Abstract

Casi cinco años después de haber culminado las privatizaciones en telecomunicaciones y electricidad, así como haber realizado importantes reformas en agua potable y alcantarillado, es necesario realizar un balance sobre los resultados de dichas reformas. A fin de determinar si el resultado fue positivo o negativo, esta investigación trata de cuantificar los efectos de las privatizaciones de los servicios públicos (agua, telecomunicaciones y electricidad) sobre el consumo y bienestar de los hogares urbanos peruanos. Por tanto, nuestro principal objetivo es analizar los efectos sobre la distribución del ingreso e identificar que hogares se beneficiaron y cuales se perjudicaron por los cambios en precios originados por las privatizaciones. Para lograr este objetivo se aplican tres metodologías complementarias. La primera estima curvas de concentración para mostrar como se distribuyen los servicios entre la población. La segunda metodología, basada en Waddams-Price y Hancock (1998), mide cambios en el gasto de los hogares inducidos por cambios en los niveles de precios de los servicios y su estructura relativa. Finalmente, estimamos ecuaciones de demanda para los diferentes servicios analizados, aplicando la metodología en dos etapas de Heckman para corregir por la probabilidad de acceder al servicio. Utilizando la elasticidad de demanda así estimada se calcularon los cambios en el bienestar de los consumidores de dichos servicios.
