Abstract:
This study investigates investment-cash flow sensitivity during the COVID-19 economic crisis. Using an international sample of publicly listed firms, we find that the sensitivity of capital expenditures to cash flows is significantly reduced during the crisis. When we split the sample into strongly and weakly affected countries, we find that firms in countries affected more seriously by COVID-19 exhibit lower investment responsiveness to cash flows. We further find that investment-cash flow sensitivity is diminished when government aid is greater, firms have more cash on hand, and investment opportunities decline. Our results survive a host of robustness checks. This study contributes to the discussion on the impact of COVID-19 on corporate policies within an international framework.

Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.

Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the...
