The article explores how uncertainty affects firms' investment decisions in Pakistan. By analyzing data from 1988-2013, the researchers found that firms tend to reduce their investment when faced with higher uncertainty, whether it's firm-specific or macroeconomic. They also discovered that macroeconomic uncertainty has a greater impact on investment decisions than firm-specific uncertainty. Additionally, factors like debt levels and sales play a significant role in shaping firms' investment choices. The findings suggest that during economic instability, firms cut back on investments, which can slow down recovery. Policymakers are encouraged to create policies that incentivize firms to invest more during crises to boost economic growth and combat recessions.
