Abstract

Los objetivos de México de reducir las emisiones de dióxido de carbono y de mejorar la Eficiencia Energética (EE) no pueden lograrse si no se hacen estimaciones de EE. Sin embargo, dada la falta de datos por estado, no hay indicadores por regiones o estados. Utilizando un modelo de Frontera de Producción Estocástica este artículo ofrece una estimación de EE para 29 estados e identifica determinantes de ineficiencia energética. Las conclusiones principales son tres: primero, la mayoría de los estados han mejorado su EE, excepto Jalisco, Baja California y Veracruz; segundo, se identificaron tres variables como determinantes de ineficiencia energética que son: densidad de población, potencial de mercado y alta presencia de la industria de materiales; tercero, el consumo de energía no disminuye con aumentos en el precio. La principal limitación es que, dada la disponibilidad de información, las estimaciones sólo incluyen a la electricidad como fuente primaria de energía.
