dc.description.abstract | We examine the investment behavior of a sample of Polish industrial firms over the period 1991-1993 by means of a model that views investment flows as part of the firm's effort to adjust its assets and liabilities so as to maximize the returns to the firm. We argue that the application of neo-classical models of investment is only appropriate in cases where net investment is positive. If firms are seeking to reduce their capital stock, then the major constraints are not financial but rather set by the level of depreciation. This paper examines the adjustments undertaken by Polish firms and shows that firms that did make positive net investments in this period were influenced by their capital intensity, profitability and by their cost of and returns to financial assets. The explanatory power of the model is relatively high when compared to previous studies of the investment behavior of firms in transition economies. | en_US |
