Abstract

En México, el gasto privado en salud tiene una asociación considerable con los ingresos y se comporta diferenciadamente entre las regiones. Con información a nivel individuo para el periodo 2008 a 2018 y aplicando modelos Tobit, se analizan los cambios temporales y geográficos de la elasticidad ingreso del gasto privado en salud. En la región norte persiste como un bien de lujo, mientras que en las zonas centro y sur fluctúa alrededor del valor unitario. Pareciera que las divergencias regionales estructurales se están reflejando en las posibilidades de utilización del ingreso en rubros de gastos sanitarios en los hogares.
