I. INTRODUCTION
The question we address in this paper is whether the investment spending of at

(retained earnings), reflecting some constraint on the ability of these firms to
raise external finance (debt or new equity) for investment. The opposing view is
that the cost at which investment funds can be obtained, taken to be independent
of the amount invested, is the only financial consideration that matters in the
determination of investment.

spending will be more sensitive to fluctuations in economic activity than would
otherwise be the case. This could be an important factor in the propagation of
business cycles. If post-tax profits help to determine investment spending then
