Abstract

El documento presenta una revisión de la literatura sobre empresas públicas y regulación, con el objetivo de establecer las características fundamentales que debería contener esta última para atender a las particularidades de dichas empresas. Identificar las diferencias entre empresas públicas y privadas permite afinar su regulación para inducir la eficiencia de las primeras y establecer un marco competitivo balanceado para ambas en los mercados en las que operan como competidoras. Dos aspectos diferencian a las empresas públicas de las privadas: responden a múltiples principales, lo que las lleva a tener múltiples objetivos y operan bajo un régimen implícito de restricciones blandas. Si a esto se agrega que tienden a actuar en mercados monopólicos, el resultado lleva a poner el énfasis en su eficiencia económica. Por lo tanto la regulación para inducir un comportamiento eficiente resulta un instrumento complementario y no sustitutivo de la propiedad pública.
