Abstract

En este trabajo se discute la aplicación de las fronteras de eficiencia y se describe el método econométrico para estimar las mismas. Dentro de los aspectos tratados, se detallan los dos métodos de estimación econométrica posibles: Mínimos Cuadrados Clásicos Modificados (MOLS) y Máxima Verosimilitud (ML); intentado identificar las ventajas relativas de cada método. A su vez, se muestra como la heteroscedasticidad sobre cada una de las componentes aleatorias puede afectar de forma distinta a la medida de eficiencia y a cada método de estimación. Todas estas herramientas son finalmente utilizadas para realizar una comparación internacional de empresas distribuidoras de energía eléctrica.
