Q-theory predicts that investment frictions steepen the relation between expected returns and firm investment. Using … constrained firms. There is no evidence that q-theory with investment frictions explains the investment growth, net stock issues …, abnormal corporate investment, or net operating assets anomalies. Limits-to-arbitrage proxies dominate q-theory with investment …
