| h-lean conditions, seasonal, and ENSO-related (El Nine Southern Oscillation) variability in the vicinity of Wallis, Futuna, and Samoa islands (13 degrees-15 degrees S, 180 degrees-170 degrees W) over the 1973-1995 period are analysed for wind pseudostress, satellite-derived and in situ precipitation, sea surface temperature (SST) and salinity (SSS), sea level, and 0-450 m temperature and geostrophic current. The mean local conditions reflect the presence of the large scale features such as the western Pacific warm pool, the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ), and the South Pacific anticyclonic gyre. The seasonal changes are closely related to the meridional migrations of the SPCZ, which passes twice a year over the region of study. During the warm phase... |

| Stochastic dominance analysis was used to assess export performance in two Polynesian countries of similar size and structure that are both marginally endowed with natural resources: Samoa and Tonga. In general, total and agricultural export values declined over the study period in both countries, brought about by a significant decline in the value of agricultural exports while non- agricultural exports showed small increases. The one exception to this trend was in Tonga during the 1990s when squash exports brought about a revival in agricultural export values. Results suggest that these countries are likely to struggle to achieve sustainable economic development, given their limited natural resource endowments. The fisheries sector holds the key to... |
