Abstract

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo examinar el comportamiento del ahorro en hogares de la Región Centro de México (SEDATU, 2015) considerando su perfil socioeconómico. Se proponen perfiles del hogar (Cruz, 2017) utilizando árboles de decisión y se calcula la probabilidad de ahorro (ENIGH, 2014) con un modelo logit. En los resultados del modelo, se encontró que las variables son significativas y se determina la probabilidad del nivel de ahorro de los hogares. A diferencia de la LCH (Modigliani, 1963), se recomienda identificar perfiles de ingreso y gasto con una segmentación de la población más allá de grupos de edad del jefe de familia. En determinados grupos de edad se aprecia que los de menor escolaridad tienen una mayor proporción de hogares con posibilidad de ahorrar; este comportamiento se limita a una investigación posterior para estudiar el efecto de otras variables. El encuadre del entorno regional contribuye a analizar con un mayor nivel de especificidad el comportamiento de ahorro, de acuerdo al perfil del hogar. Finalmente, se muestra que, con las variables propuestas, aumenta la probabilidad de ahorro en el hogar.
