This paper examines the growth experience of nine South Pacific countries during the period 1971-93, using the analytical framework of the Solow-Swan neoclassical growth model, panel data, and Chamberlain's Î-matrix estimator. The speed of convergence of South Pacific countries to their...

This paper examines the determinants of growth for nine South Pacific countries during the period 1971-93, using the analytical framework of the Solow-Swan neoclassical growth model. Chamberlain’s II-matrix estimator is used to account for unobserved country-specific heterogeneity in the...
