Answer to Question 1

If firms believe that GDP will continue to increase into the future, they may want to invest in anticipation of high future demand for their products. Similarly, if GDP falls and firms believe that this will continue into the future, they are less likely to invest, as their expectation of the future seems less lucrative.
