Abstract

¿Qué tipos de factores influyen en el comportamiento de los consumidores? La respuesta no es fácil. Los factores que determinan las pautas del consumo familiar son bastantes y muy heterogéneos. En principio, cabe distinguir aquellos relacionados con variables económicas, es decir aquellos que tienen que ver con la renta familiar y los elementos que forman parte de ella (ingresos o salarios, intereses, impuestos, etc.). Pero existen otros, tales como las propias expectativas sobre la evolución económica, los cambios en la distribución de la renta, la valoración del patrimonio, las facilidades crediticias o el nivel de inflación motivado por las fluctuaciones cíclicas en las cosechas, entre otros, que también tienen efectos más o menos intensos sobre el consumo familiar. Asimismo hay una serie de factores estructurales (por ejemplo, todos aquellos relacionados con la demografía: crisis de mortalidad o crisis de subsistencias) e institucionales que afectan directa o indirectamente a los patrones de consumo. Además, en una sociedad de transición situada entre el final del Antiguo Régimen y el comienzo de las actividades capitalistas del siglo XIX, como la que pretendemos estudiar, todos los cambios se hacen mucho más complejos. Por tanto, para comprender el comportamiento del consumo doméstico es preciso primeramente identificar cuáles son sus determinantes. Éste es el objetivo primordial de este ensayo. Para ello, en primer lugar, intentaré una aproximación econométrica que permita conocer aquellos elementos que incidían en un mayor o menor consumo de bienes duraderos y semiduraderos, para, posteriormente, en un estudio menos fonnalizado estadísticamente tratar de corroborar o desmentir las hipótesis esbozadas en dicho modelo econométrico. Previamente abordaremos brevemente algunos aspectos críticos sobre los inventarios post-mortem y, subsiguientemente, los criterios adoptados en su selección, así como la validez de la muestra obtenida para los fines perseguidos.
