摘要
Liquidity constrained firms may be under two very well identified investment regimes, constrained and unconstrained. In this paper I derive theoretical investment equations for both regimes and discuss the consequences of ignoring the specific form of the liquidity constrained regime. I also show that expressing the investment equation as a function of Tobin's q is by no means necessary in theory and in practice, in particular, it is not required to test for liquidity constraints.
