Using a regression framework, we find a strong negative relation between the number of day the company has to finance its working capital and its profitability. Thus, this paper supports the argument that shorter trade cycles would be accompanied by higher profitability levels. %K Facultad de Ciencias Administrativas y Económicas %K Departamento de Economía %K Ciclo efectivo %K Rentabilidad %K Empresas %K Colombia %K Capital de trabajo %K Firmas colombianas %K Economía %K Negocios y management %K Economics %K Business %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
