Abstract: | The review uses advances in models of information and incentive problems to motivate those developments and challenges. First it describes the analytical underpinnings of contemporary models of capital-market imperfections in the investment process. The following sections describe studies using firm-level panel data, problems raised by existing studies, applications of the underlying models to a range of investment activities, including inventory investment, R&D, employment demand, pricing by imperfectly competitive firms, business formation and survival, and corporate risk management, and implications of the models for analyses of monetary and fiscal policy on investment. |
