SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

6.4 Agenda for future research

IIT is very wide in scope; hence a single study may not be able to cover all the aspects of IIT. Similarly, the scope of this study was limited to three selected countries in ECOWAS against the EU. Future study can redefine this scope to have more insight and information needed for policy making between the two regions.

 Although the three ECOWAS countries considered in this study account for about 80 per cent of the region‘s export, more ECOWAS countries could be considered in future studies

 The EU countries were considered as a region in this study, future research could consider the individual EU countries that are major ECOWAS trade partners.

 Only product of goods were analysed in this study, future research could be done on IIT in services between the trade partners.
