Abstract

This article shows the estimated demand model of expenditure and income of floating students in the city of Tunja. It is based on an application to the Engel curve, using the method of Working and Leser, taking data from a poll made on a sample of floating university students in the city of Tunja, whom were asked about some socio-economic variables, such as spending and income. The most important demand of floating students is given by spending on housing, which is seen from the value of the coefficients of the equation system proposed in the model.
