The focus is on the relationship between these factors and how their variation in time can affect access to finance. The study uses a rich dataset of small, medium and large firms from 109 countries, mostly of them emerging economies, and of country related search friction indicators. Results show that banking outreach indicators and informational infrastructure are strongly associated with access to finance. The percentage of internet users and its variation are the most relevant of the informational variables, especially for small and medium enterprises. For large firms, the changes in fixed phone subscriptions and in the proportion of branches by population are the most relevant frictions. Results shed light on the already identifiable role of internet on financial inclusion of SMEs, and on the difference search frictions make in the access to finance depending on firm’s size. / Esta dissertação investiga empiricamente o papel das fricções de busca não relacionadas a preços no acesso a financiamento por empresas. O foco está na relação entre elas, bem como no efeito das mudanças nesses indicadores nos níveis de acesso a financiamento. O estudo usa um rico conjunto de dados de pequenas, médias e grandes empresas de 109 países, a maioria países em desenvolvimento, e de indicadores de fricção de busca por país. Os resultados mostram que os indicadores de alcance bancário e de infraestrutura informacional estão fortemente associados ao acesso a financiamento. A porcentagem de usuários da internet e a sua variação são as mais relevantes dentre as variáveis informacionais, especialmente para pequenas e médias empresas. Para as grandes empresas, as variações no número de assinaturas de telefonia fixa e na proporção de agências bancárias pela população são mais relevantes. Os resultados esclarecem o papel já identificável da internet na inclusão financeira de PMEs e a diferença que as fricções de busca fazem no acesso a financiamento dependendo do tamanho da empresa.
