Abstract

Los objetivos de este trabajo son básicamente dos: comparar la eficiencia relativa de las empresas del sector de distribución de energía eléctrica en América del Sur, y realizar un análisis de consistencia entre los distintos enfoques usualmente utilizados para medir la eficiencia. El modelo estimado considera un único producto (clientes) y seis variables entre insumos y características ambientales (área de servicio, ventas, estructura del mercado, kilómetros de redes de distribución, empleados de distribución y capacidad de transformación). La información sobre estas variables se obtuvo de la base de datos confeccionada por CIER para el ejercicio 1994. Este modelo se encuentra en línea con la literatura previa en la materia. Se ha encontrado que, en líneas generales, se cumplen las condiciones de consistencia.
