Khan, Mohsin, Rup Singh, Arvind Patel, and Devendra Kumar Jain. "An examination of house price bubble in the real estate sector: the case of a small island economy – Fiji." International Journal of Housing Markets and Analysis 14, no. 4 (February 25, 2021): 745–58. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/ijhma-05-2020-0056.
Purpose This paper aims to assess the equilibrium house price in the city of Suva (Fiji) and to analyse the house price bubble in the Fiji housing market. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopts a time series approach to determine the presence of house price bubbles in Fiji over the period from 1988 to 2018. Findings The findings suggest that real income, land cost, building material price, inflation rate, volatility, household size and wealth have a positive impact on house prices, whereas user cost of capital and political disturbances have a negative impact. The findings further indicate that the Fijis’ housing market does not constitute any house price bubble. Practical implications This paper draws policy implications for a small developing state (Fiji) and other similar economies. Originality/value The price bubble in the Fiji housing market is analysed for the first time. This paper develops a comprehensive empirical approach to assess the equilibrium-housing price in Fiji.
Industrialization has become one of the key strategies of development in the majority of the developing countries. Although not as committed to industrial transformation as the Newly Industrializing Countries, Fiji has, nonetheless, attempted to industrialize. Industrialization currently forms an important component of Fijian development strategy.
This thesis investigates the industrialization of Fiji. Although its main focus is the contemporary manufacturing sector, the manufacturing sector is placed in its historical context. Ten major questions are posed in the thesis. These questions cover the theoretical approaches to and empirical situation in Third World industrialization, Fiji's integration into the international economic system, and the structure and organization of the contemporary Fijian manufacturing sector. The remaining questions address manufacturing linkages, location, and the role of the state in industrialization. Data used in the thesis were derived from field surveys, informal interviews, and documentary sources. Data were analysed
using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences at the University of British Columbia. The thesis finds that the Fijian manufacturing sector makes a small contribution to the GDP, but that it is an important
component of the economy because of its close links with Fiji's most important foreign exchange earners. Although the volume of industrial production has increased in Fiji since independence, its share of the GDP has not altered significantly.
The manufacturing sector consists of a large number of small units and a small number of large units that provide the bulk of employment and output. Intra-manufacturing sector linkages are weak, but resource processing activities have strong backward linkages with the primary sector.
The state has maintained its commitment to the private sector since independence, although its ownership of the Fiji Sugar Corporation makes it an important direct producer in the manufacturing sector. State policies relating to the manufacturing sector have evolved steadily in Fiji, although the government
has not effectively co-ordinated them. The Fijian experience of industrialization provides both support and criticism of existing theoretical approaches to Third World industrialization, and suggests a greater need for synthesis in these approaches.

Sharma, Parmendra. "Financial Development in Fiji." Thesis, Griffith University, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10072/367099.
Fiji, a developing island economy in the East Asia and Pacific region, has been
experiencing modest growth for some time despite its ability to do better. Various
strategies to boost the growth levels, including major cross–sectoral reforms, have
yielded little success. Motivated by a recent and expanding finance–growth literature,
this study investigates the possibility of enhancing the country’s financial development.
Further financial development appears to depend importantly on designing appropriate
strategies to deal with obstacles and challenges relating to enhancing both the supply of
funds to the private sector and the demand for these funds. This study provides
strategies for dealing with two such likely important challenges in the case of Fiji—
legal institutions and alternative finance.
Prior to investigating and developing strategies in relation to these issues, the study
attempts to understand the financial sector’s past development trends and its current
strengths and weaknesses. This extensive analysis uses a recently available
comprehensive financial structure database to assess Fiji’s situation against 20
developing and developed countries across the Asia–Pacific region over a 33–year
period. Overall, it assesses Fiji’s relative banking and stock market development using
relevant composite indices constructed for the purpose. Specifically, it assesses the
size, activity and depth of Fiji’s sectors relative to the comparator countries. Findings
suggest positive past development of the banking sector but weak development of the
stock market. Further, the banking sector has become larger, deeper and more active
while the stock market remains small and largely inactive.
Legal institutions—encompassing the mandating of legal rights of the suppliers of funds
and the appropriate enforcement of their rights—have become widely accepted in the
literature as a major, possibly even the dominant, supply–leading determinant of
financial development. The legal theory asserts that the supply of funds is likely to be
better in countries with better legal institutions. The suppliers of funds include mainly
banks (providers of private sector credit) and shareholders (providers of stock market
equity). Thesis (PhD Doctorate) Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Griffith Business School Griffith Business School Full Text

