| Abstract: | The author presents a model economy where policy uncertainty creates short-term bias in investment and leads to a higher capital price and lower long-run investment and output. He conducts a calibration exercise using a set of industry-level investment data across countries. Between the lowest-income and the higherst-income countries, policy uncertauínty can account for capital price and investment -level differences by a factor of about 3 and for the output-level difference by a factor of about 2. |
