Resumen
This article tests the existence of the transmission channel of monetary policy, through the balance sheet, for the Colombian economy and, specifically, for the manufacturing sector. To this effect, following closely the theoretical guidelines on the topic, different responses are sought to the policy shock, depending on company sizes in the sample. Data were obtained from the balance sheets of companies that reported to the Superintendency of Companies for the period 2002-2013. The results provide evidence on the existence of the balance sheet channel within the sector. In addition, according to what was theoretically expected, it is observed that the investment of small companies has a greater sensitivity to monetary policy shocks, which is possibly due to the fact that these companies face higher informational costs.
