Abstract

In this article, we have estimated a neo-classical model of investment augmented with real rate of interest to proxy the user cost of capital for Bangladesh. Our results reveal that there is a equilibrium relationship between investment output ratio, real output and real rate of interest. The long run relationship persists even in the presence of structural breaks in the model.
