Characterizing the 2014–16 Slowdown in Investment

Andrew Foerster

Macro Bulletin, 2017, 1-4

Abstract: Investment growth slowed from 2014 to 2016, a period when the overall economy was expanding. Using a statistical model, the author found a clear evidence that investment growth fluctuates between high and low growth regimes that usually correspond to expansions and recessions. However, during 2014?16, the investment sector experienced an isolated recession within an overall expansion, which is unusual by historical standards.
