Díaz Sánchez, Juan PabloRomaní Fernández, Javier, 1969-2018-11-272018-11-272016-031390-0129https://hdl.handle.net/2445/126482This paper addresses the household overcrowding problem. To do so, a binary choice model with logit specification is constructed. The cross section data used in the empirical analysis comes from Ecuador which is a developing South American country. Although, household overcrowding has more incidence in developing countries, it also takes place in developed economies. The findings of the research suggest that a set of variables related to the head of the household like his/her gender, age, and level of education affect the probability of being under overcrowding situation in the household. Furthermore, the regime of tenancy under which the household is living in the dwelling also influences the probability of being in overcrowding situation.8 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Díaz Sánchez, Juan Pablo et al., 2016http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/esGeografia humanaPoblacióEmpirismeEquadorHuman geographyPopulationEmpiricismEcuadorinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6584842018-11-27info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
