Determinants of private investment in developing countries
基于五个发展中国家的数据，检验了政府投资、银行信贷和资本流入对私人投资的影响，并评估了政府投资的促进与挤出效应。
Abstract This paper examines a modified version of the flexible accelerator theory of investment with particular reference to developing countries. The empirical results for five countries tend to confirm that government investment, the change in bank credit to the private sector and capital inflow to the private sector play important roles in determining private investment. The contributory effect and the crowding‐out effect of government investment are assessed within the context of a recursive model. Notes International Monetary Fund, Washington, D.C.
