Abstract: | A common result from altering several fundamental assumptions of the neoclassical investment model with convex adjustment costs is that investment may occur in lumpy episodes. This paper takes a step back and asks "How lumpy is investment?" The authors answer this question by documenting the distributions of investment and capital adjustment for a sample of 13.700 manufacturing plants drawn from over 300 four-digit industries. |
