In this paper we describe a theoretical model of optimal investment of various types of financially constrained firms …. We show that the resulting relationship between internal funds and investment is non-monotonic. In particular, the … magnitude of the cash flow sensitivity of the investment is lower for firms with credit rationing compared to firms that are …
