Abstract
The accelerator model of investment in its empirical formulation dominates nearly all other models of investment behavior throughout the world. This paper examines this model in the context of French data and contends that the empirical superiority of the model is spurious, being largely related to simultaneous equation bias. As an alternative, an income or profits based model is shown to be at least as creditable a description of the data once scope for this bias is removed.
