Zusammenfassung:This research aims to show the cognitive constraints experienced by resulting from financial concerns and problems. A case study was conducted involving eight individuals living in different Colombian cities, who got into debt and faced an insolvency process. The results obtained are consistent with the theoretical-empirical framework proposed by Mullainathan and Shafir (2013), regarding the cognitive strain experienced by individuals with feeling of scarcity. This work contributes to the existing empirical literature and represents a first step toward the existence of a debt illiquidity trap that drives debtors to perpetuate their critical financial situation. Keywords: over-indebtedness, scarcity, scarcity trap, attention, judgment and decision- making. La presente investigacion pretende demostrar la existencia de un agotamiento de la funcion cognitiva de los deudores producto de un acaparamiento de su atencion respecto de las preocupaciones y problemas financieros. Con ese fin, se entrevistaron ocho personas residentes en tres ciudades colombianas que padecieron un escenario de endeudamiento problematico y se sometieron al tramite de insolvencia. Los resultados obtenidos resultan consistentes con la propuesta teoricaempirica de Mullainathan y Shafir (2013) acerca del desgaste cognitivo de las personas con sensacion de escasez. Este documento contribuye al trabajo empirico desarrollado por la literatura hasta la fecha y representa un primer paso hacia la existencia de una trampa de iliquidez por deuda que lleva a los deudores a perpetuar su situacion financiera critica. Palavras-chave: superendividamento, escassez, armadilha de escassez, atencao, julgamento e tomada de decisoes. Esta pesquisa visa demonstrar a existencia de um esgotamento da funcao cognitiva dos devedores como resultado de uma concentracao de sua atencao em preocupacoes e problemas financeiros. Para tanto, o caso de oito pessoas residentes em tres cidades colombianas que sofreram um cenario de endividamento problematico e passaram por um processo de insolvencia foi estudado por meio de entrevistas. Os resultados obtidos sao consistentes com a proposta teorico-empirica de Mullainathan e Shafir (2013) sobre o desgaste cognitivo de pessoas com sensacao de escassez. This work contributes to the existing empirical literature and represents a first step toward the existence of a debt illiquidity trap that drives debtors to perpetuate their critical financial situation.
