Abstract

This thesis examines the determinants of that part of national gross fixed investment which is undertaken by the private sector. Any investment process is subject to a number of separate time lags,and as a result, lagged explanatory variables were used in this study to explain the past trends and the recent surge in capital spending. The cashflow and q models distinguished themselves from other models as relatively accurate descriptive of investment spending. It should be noted, however, that the description of investment spending that appears to have worked well in the past does not have to work so well in the future because economic conditions change.
