Abstract
The study of the link between price volatility, measured in the inflation index, and knowledge asset investment is a topic under intense research. Knowledge asset investment is moving with inflation shocks (high synchronicity), particularly at the troughs and peaks of a business cycle. This research investigates the influence of inflation shocks on knowledge asset investment. Previous studies do not provide a piece of direct empirical evidence on the impact of inflation shocks on knowledge asset investment that is available. We employ panel structural vector autoregression to explore the short and long-run effects of inflation shocks on knowledge asset investment in 29 advanced economies from 1995 to 2019. Our empirical results prove a strong and statistically significant connection between knowledge asset investment and price volatility. In addition, we identify a robust empirical link between knowledge asset investment and the inflation index. The findings further indicate that the inflation index determines knowledge asset investment. Our work contributes to technology innovation, asset allocation, and price-level research to inspire novel research on knowledge asset investment.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Business Research aims to publish research that is rigorous, relevant, and potentially impactful. It examines a wide variety of business decision contexts, processes, and activities, developing insights that are meaningful for theory, practice, and/or society at large. The research is intended to generate meaningful debates in academia and practice, that are thought provoking and have the potential to make a difference to conceptual thinking and/or practice. The Journal is published for a broad range of stakeholders, including scholars, researchers, executives, and policy makers. It aids the application of its research to practical situations and theoretical findings to the reality of the business world as well as to society. The Journal is abstracted and indexed in several databases, including Social Sciences Citation Index, ANBAR, Current Contents, Management Contents, Management Literature in Brief, PsycINFO, Information Service, RePEc, Academic Journal Guide, ABI/Inform, INSPEC, etc.
