The table reports the median values of corporate investment (i.e. the annual change in gross fixed assets, either tangible or intangible, scaled by the beginning-of-year total assets) split by constraint-group and the p-value associated with the test of the equality of the median between the constrained observations and the unconstrained observations. constrained firms refer to firms that declare themselves as cash or investment credit constrained as explained in Section 3. All the definitions of the variables are summarized in Table 3. *** indicates significance at the 1% level, ** at the 5% level, and * at the 10% level
