Abstract

Resumen: En este ensayo se presentan algunas reflexiones sobre los cambios conceptuales y metodológicos a lo largo del pensamiento económico en los estudios referentes a curvas de Engel (CE).Comenzando por el ‘inductivismo’ bajo un espíritu no paramétrico del trabajo original de Ernst Engel (1895), hasta la posterior inclusión dentro de la teoría del consumidor del programa de investigación neoclásico o mainstream, y la problemática subsiguiente de la búsqueda de una especificación consistente, en términos de la adecuación con la teoría y del ajuste econométrico.Se sostiene que la incorporación de especificaciones no paramétricas va en línea con una mayor flexibilidad postulada para la relación de Engel siguiendo su contribución original. Sin embargo,la forma en que generalmente es planteada sigue persiguiendo su adecuación con algunos o todos los requerimientos para su consistencia en el marco de la teoría del consumidor.
