Financial constraints, information asymmetry and Tunisian firm investment

The aim of this paper is to empirically analyze the effect of financial constraint, information asymetry on the firm investment. On the basis of a data relating to 394 Tunisian firms observed over the period 2001-2008 and by adopting the panel data method, our findings show that the effect of financial constraints varies according to the number of bank-firm relations, the funding mechanisms and the investment type.
