Findings indicate a positive cointegration relation between inflation and investment spending. The findings do not support the view that inflation hampers investment. The results suggest that, in the long-run, lowering of inflation may lead to a small reduction in real investment in the United States. These results raise doubts on arguments for low-inflation targeting policy view for the United States that are based on a negative relation between inflation and real investment.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN En este artículo la relación empírica entre la inflación y el gasto de inversión son examinados usando los datos trimestrales de Estados Unidos. Los hallazgos indican una relación positiva de cointegración entre la inflación y el gasto de inversión; sin embargo, no apoyan el punto de vista de que la inflación impide la inversión. Los resultados sugieren que, en el largo plazo, una inflación más baja puede conducir a una pequeña disminución en la inversión real en Estados Unidos. Estos resultados levantan dudas sobre los argumentos de la política para la meta de baja inflación para Estados Unidos basados en una relación negativa entre la inflación y la inversión real.]]></p></abstract>
