Abstract

Este artículo analiza y caracteriza el comportamiento del gasto y los patrones de consumo de los hogares de Medellín. El análisis se basa en la curva de Engel para hogares, la cual relaciona el gasto total con el gasto específico en ciertos bienes. Se recurrió a una metodología empírica basada en tres modelos: modelos semiparamétricos, para capturar no-linealidades, modelos de variables instrumentales y modelos Tobit. Se concluye que los bienes en alimentación, bebida y tabaco y vestido y calzado, responden a la ley de Engel, y dependiendo del segmento de gasto en el cual se ubiquen las familias, para algunas será un bien normal o inferior o de lujo.
