  • To develop an alternative measure of vulnerability against the food insecurity based in the demand behavior and given the elasticities price and estimated income. In addition, to estimate the proportion of the population that would be vulnerable against the food insecurity under this alternative measure.
The study had been prepared having as source the National Household Survey (ENAHO), for the years 2019 and 2023, which database is in the institutional website and had been developed by the researcher Mg.
