Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present the empirical results of an investigation into the links between investment stability and industrial structure in U.K. manufacturing industry. First, the alternative theoretical propositions concerning the influence of industrial structure on the stability of capital investment over the business cycle are discussed. This is followed by a description of the data and the specification of the variables used. Subsequently, the empirical results obtained from multivariate regression equations are analysed. The influence of industrial structure and diversification on the adjustment of capital stock and on the convergence of dynamic systems to equilibrium is then examined. Finally, the main conclusions drawn from the analysis are discussed. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die empirischen Ergebnisse einer Untersuchung über die Wechselbeziehung zwischen der Stabilität der Investitionen and der Wirtschaftsstruktur in der verarbeitenden Industrie Englands vorgelegt. Zuerst werden die verschiedenen theoretischen Hypothesen bezüglich der Einflüsse dargelegt, die die Investitionsstruktur im Konjunkturzyklus auf die Stabilität der Investitionen ausüben. Es folgen eine Beschreibung der Daten and die Spezifikation der berücksichtigten Variablen. Anschliessend werden die in den mehrdimensionalen Regressionsgleichungen gefundenen empirischen Ergebnisse analysiert. Schliesslich werden der Einfluss der industriellen Struktur and Diversifikation auf den Aktienkapitalbestand and auf die Stabilität dynamischer Systeme untersucht and die wichtigsten Schlussfolgerungen diskutiert. objet de cet article est la présentation des résultats empiriques d'une recherche or les liens entre la stabilité de l'investissement et la structure sectorielle dans industrie britannique. L'auteur présente tout d'abord les diverses propositions éoriques concernant l'influence de la structure sectorielle sur la stabilité de investissement en capital pendant un cycle économique. Vient ensuite une description des données et la spécification des variables utilisées. Une troisième artie analyse les résultats empiriques obtenus à l'aide d'équations de régression multiple. L'auteur étudie ensuite l'influence de la structure sectorielle et de la liversification sur l'ajustement du stock de capital et sur la convergence des systèmes dynamiques vers l'équilibre. L'article se termine par l'examen des principales conclusions tirées de l'analyse.
