abstract = {This paper assesses if legal origin explains domestic, foreign, private and public
investments through financial intermediary channels of depth, efficiency, activity and size. The
findings show that legal origin matters in the finance-investment nexus, though its ability to
explain aggregate investment dynamics only through financial intermediary channels is limited
in the cases of private and public investments.},
