List six events that could cause a shift in the investment demand curve.
What will be an ideal response?
Six events would result from changes in the determinants of investment demand. For example, changes in the price, cost of operation, or maintenance of particular investment goods could cause the curve to shift; changes in business taxes favoring or penalizing investment could cause it to shift; a technological change favoring new investment could cause a shift; changes in the stock of capital goods on hand will cause the existing demand curve to shift; planned changes that firms desire to make to their inventory levels will cause the investment demand curve to shift; and changing expectations about future profits from investment would have an effect.
