Abstract: The study examined the relationship between inflation and economic growth for the period 1985 to 2013 using empirical evidence from Nigeria. The Engel-Granger two-step cointegration procedures and Error Correction Model (ECM) were used as the method of estimation. The analyses of residuals of the OLS regression showed evidence in favour of cointegration between inflation and economic growth. Similarly, estimates from the error correction model provide evidence to show that the proxy for inflation and GDP series converge to a long-run equilibrium at a reasonably fast rate.........

To make a distinction from old fashioned religious traditions a wave of brash new and lively religious movements (known as "new new religious movements) has come into prominence in Japan, during the 1980s.
