Abstract

The complexity of consumer behavior has led scholars to make great efforts to understand it—a true mystery that remains an unfinished topic on the agenda in the 21st century. It has been the subject of study by many researchers, giving rise to a series of theories aimed at clarifying the determining factors of consumption, including theories from psychoanalysis, economics, learning, and social psychology, among others.

This research aims to address the particular behavior of consumers of cellular phone services. Specifically, it studies the consumption of these services from the expenditure perspective. Social, demographic, economic, and behavioral variables are analyzed, including the type of service used, the contracted brand, and the number of phone devices the user owns. For this purpose, multivariate analysis techniques such as correspondence analysis and CHAID analysis are employed.
