After the sharpest upheaval of the post-war period, the world's industrial countries are struggling, so far with mixed success, to get back on the path of balanced, non-inflationary growth. The United States has probably been the most successful. After a strong burst of growth in output and employment, many observers foresee a sharp slowing in the rate of advance. The shortfall in the recovery to date is easy to identify - a lack of private investment; and its cause - a failure of confidence. The uncertainly that plagues the investment commitment process today is embodied in investment calculations in the form of higher risk premiums and prevents a normal package of capital projects from meeting acceptable financial criteria.
The evidence of debilitatingly high-risk premiums is widespread and disturbing. Even in the United States, two years removed from the low of the cycle, plant and equipment investment is falling far short of what has typically prevailed at this stage of the business cycle. The shortfalls appear to be concentrated in longlived investments, particularly those for which profit expectations are especially skewed towards the later years of the investment: 8, 10, 15 years in the future. Worst hit are investments where high-risk premiums, acting heavily to discount expected future profit, make the present value of those prospective profits minimal.
