K.}, issue = {2}, journal = {南太平洋研究, South Pacific Study}, month = {Jan}, note = {Private investment in Fiji has been stagnant since the mid eighties. This paper seeks to undertake an analysis of the causes behind the stagnation. The empirical analysis shows that government investment had a crowding-out effect on private investment despite its emphasis on public infrastructure. However, the relationship between the two is not robust. On the other hand, the relationships between private investment and growth expectations and past behaviour are statistically highly significant. Another major factor of importance which also emerged with statistical significance is the political climate which has been found not conducive for private investment. The immediate issue that has to be dealt with by government is with regard to improvement in private investor confidence.}, pages = {57--67}, title = {Private Investment in Fiji: 1977-1994 Did Government Investment Have Any Crowding-out Effect?}, volume = {18}, year = {1998} }
