Resumen

Este artículo documenta la relación entre el desarrollo financiero regional y el crecimiento empresarial en el sector manufacturero peruano. Para controlar la causalidad mutua entre la disponibilidad de crédito y el crecimiento empresarial, se aprovechan las diferencias entre industrias en cuanto a su dependencia financiera de fondos externos. Se utilizan los censos económicos nacionales de 1994 y 2008, lo que permite un análisis a nivel de empresa y de actividad económica. Los resultados sugieren un efecto significativo y positivo del desarrollo financiero en el crecimiento de las empresas supervivientes. Sin embargo, este efecto es menor en las microempresas, lo que sugiere que el costo del financiamiento externo disminuye con el desarrollo financiero, principalmente para las grandes empresas. Las conclusiones se mantienen incluso al incluir empresas que entran y salen del mercado. Además, el estudio encuentra que la expansión del crédito ha fomentado no solo el crecimiento empresarial, sino también la entrada de nuevas empresas. Los resultados son robustos utilizando una medida alternativa de dependencia financiera.
