This paper is a study of the impact of the cost of capital on corporate investment.
Empirically, high leverage and high cost of debt reduce investment. According to stan-
dard theory such as Abel and Blanchard (1986) or Zhang (2005) high cost of equity
has a negative eect on investment. When the CAPM, Fama and French (1993) or
Carhart (1997) models are used to infer the cost of equity, it has a positive eect on
investment. When factor-augmented vector autoregressive (favar) approach is used to
allow for a much wider range of determinants, the anomalous result persists. However,
when an implied cost of equity capital approach is used, the theoretically predicted
negative sign is observed.