The central question the thesis asks is how ready is the Fijian Government to respond to climate-induced cross border relocation of the Pacific Island communities from Kiribati and Tuvalu to Fiji? The thesis synthesises and analyses different sources of data to conceptualise and articulate a set of criteria for readiness that has not been explained elsewhere in the literature for climate change migration readiness. Extensive work remains for Fiji to meet the readiness criteria, which encompass: the role of law for cross-border relocation, institutional capacity, coordination, land availability, funding, a whole-of-community orientation, and the maintenance of cultural identity in the planning and implementation phases of cross-border relocation.

Gaunder, Padmini. "An Elusive Dream: Multiracial Harmony in Fiji 1970-2000." The University of Waikato, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/10289/2276.
The common perception of Fiji, which is unique in the South Pacific, is that of an ethnically divided society with the indigenous and immigrant communities often at loggerheads. This perception was heightened by the military coups of 1987, which overthrew the democratically elected government of Dr. Timoci Bavadra because it was perceived as Indian-dominated. Again in 2000, the People's Coalition Government headed by an Indian, Mahendra Chaudhry, was ousted in a civilian coup. Yet Fiji had been genuinely multiethnic for several decades (even centuries) before it became a colony in 1874. From then onwards, however, because of the policies of the colonial government, the society slowly became plural (in Furnivall's classic sense) as the different races were separated in almost every walk of life. Until the 1920s there were hardly any conflicts between Fijians and Indians. From the 1920s, however, the Fijians were taught to be wary of the Indians. After independence in 1970, the Alliance government under Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara followed a policy of multiracialism with the stated aim of bringing the different ethnic groups together in a society where people achieved some degree of integration in terms of a common national identity, while retaining their own separate traditions. But, more than thirty years later, Fiji still remains an ethnically divided society with hardly any integration. My research explores the reason for this failure. My thesis is that the failure arose from the kind of democratic system that the country adopted at independence. That is, the Westminster concept of government and opposition can be problematic in a multiethnic society if political parties are divided on ethnic lines rather than based on political ideologies. Ratu Mara was one Fiji leader who recognized this problem and had said that the confrontational Westminster system is not appropriate in a South Pacific island with a multiracial population. While Stephanie Lawson, Peter Larmour, Futa Helu and others have made some important contribution to this debate, my thesis will focus on an argument put forward by Michael Goldsmith on the role of the opposition, making a distinction between two kinds of pposition, confrontational and thoughtful . This thesis contends that the Westminster system that Fiji adopted at independence failed to bring integration in part because the National Federation Party (NFP) degenerated over the years from a 'thoughtful' and effective opposition to a 'confrontational', ethnic opposition.

The problem of developing values of ‘shared citizenship’ in Fiji has long been made difficult by ethnic difference and conflict. Existing literature on political and social relations in Fiji has failed to address the significance of the education system as a factor in bridging the ethnic divide. This study concerns the social capital of a rural town community
and how trust, as a bonding agent, can be shaped and strengthened through education.

