This feeble interface between knowledge base and policy formulation reduces the latter to a subject of intuitive judgment. This paper uses a schematic analysis approach to examine the relationship between policy space, social scientist and economy performance in Nigeria. The paper found that the input of policy research which should necessarily underscore economic reforms is inadequate and not effective. These adverse weaknesses are assumed to have substantiated the economic downtrodden in Nigeria. We recommend that the limited interface between research knowledge and policy needs to be bolstered by improving direct contact between the users and producers.

Using a simple macroeconomics model of domestic absorption and predictive averages, the result reveals that HIV/AIDS has a general negative impact on domestic absorption and growth. The result also shows that in the HIV/AIDs scenarios, a general negative (decrease) in domestic absorption was observed.
