À l'aide de données de panel, l'auteur évalue la sensibilité de l'investissement des entreprises non financières À leurs flux de trésorerie en tenant compte du rôle que leur santé financière joue dans leurs décisions d'investissement. Les entreprises sont classées au moyen d'un indicateur contemporain du stress financier qui est inversement lié À la probabilité de défaillance financière des entreprises, appelé score Z. À l'aune de ce critère, les résultats empiriques donnent À penser que les entreprises dont l'investissement est le plus sensible aux flux de trésorerie présentent le plus faible score Z moyen. L'auteur montre également que, dans cette catégorie d'entreprises, l'investissement semble déterminé en partie par un conservatisme excessif ou par un motif de précaution.
The author uses panel data to assess the sensitivity of investment to cash flow in non-financial firms, taking into account the role their financial health plays in investment decisions. Firms are categorized using a method called the Z-score, a contemporaneous indicator of financial stress that is inversely related to firms' probability of financial failure. Based on this method, empirical evidence suggests that firms that have the greatest sensitivity of investment to cash flow display the lowest average Z-score. The author also shows that, in this class of firms, investment seems to be partly driven by excessive conservatism, or precaution.
