This paper analyzes a model of investment with fixed investment costs and capital market imperfections. In this model … finance influences the level of capital firms hold, as well as the frequency at which they invest. In consequence investment …, when the short-run investment function is estimated, liquidity has a significant impact, which is also strongest for strong …

Theoretically, they can alter the frequency at which investment projects are undertaken, or they can influence … finance on investment decisions is substantial. Consequently, finance primarily affects investment frequencies and accordingly …

The paper analyzes investment behavior of industrial enterprises in the period immediately following price and foreign … microeconomic decisions. A dynamic investment function with symmetric adjustment cost function based on the Euler equation has been … estimated. The derived and estimated investment function accounts for export sales in order to determine whether firms evaluate …

In this paper a model of aggregate investment is derived which incorporates fixed investment costs and capital market … imperfections on the micro-level. Aggregate investment reacts nonlinearily with respect to aggregate shocks to productivity and …-run effect of liquidity on investment is found, which is inconsistent with models that explain the empirical correlation of …

Holding the average one-period investment cost constant, policy uncertainty leads to a higher … capital price and subsequently to lower levels of long-run aggregate investment and output. Policy uncertainty also makes …
