growth of the national income in her quest to boost investment.

Abstract: This paper, based on the average monthly data (January, 2001 to May, 2013) of 12 macroeconomic variables, uses the data reduction technique-factor analysis to derive the factors which determine the performance of stock market in India. The Principal Component Technique after using orthogonal rotation extracted three factors labeled intuitively as Macro Environment, Industrial Performance and Policy Rates. It has been established that industrial performance play significant role in influencing the stock market. Though some impact of policy rates cannot be denied but it does not seem sustainable. Market rely more on optimistic macroeconomic environment call for state's prudent efforts to maintain macro stability. Besides, stock market responds to performance of the firm specific factors and unforeseen events in the economy.
