Global Business and Economics Review, 2021, vol. 24, issue 2, 147-165

Abstract: Investment analysis at regional level has remained a major thrust area among policymakers for balanced regional development of an economy. This paper assesses the drivers of corporate investment in India using a panel data of 16 states for the period 1999-2017. The study employs generalised method of moments (GMM) estimators and gives more focus on financial condition-based dimension which has been overlooked by the existing literature. The way in which financial conditions affect the firms' investment decision is important for an effective design of monetary policy. Empirical results confirm the roles of various factors with varying magnitude and direction. These factors include, fiscal policy, access of financial resources - be it the bank credit or the internal source of finance, the efficiency components covered through productivity and costs, infrastructural facilities, government effectiveness and financial pressure variables.
