Abstract
The need to establish a relation between Gross Domestic Product and Communication sector was the major focus of this research. This research work investigated the contribution of Communication sector to the Gross Domestic product of Nigeria Economy. With the aid of ACF and PACF, ARIMA (1 1 1) was suggested for both variables. Alternative multivariate time series models used for the analysis were ARIMAV, MARDL and MARDL-MA models. The research has established interaction and interdependence between the two macroeconomic variables, and has also revealed that each of the variable has contributed significantly to each other at first time lag. The error variances of the bivariate time series model were derived for GDP and Communication sector. When comparing the three models for the two economic variables, ARIMAV model for Gross Domestic Product has the least error variance of 0.2183 making it the best model, while MARDL model for communication sector produced the least error variance of 0.0723, thereby indicating that MARDL model outperformed ARIMAV and MARDL-MA models for communication sector. Hence, this research has brought to focus the fact that performance of a model over another is predicated upon the nature of the economic data. That means there is no fixed multivariate time series model for a given macroeconomic data due to the dynamic nature of the time series.
