| dc.description.abstract | My paper examines the impact of economic policy uncertainty on firm investment for listed firms in Japan. Employing the economic policy uncertainty index developed by Davis, Arbatli, Ito, and Miake (2019). I find that economic policy uncertainty has an adverse relationship with firm investment in Japan and that this adverse impact is much stronger for firms with irreversible investment and financial constraints. My paper contributes to the literature by being the first to investigate the dynamic impact of policy uncertainty on firm investment in Japan. | en_US |
