The purpose of this work is to verify the existence of financial constraints for investment in Brazil, an emerging … market with growing international visibility. Using panel data methodology and GMM, we estimate dynamic investment models … based on the Euler equation and Tobin's q for a panel dataset of 199 Brazilian nonfinancial firms for the time period 1995 …

We use the stochastic frontier approach to estimate the impact of firm characteristics on investment decisions of Indian firms during the 1997-2006 period. The use of the stochastic frontier approach allows us to define the (unobserved) optimum investment that is consistent with a firm's...

We aim at obtaining a simple quantitative rule for the joint determining of optimal corporate investment and financing policies in an intertemporal setting. A novel general continuous-time framework, inspired by the optimal portfolio design literature, is first built. We derive the optimal...

We study the effects of uncertainty on corporate leverage adjustments with respect to investment spikes and find that overlevered and underlevered firms behave very differently in response to the combination of uncertainty and investment spikes. Overlevered firms facing high uncertainty converge...

We take a simple q-theory model and ask how well it can explain external financing anomalies, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Our central insight is that optimal investment is an important driving force of these anomalies. The model simultaneously reproduces procyclical equity issuance...

This paper provides an alternative perspective on the firm-level empirical analysis of the relation between foreign ownership and capital demand adjustment in host countries. The author estimates a dynamic structural model of investment on a sample of 4,672 Belgian firms for the period 2003 -...

We survey recent microeconometric research on investment and employment that has used panel data on individual firms or … for dynamic factor demand equations in the context of micro panel data for firms or plants. We then discuss a number of …

In this paper the corporate investment decision under financial restrictions is investigated with Belgian firm data from 1984 to 1992. An investment Euler equation is derived from a dynamic optimization model with debt ceilings and an elastic credit supply. The model is estimated by GMM for...
