The interest rate is generally considered as an important driver of macroeconomic investment characterised by a particular form of path dependency, "hysteresis". At the same time, the interest rate channel is a central ingredient of monetary policy transmission. In this context, we shed light on...

The interest rate is generally considered as a monetary policy tool and, at the same time, via Tobin's q, as an important driver of macroeconomic investment. As an innovation, this paper derives the exact shape of the "hysteretic" impact of changes in the interest rate on macroeconomic...

The interest rate is generally considered as an important driver of macroeconomic investment. As an innovation, this paper derives the exact shape of the “hysteretic” impact of changes in the interest rate on macroeconomic investment under the scenarios of both certainty and uncertainty. We...

The purpose of the study is to clarify a few possible causes for the delay in new investment projects. It is well known that anticipation of future economic environment and prices affects the current investment decisions of a firm. Gaussian processes are typically used to model returns or...

The real options tradition originally predicted a decreasing relationship between uncertainty and investment, through the positive effect of higher uncertainty on the trigger level for revenue relative to costs. An opposing effect on the probability of reaching the level has been identified,...

The paper presents a monetary policy model with an endogenous capital stock when a backward looking element in wage setting causes inflation persistence. We analyse how the endogeneity of the capital stock changes the macroeconomic dynamics with which policy interacts and its implications for...

En general, las diferentes teorias que se han planteado para explicar la inversion se basan en problemas de optimizacion dinamica cuyas soluciones cuentan con diferentes metodos. En dichos modelos, los valores optimos de las variables de control y de estado, etiquetadas como inversion y capital...
