Abstract

Este trabajo analiza el efecto a nivel de las firmas del ciclo crediticio que se observó en Colombia a lo largo de la década de los noventa. Con base en el enfoque estándar de la ecuación de Euler para la inversión y un amplio panel de datos para firmas de varias ramas de la actividad económica, en el período de 1991 a 2001, se explora la naturaleza de las restricciones financieras que tuvieron que enfrentar las empresas colombianas para poder financiar su gasto de inversión. Los resultados señalan que las firmas colombianas sí enfrentan imperfecciones en el acceso a recursos externos, que son particularmente más acuciantes para las empresas con un mayor grado de apalancamiento y menor tamaño. Así mismo, se muestra evidencia de que la contracción crediticia de finales de los noventa generó nuevas fricciones para la totalidad de las firmas en estudio. De hecho, al caracterizar dichas restricciones,se concluyó que la dificultad de las firmas restringidas para acceder a nuevos créditos, luego de 1998, se explica más por limitada disponibilidad de recursos (credit crunch), que por el costo de los mismos (tasa de interés)
