distribution of investment rates. We then present two pieces of econometric evidence on these issues. First, we estimate a discrete … hazard model to determine the probability of having an episode of high investment, conditional on the length of the interval … from the last high investment episode and we discuss what the empirical results suggest about the shape of the adjustment …

This paper evaluates the effects of fiscal policy on investment using a panel of OECD countries. In particular, we … investigate how different types of fiscal policy affect profits and , as a result, investment. We find a sizable negative effect … of public spending -- and in particular of its public wage component -- on business investment. This result is consistent …

We then explore this hypothesis using panel data information for UK companies over twenty years …. Our data generally support the view that monetary instability may affect investment allocation through its effect on the …
