Abstract

El microcrédito es una modalidad de préstamos que está enfocada a financiar la microempresa, la cual generalmente ha presentado acceso limitado a los mercados de crédito formales. En los años más recientes, el microcrédito en Colombia ha presentado un rápido crecimiento, y a pesar de ser un crédito de bajo monto, concentra un gran número de deudores. Es por ello que esta clasificación de crédito llama la atención sobre cuáles son los efectos que está teniendo sobre los microempresarios colombianos, en especial por el hecho de que gran parte de las instituciones enfocadas en este mercado aplican tecnología microcrediticia. Debido a la escasa información que hay al respecto, este estudio utiliza la base de datos de una institución que otorga microcrédito en Colombia y un grupo de control basado en encuestas nacionales. Los principales resultados sugieren que esta financiación puede tener un impacto positivo, pero decreciente, sobre las ganancias de los micronegocios. Sin embargo, existen microempresas donde no se observan estos crecimientos, lo cual puede estar asociado a una ubicación geográfica lejana de las actividades de la microfinanciera.
