Abstract

El sector de la construcción en el Ecuador genera gran interés por su aporte al desarrollo económico y territorial del país. Las metodologías y herramientas de análisis para este sector de actividad económica resultan insuficientes, por tanto, es necesario evaluar nuevos mecanismos para una gestión y control efectivo por parte de los gerentes inmobiliarios. El presente trabajo tiene por objeto analizar el comportamiento de los costos en el sector de la construcción, con la finalidad de evaluar el nivel de asimetría de los costos y gastos en relación al cambio en el nivel de ventas. Los datos fueron analizados mediante estadística descriptiva y modelos de regresión, considerando una muestra de 381 firmas durante cuatro anos consecutivos. El estudio confirma la teoría de Anderson et al. (2003) la cual sostiene que los costos aumentan en mayor proporción cuando las ventas aumentan, y disminuyen en menor proporción cuando las ventas decrecen, concepto que orientó el análisis de la presente investigación.
