Determinants of Investment Cash Flow Sensitivity
将企业按投资现金流敏感性分为高、低、负三类，发现该敏感性与财务约束、现金流和增长机会呈非单调关系，负敏感企业现金流最低、增长机会最高且财务约束最强。
I classify firms into groups of high, low, and negative sensitivity. I find that investment‐cash flow sensitivity is nonmonotonic with respect to financial constraints, cash flows, and growth opportunities. Firms classified as negative cash flow sensitive have the lowest cash flows, highest growth opportunities, and appear the most financially constrained. Cash flow insensitive firms have the highest cash flows, lowest growth opportunities, and appear the least financially constrained. To a large extent, the negative relationship between cash flow and investment is driven by the opposite trends followed by investment and cash flow, as firms grow through stages of their life cycle.
