Resumen

En este trabajo de investigación analizamos la tasa de ahorro de los hogares mexicanos antes y durante la pandemia por la COVID-19. El objetivo central es actualizar el conocimiento sobre el tema, para así cuantificar el efecto de las variables socioeconómicas y sociodemográficas determinantes del ahorro. Aplicamos el método econométrico de regresión cuantil para los datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de los Hogares de 2018 y 2020. Los resultados obtenidos comprueban la heterogeneidad de la influencia de las variables seleccionadas según el cuantil de la tasa de ahorro modelada, así como el cambio dinámico del efecto asociado a los determinantes y de la tasa de ahorro como consecuencia de la crisis económica derivada por la COVID-19.


 


ON THE MEXICAN HOUSEHOLDS’ SAVINGS BEFORE AND DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC


ABSTRACT


In this research paper we analyze the Mexican household saving rates before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our key research goal is to update the knowledge on this topic and quantify the effects of socioeconomic and sociodemographic covariates as household saving determinants. We apply a quantile regression model taking data from the 2018 and 2020 Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de los Hogares. Our results provide evidence about the heterogeneity of the effects of socioeconomic and sociodemographic household saving determinants, also about the dynamic change of effects associated with the determinants and the household saving rate, as a consequence of the economic crisis derived from COVID-19.
