Abstract
Does the market matter for more than investment? by Jason Smith examines how themultiple effects of the market (through stock prices) can affect a corporation. The mainfindings are that low stock prices precede lower costs and lower investments. The maininnovation of this work is showing that the market can matter for more than a simpleinvestment. Low stock prices imply that the market may disagree with investment and leadthe manager to reduce costs. This result does not appear to be driven by financial constraints.
