Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Among the 14 Pacific island countries, (PICs) Fiji, with its relatively better endowments in land and human resources as well as physical infrastructure, has been one of the ten favourite destinations of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Asia-Pacific. The gains from FDI include not only creation of employment in those sectors, which attracted overseas investors, but also additional employment opportunities in ancillary sectors, which are supportive to all production oriented activities in the economy. This paper undertakes an economentric study of the impact of FDI in Fiji during a 30-year period. The study results confirm that FDI contributed to employment creation and economic growth.