This thesis aims to analyse social process in Fiji, with reference to Bourdieu, Giddens, Sahlins, Thomas and Toren. We can find quite peculiar characteristics in phases of Hie distinction derived Som a criterion of "urban / rural" in Fiji. There is a considerable contrast in the standard of living, lifestyle, economic system, ritual institution and values between urban and rural sphere. Taking account of the events in Waidracia village in Naitasiri Province and in Nasilai village in Rewa Province, in which the author had conducted his fieldwork, the tradition in Fiji is examined. The indigenous people, encountering various kinds of "objects", "ideas", "situations" and "acts", would objectify such circumstances in their own practical senses to make practices. There could occur some deviations or differentiae in their practices. As a result, some "objects", "ideas", "situations" and "acts" will persist, while others might be innovated It depends on the interaction among the agents' practices whether the tradition is persisted or innovated. Social process is understood as the accumulation of the agents' practices. The individual embodies various numbers of "distinctions", which depend on his or her position in society. Distinction provides the individual with a certain habitus. The individual as an independent agent chooses his or her own "purposive acts", led by the "practical sense" derived from habitus. On the other hand, we can construct a conceptual idea of "sphere", in which certain "purposiveness" is shared. Field research shows there is a common "spheric purposiveness" in a sphere, and the thesis examines how the forms of the practices yielded by the individuals in the sphere converge. The particular tendency of practices will reflect on the reproduction of individual habitus. Simultaneously, the individual habitus is also reproduced and transformed through the interactions between practices in different spheres.

Due to globalization and migration people and their cultures spread worldwide andcareer-guiding practitioners have to be more culturally considerate when they meetpeople. Our studies made in Fiji shows that there is a gap between thoughts regardingestimated income, education and effort in a workplace and actual labour-marketconditions. Educated and qualified Fijians look for work abroad when they can’t findemployment at home. One way to understand and describe what happens when peoplemake career decisions is to use career or decision-making theories, and a way to workwith career decisions and ideas about work is to have guidance-interviews or groupsessions. The aim of this paper is to present an example of how a recognized interviewmodel might be adapted for career guidance in a Fiji-context and what considerations that have to be made, through the explanations offered by a career theory, a decisionmaking theory and a guidance theory. Based on the life-story of a group of Fijians the result showed that the main considerations were regarding social structures and conceptions of time.

A large portion of infrastructure was flooded by water running off pavements or overflowing from the drainage systems in Fiji. The main objectives of this study are to identify the most suitable drainage management solution to reduce the overflow of the drainage system in Fiji, and to develop a framework of drainage management systems. The literature review was conducted to identify various drainage systems used to mitigate flooding around the world. After the review, the characteristics of Fiji such as climate pattern, location and soil type were analysed in the case study section. Secondary data which was obtained from Australia, Norway, the Netherlands, the U.S., Korea, and China were used in the research. The characteristics of Fiji were then mapped to other countries and a scoring system was created to analyse the suitability of different flood mitigation techniques in Fiji. Finally, multiple flood management strategies were proposed, and a drainage management framework for flood mitigation was developed.

For small developing countries such as Fiji being devoid of conventional energy resources such as petroleum products, coal or natural gas, there is always heavy, and in many cases total, reliance on conventional energy sources for transportation, industries and for electricity generation. Fiji, like most of its South Pacific island neighbours, has relied very heavily on petroleum products for all of these, except for electricity generation since 1983, when hydro-electricity became the major source of electricity for the country.

In response to unique species in Fiji which are threatened or endangered, and in critical need of effective conservation measures to ensure their survival, author Glenn Aguilar has produced an eMedia publication and learning research tool, called GIS For Conservation.The eMedia website hosts tutorial material, videos and modelling results for conservation management and planning purposes. Users will learn spatial analytical skills, species distribution modelling and other relevant GIS tools, as well as enhance ArcMap skills and the species distribution modelling tool Maxent. Accompanying the GIS For Conservation website is a peer-reviewed research report. The report details the case study and research methods that have informed the eMedia publication, focusing on the development of maps predicting the suitability of the Fiji Islands for longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae) that include endemic and endangered species such as the Giant Fijian Beetle Xixuthrus heros.
