Abstract
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it contributes to the long-running debate on the role of how uncertainty affects firms' investment decisions. Our results show that uncertainty is negatively correlated with investment. Secondly, it shows the desirability of a common European economic policy oriented both to the support and the stabilization of aggregate demand.
