Tiivistelmä: | This study examines nonlinear (hereafter as: n-l.) effects of debt on investment using an unbalanced panel of over 90 Dutch listed nonfinancial firms from 1985 to 2000. It is shown that the n-l. relation btw. debt and investment can be represented by a U curve, contradicting the financial constraints theory. One possible explanation of the U curve relation may be the debt capital gain in the presence of inflation. |
