We analyse whether private investments are impacted asymmetrically by public investments and how any asymmetry evolves over time. We conduct time series analyses for France and the US within a flexible empirical framework exploiting quarterly data over 1960Q1–2022Q4. The results are summarized as follows: France's private investments are positively impacted by public investments both in the short- and long-run; public investments have a neutral or negative effect on private investments in the US; the asymmetric effects in France become significant and persistent after 10 quarters; some evidence of asymmetry emerges for the US in the long-run.

Abstract
We analyse whether private investments are impacted asymmetrically by public investments and how any asymmetry evolves over time. We conduct time series analyses for France and the US within a flexible empirical framework exploiting quarterly data over 1960Q1–2022Q4. The results are summarized as follows: France's private investments are positively impacted by public investments both in the short- and long-run; public investments have a neutral or negative effect on private investments in the US; the asymmetric effects in France become significant and persistent after 10 quarters; some evidence of asymmetry emerges for the US in the long-run.
