Business Fixed Investment and the Recent Business Cycle in Japan

No 5546, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: To analyze business fixed investment in Japan, which has been unusually volatile in recent years, we develop and apply a loglinear flexible accelerator model. We find that movements in business fixed investment are consistent with movements in output and the tax- adjusted cost of capital, both on average during our entire 1961-94 sample and during the recent 1986-94 business cycle.
