Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines the analytical and empirical linkages btw. cash flow, uncertainty (henceforth as: unc-y.), and capital investment behaviour (here as: inv-beh.) of the firm. The empirical approach develops measures of own- and market-specific unc-y. from firms' daily stock returns and S&P 500 index returns along with a CAPM-based risk measure. It is found that even in the presence of important firm-specific variables, unc-y. is an important determinant of firms' inv-beh. Depending on the measure of unc-y. used, investment may be stimulated or curtailed by the effects of unc-y. on its own or through its interactions on cash flow. |
