This paper presents five theoretical openness-and-growth links that can account for trade-induced investment-led growth …, cross-country data suggests that openness influences growth only via its effect on investment, and suggests that openness … promotes investment in all countries whatever the capital-intensive of their exports (contrary to predictions of the old …

novel theoretical model that establishes a link between trade liberalization and investment-led growth. Estimating equations … domestic protection depresses investment and thereby slows growth. Foreign trade barriers also lower domestic investment, but … the anti-investment effect is weaker and is less robust to sample and specification changes …

This … assumption is strongly counterfactual: in the postwar US, the share of services value added in investment expenditure has been … investment and consumption. Our unified approach leads to three new insights: technological change is endogenously investment …

This paper presents an overview of current models of consumption and investment behavior. First, the stochastic … critical discussion of the Ricardia Equivalence Theorem. Investment behavior is analyzed using a dynamic optimization model of … theory. The model is then used to analyze the interaction of corporate taxes, inflation and investment and also to analyze …
