We apply vector autoregression (VAR) to firm-level panel data from 36 countries to study the dynamic relationship between firms' financial conditions and investment. By using orthogonalized impulse-response functions we are able to separate the 'fundamental factors' (such as marginal profitability of investment) from the 'financial factors' (such as availability of internal finance) that influence the level of investment. We find that the impact of financial factors on investment, which indicates the severity of financing constraints, is significantly larger in countries with less developed financial systems. Our finding emphasizes the role of financial development in improving capital allocation and growth. (C) 2006 Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. All rights reserved.
