| description | The present paper tries to answer the following question: did an increase in the consumption of durable goods -such as electric appliances help the incumbent party to retain the Mexican presidency in 2006? Stated differently, did the middle class vote to support the current economic model? Important data limitations made the use of indirect tests and correlations necessary, rather than causalities -with the associated identification problems. Nonetheless, the paper was not able to reject the hypothesis mentioned above. In a tight election, a small effect could make the difference; and this analysis suggests that this is likely what happened. |

Stated differently, did the middle class vote to support the current economic model? Important data limitations made the use of indirect tests and correlations necessary, rather than causalities -with the associated identification problems. Nonetheless, the paper was not able to reject the hypothesis mentioned above. In a tight election, a small effect could make the difference; and this analysis suggests that this is likely what happened. Se pretende responder la siguiente pregunta: ¿el incremento en el consumo de bienes durables –como los electrodomésticos– ayudó a que el partido en el poder mantuviese la presidencia de México en el 2006? Dicho de otra manera, ¿la clase media votó a favor del actual modelo económico? Limitaciones en los datos forzaron a contestar estas preguntas de manera indirecta estableciendo correlaciones y no causalidades, con los respectivos problemas de identificación. Sin embargo, esta investigación no pudo rechazar la hipótesis aludida. En una elección cerrada, un pequeño efecto puede hacer la diferencia, y este análisis sugiere que eso ocurrió.
