Abstract

We investigate the link between investment-cash flow sensitivities and irreversibility in a panel of unlisted firms from transition economies. We observe that only firms facing low irreversibility exhibit high and precisely determined sensitivities. Our findings provide a new explanation for why some financially constrained firms may exhibit low sensitivities.
