Abstract
We examine the causality and influence of residential and non-residential i nvestment with respect to GDP and its components in a multivariate, vector autoregressive context, with some care devoted to the appropriate orthogona lization of the shocks which drive the various components of GDP. We find t hat residential investment shocks are more important in the determination o f GDP than non-residential investment shocks.
