Inversión, impuestos y tarifas en el sector eléctrico argentino

Los problemas de escasez de electricidad que enfrentó la economía argentina a partir de 2006 fueron consecuencia no sólo de un excepcional crecimiento económico, sino también de una inversión insuficiente incapaz de acompañar ese crecimiento, pasando a depender el sector en gran medida del stock de capital acumulado en la etapa anterior. Los trabajos incluidos en este volumen adoptan este marco de referencia y analizan el comportamiento de la inversión en electricidad, el tratamiento impositivo que dispensan los diversos niveles de gobierno al sector eléctrico, la asignación de los recursos impositivos específicos y las diferencias tarifarias existentes entre provincias.

Investment, taxes and tariffs in the Argentine electricity sector 1990-2010
The electricity shortage problems faced by the Argentine economy since 2006 were a consequence not only of exceptional economic growth but also of insufficient investment to keep pace with that growth and resulted in the sector largely coming to depend on the capital stock accumulated during the previous period. The works included in this volume adopt that frame of reference and analyze the behavior of investment in electricity, the tax treatment applied to the electricity sector by the various levels of government, the allocation of specific tax resources and the tariff differences existing between provinces.
