Uncertainty, Financial Frictions, and Investment Dynamics
This paper analyzes—both empirically and theoretically—how fluctuations in uncertainty interact with financial market imperfections in determining economic outcomes. In a standard bond-contracting framework, an increase in uncertainty benefits equity holders at the expense of bondholders, and to the extent that firms face significant frictions in financial markets, increased uncertainty implies...
متن کاملUncertainty, Financial Frictions, and Irreversible Investment
Using macroand micro-level data, we establish three stylized facts: (1) fluctuations in idiosyncratic uncertainty can have a large effect on aggregate investment; (2) the impact of uncertainty on investment occurs largely through changes in credit spreads; and (3) financial shocks—identified vis-à-vis orthogonal innovations to credit spreads—have a strong effect on investment, irrespective of t...

متن کاملInvestment Frictions versus Financing Frictions
Bertola/Caballero (1994) and Abel/Eberly (1996) extended Jorgensons classical model of rmsoptimal investment. By introducing investment frictions, they were able to capture the role of future anticipations in investment decisions as well as the lumpy and intermittent nature of investment dynamics. We extend Jorgensons model to the other direction of nancing frictions. We construct a model ...
متن کاملPre-match investment with frictions
The paper explores an environment in which agents are motivated to make unproductive investments with the sole aim of improving their matching opportunities. In contrast to existing work, I add frictions by allowing the investment to be imperfectly observed. The analysis allows for a deeper understanding of the trade-off inherent in related models: investments waste resources but facilitates mo...
