Indeterminacy and Investment Adjustment Costs
It has been widely known that neoclassical growth models with su¢cient increasing returns in production may feature indeterminacy. This note shows that investment adjustment costs increase the required degree of increasing returns for indeterminacy to arise. Under empirically plausible levels of investment adjustment costs, we need implausibly large degree of increasing returns to generate inde...
متن کاملAn Exact solution for the investment and value of a firm facing uncertainty, adjustment costs, information costs and irreversibility
Following the analysis in Abel and Eberly (1997), I derive closed-form solutions for the investment and value of a competitive firm with a constantreturns-to-scale production function and convex costs of adjustment. The analysis concerns reversible and irreversible investments under incomplete information. Optimal investment seems to be a non-decreasing function of q, the shadow value of capita...
متن کاملOptimal Investment with Lumpy Costs
In this paper we analyze a continuous-time model of investment with uncertainty, irreversibility and a broad class of lumpy adjustment costs. We show that the two components of the optimal investment strategy, the investment trigger and the investment increment, can be found sequentially, and that the optimal investment increment maximizes a closed form function. Solving the model numerically, ...
متن کاملCorporate Tax Policy and Long-Run Capital Formation: The Role of Irreversibility and Fixed Costs
This paper presents an analytically tractable continuous-time general equilibrium model with investment irreversibility and fixed adjustment costs. In the model, there is a continuum of firms that are subject to idiosyncratic shocks to capital. Although the presence of investment frictions lowers consumer welfare, it may raise or reduce the long-run average capital stock, depending on the degre...
متن کاملOptimal investment and consumption with transaction costs
An agent can invest in a high—yield bond and a low—yield bond, holding either long or short positions in either asset. Any movement of money between these two assets incurs a transaction cost proportional to the size of the transaction. The low—yield bond is liquid in the sense that wealth invested in this bond can be consumed directly without a transaction cost; wealth invested in the high—yie...
