• Longitudinal surveys from Ministry of Economy• Panel of 2,650 enterprises from 2007 to 2009
– Formal enterprises with annual sales over $35,000
• Over 500 variables– Firm-specific characteristics
• Representation of surveyed firms by size:– Micro (12%); Small (33%); Medium (19%); &
Large (34%)

• Quasi-experimental research approach– Treatment depends discontinuously on
observable characteristic(s) of subjects• Intent to treat, or effect of eligibility• Restriction of sample around eligibility threshold
($750,000) within bandwidths:– 75% & 50% of threshold sales value of
eligibility

• As-if randomly assigned• Measurement error in survey data• Longer time horizon• Data coincides with financial crisis• Local treatment effect
– Results say nothing about effect of eligibility on eligible micro-enterprises

• From 2000 to 2009, Fogape backed 250,000 loans– Only 124,000 beneficiaries
• Larraín and Quiroz (2006) find that 87% of surveyed firms using Fogape after 2000 already had credit
• Second Longitudinal Survey 2011:
4/6/14
Of 369 firms that reported using Fogape, what percentage obtained their biggest loan in 2009 using:
Physical collateral 40%
Private guarantee 18%
Public guarantee 27%
Casting Doubt on Credit Rationing Assumption

• #2 constraint for Chilean enterprises, according to WB Enterprise Survey (2010), is: – “Inadequately educated workforce”
• Around 25% of small and 22% of medium firms identify inadequate labor force as main obstacle

Casting Doubt on Firm Productivity

• More research into whether Fogape is truly easing financial constraints on the right firms
• Review loan portfolio of participating lenders

Policy Recommendation (I)

27
• Coordinate Fogape with other SME targeting programs
• Lenders should set up meeting of borrowers at origination of loan with:– Technical Assistance Fund (FAT)– Technical Cooperation Services
(SERCOTEC)– Export Promotion Program (PROCHILE)
