We develop a model of investment with financial constraints and use it to investigate the relation between investment … between q and investment, relative to the frictionless benchmark. We present a calibrated version of the model, which, due to … this effect, generate realistic correlations between investment, q, and cash flow …

heterogenous firms facing borrowing constraints and investment irreversibility, it is shown that financial liberalization increases … the lumpiness of firm-level investment but decreases the variance of aggregate output. Hence, the model predicts that …

This force also generates a procyclical response of consumption to … investment shocks, leading our model to infer a central role for these shocks as a source of business cycles. …

Is monetary policy less effective at stimulating investment during periods of elevated volatility (when all firms … elevated volatility leads to a decrease in extensive margin investment incentive so that nominal stimulus generates less … aggregate investment. To do this, I first document empirically that high volatility weakens firms' investment responses to …

The paper develops a model of firm´s investment under uncertainty with financial market imperfections and analyzes the … effects of financial constraints on firm´s investment. Firm´s investment is an increasing function of the firm´s marginal q …, however the investment function is characterized by an upper bound that depends on the firm´s borrowing capabilities. The firm …
