摘要:We formulate and estimate a structural model of rm investment behavior that speci es the exact channel through which nancial fric- tions bite. The model also allows for the existence of both convex and non-convex costs to adjusting capital. Essentially, we move beyond simply testing and rejecting a neoclassical model without frictions. Our quantitative estimates show that both real and nancial frictions have an important e¤ect on rm investment dynamics.
