A computational approach to liquidity-constrained firms over an infinite horizon

摘要

This paper examines the behavior of liquidity-constrained firms in a time-series. It illustrates that cash-shortage expectations induce a firm to hold liquid assets, which reveal a nonlinear relationship with the degree of financing constraints. This paper also argues that financial constraints could create serial correlation in a firm's internal funds even if exogenous shocks last for a single period of time.
