Abstract: Purpose - This paper aims to examine the export‐led growth hypothesis for Fiji and Papua New Guinea (PNG). Design/methodology/approach - The paper investigates the export‐led growth hypothesis for Fiji and PNG who have been facing dismal economic growth performances over the last couple of decades. Findings - Findings of the study suggest that for Fiji there is evidence of export‐led growth in the long‐run, while for PNG there is evidence of export‐led growth in the short‐run. Originality/value - The findings of this paper have important messages for policy makers given that export sectors in both countries investigated are underdeveloped due mainly to a sustained period of political instability.
