Household decisions tend to be changed based on various factors, since individuals often present sociodemographic, socioeconomic, or psychological differences. While the Rational Choice Theory can explain the behaviour of households resulting from a negative variation in income, the Elementary Preferences (now called EP) can give a more specific explanation of these attitudes considering an altruistic stance. This premise is studied in the current research work, which is based on the Engel curve and indicators related to EP to prove that not all households have the same prioritization and spending pattern. Using an OLS model and comparing it with a Tobit model, it is proved that the economic dependency ratio, poverty, total household members, gross household income and sex of the household head play a fundamental role in household decisions and have a more accurate explanation based on Behavioural Economics. JEL classification: D11, D12, D91, H31, I30.
