Investment facing credit rationing

Article Abstract:

Three important implications follow from the explicit expression of convex adjustment costs and investment facing credit rationing. Credit rationing can replace convex adjustment costs to obtain an investment function, and is used as a fiscal stop-check when collateral is low and investment demand is high. Explicit expression allows misspecification to be checked in empirical work.
