Economic Instability and Aggregate Investment
A recent literature suggests that because investment expenditures are irreversible and can be delayed, they may be highly sensitive to uncertainty. We briefly summarize the theory, stressing its empirical implications. We then use cross-section and time-series data for a set of developing and industrialized countries to explore the relevance of the theory for aggregate investment. We find that ...
متن کاملSecuritization and Aggregate Investment Efficiency
This paper studies the efficiency of competitive equilibria in economies where the expansion of investment is facilitated by securitization. We show that the use of securitization is generally associated with constrained inefficient aggregate investment, thereby justifying regulatory intervention in markets for securitized assets. We examine the effectiveness of three policy instruments to addr...
متن کاملDisasters and Development: Natural Disasters, Credit Constraints and Economic Growth
We demonstrate, using a simple two-period equilibrium model of the economy, the potential effects of extreme event occurrences such as natural or humanitarian disasters on economic growth over the mediumto long-term. In particular, we focus on the effect of such shocks on investment. We examine two polar cases; an unconstrained economy where agents have access to perfect capital markets, versus...
متن کاملAggregate Sentiment and Investment: An Experimental Study
We theoretically and experimentally study an investment game with fundamental state uncertainty and input complementarities—i.e., a global game environment. Our particular focus is on how a sentiment index, closely modeled after consumer confidence surveys, aggregates private information and influences investment. We find that a sentiment index produces very similar results to a highly informat...
متن کاملINVESTMENT and ECONOMIC GROWTH
We used unit root and cointegration techniques to determine the long run relationship between GDP and investment for 90 countries using data from World Bank for the period 1960-1992. In the first step of our analysis we found GDP and investment integrated of different orders for 33 countries. Second step of our analysis shows no cointegration between GDP and investment for 25 countries and coin...
