This study investigates the applicability of Duesenberry's relative income hypothesis, generally associated with the "Keeping Up with the Joneses" (KUJ) behavior, in explaining consumption in Peru. Using quarterly data from the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and error correction models (ECM) were employed to analyze the long-term and short-term dynamics of the Average Propensity to Consume (APC). The results indicate that both the second lag of previous maximum income and the second lag of previous maximum consumption exert a significant influence on the APC in the current period. Furthermore, the study reveals that Peruvians take into account their consumption habits from the preceding nine months when making present consumption decisions. These findings highlight the significance of relative income in comprehending consumption patterns in Peru, shedding light on the potential existence of the KUJ phenomenon in the Andean country.
