Papua New Guinea economic survey - a response to Curtin

In this short response to Dr Curtin, I attend to the substantiative issues which are \nrelatively simple to address: these in the main \ninclude questions of facts, namely, on price \nincreases for exports; the ability of farmers of \ntree crops to respond to price signals over \nthe short term; and, qualms about the poverty \nfigures and the reported infant mortality rate \nprovided by the World Bank.
