AN ! The claim that an increase in the interest rate decreases investment supposes that only the interest rate changes and everything else is constant. The investment ta2 credit causes investment to rise at each interest rate. As firms want to /orrow more the interest rate will rise. The rise in interest rates does ma.e investment less than it would otherwise /e, /ut unless the supply of loana/le funds is vertical, the increase in investment demand from the ta2 credit is larger than the decrease in investment demand from the rising interest rate.
