Los problemas de escasez de electricidad que enfrento la economia argentina a partir de 2006 fueron consecuencia no solo de un excepcional crecimiento economico, sino tambien de una inversion insuficiente incapaz de acompanar 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 inversion en electricidad, el tratamiento impositivo que dispensan los diversos niveles de gobierno al sector electrico, la asignacion de los recursos impositivos especificos 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.
