Abstract

In this paper we examine the link among foreign direct investment (FDI), domestic credit expansion, and economic growth for six Pacific Island countries. Using data over 1982-2011, we relate the interaction between domestic credit to private sector and FDI and its impacts on output. With employment of cointegration analyses and the generalized methods of moments estimator, our empirical analyses show that FDI and domestic credit to private sector serve as substitutes to promote output in Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Tonga; they are complementary in enhancing output in Samoa, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
