The content of the chapter is set as follows. Section 2 presents an illustrative model of investment theory. Section 3, using this model, describes the investment decision of the firm. Sections 4 to 10 each present a "classical" investment hypothesis within the framework of the model. Section 11 concludes. For convenience, the key to the symbols used is given in Table 1. 2.
