Abstract: In this paper, we build a novel model of flight-to-quality cycles and investment. We show that informational frictions can lead to flight-to-quality cycles. Also, this fluctuation leads to diverse investment decisions where the issuers who are perceived as low types under-invest ex-ante, and inefficiently liquidate projects ex-post. The smaller is the ex-ante probability of a flight-to-quality event, the larger is the ex-post spread and the inefficient liquidation.
