Abstract
This paper has explored the determinants of industry investment in a cross-section and time-series study for West Germany and Great Britain. The underlying Q model of investment behaviour is formulated on the basis of profit-maximizing firms which are supposed to be constrained in the product market. The model is estimated for a sample of 12 industries and 11 years (1975 - 1985). The results obtained confirm the view that lagged Q exert a significant influence on investment. Finally, a significant impact of output terms irrespective of Q was found.
