Abstract

We test a q investment model for Belgium using a multivariate cointegration approach. The introduction of the degree of capacity utilization duc, in addition to investment and average q, is necessary to determine the cointegration space. This supports the idea that marginal q differs from average q by a factor which is a function of duc, as suggested by Licandro (1992).
