Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In this paper a variant of the accelerator model of investment, augmented with the real rate of interest, is estimated for Fiji. Our estimates with two alternative techniques viz., the LSE-Hendry GETS and the Johansen Maximum Likelihood methods (JML) indicate that the long-run output elasticity is unity and the interest rate elasticity is high at -0.40. Therefore, the recent interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of Fiji (RBF) are likely to depress the already depressed investment climate in Fiji. Furthermore, our estimates show that the expected rate of inflation and political uncertainties have significant negative impact on private investment.
