Figure 6.17 Tobin’s q=1 in a world of no adjustment costs (a) Present value of MPK, cost of capital 1 MPK 1 MPK=Marginal return of new investment C If there were no costs of adjustment, the present value of the marginal cost of capital would be independent of the investment rate. Note if there were no depreciation, the investment rate, I/K, =  K/K, the rate of change of the capital stock. Fig Investment rate (I/K)

Figure 6.17 Tobin’s q (b) Present value of MPK, cost of capital A 1 Marginal cost of investment MPK 1 MPK 2 B With the investment rate corresponding to the rate at point A, in the following period there will be more capital and a lower MPK. The investment rate next period will fall too (as will Tobin’s q), ultimately heading toward a value of unity and no more investment. Fig Investment rate (I/K) MPK=Marginal return of new investment
