Chile ha logrado niveles de cobertura universal en agua potable, alcantarillado y tratamiento de aguas residuales en áreas urbanas. Sus prestadores exhiben completa recuperación de costos, micromedición universal y un consumo unitario en descenso. En contraste, su modelo regulatorio es criticado por no resolver la asimetría informativa entre regulador y regulados. Sobre una muestra de 18 prestadores, estimamos una función de distancia de insumos a través de análisis de frontera estocástica. Exploramos eficiencia técnica comparativa en el sector, concentrándonos en años recientes, buscando respuestas a nuevos desafíos relacionados con reducción de pérdidas en red, gastos de mantenimiento y menores tarifas.

| description |
Chile has achieved universal levels of coverage in water, sewerage and sewerage treatment in urban areas. Also, the providers exhibit complete cost recovering, universal metering and diminishing consumption. On the other hand, the regulatory model in use is criticized because it does not solve the asymmetric information among regulator and providers. Based on a sample of 18 providers, we computed an input distance function through stochastic frontier analysis. We explore comparative technical efficiency in the sector, concentrating our attention in the recent years, looking for responses to new challenges related with loss reduction, maintenance expenditures, and lower tariffs. |
