Abstract

In the post-pandemic era, increasing productivity is a crucial direction for Fiji’s stable economic development. This study employs the ARDL-EC model and economic data over the period 1998–2020 to analyze the impacts of information technology, trade, and environmental regulations on labor and capital productivity in Fiji. The results indicate that information technology has a consistently positive effect on productivity in both the short and long run. Trade has a negative effect on labor productivity in both the short and long run, but a positive effect on capital productivity in the long run. Environmental regulations have a positive effect on labor productivity in both periods. In contrast, environmental regulations constrain capital productivity in the short run but promote it in the long run. Our research provides in-depth policy insights for Fiji, highlighting diversified pathways to productivity growth.
