| Abstract: | Using a panel of manufacturing firms in the United Kingdom (U.K.) to deal with the existence of a balance sheet channel, this paper examines the cash flow sensitivity (henceforth as: c-f-s.) of investment. Furthermore, it is examined the extent to which investment becomes more sensitive to cash flow in monetary tightness periods (herein as: m-t-prs.) by using a narrative indicator built for the U.K. It is found that c-f-s. in financially constrained firms is higher during m-t-prs. and that financial constraints deteriorate with financial market sophistication. |
