Abstract

El microcrédito es una modalidad de préstamos orientada a financiar microempresas, hogares y personas que tienen acceso limitado al mercado de crédito formal. Teniendo en cuenta que desde 2002 la cartera de microcrédito ha crecido en la mayoría del tiempo a un ritmo mayor que la cartera total del sistema financiero y que esta modalidad de préstamos presenta un deterioro en los indicadores de riesgo de crédito desde finales de 2011, el objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los principales determinantes de la morosidad de los deudores en el pago de los microcréditos. Con tal fin, se hace uso del concepto de Información Suave, que incluye variables socioeconómicas de los deudores y características de las microempresas para determinar su impacto sobre la probabilidad de mora. Usando las metodologías Probit y Logit multinomial se encuentra que entre 2002 y mediados de 2014, existe evidencia estadística a favor de la hipótesis de que variables tales como la edad del deudor, el género, el número de personas que tiene a su cargo, el tipo de vivienda en que vive, los años de experiencia en la actividad que desarrolla, entre otras, clasificadas dentro de la categoría de Información Suave, tienen una relación significativa con dicha morosidad.
