Análisis multivariable para la evaluación del subsidio eléctrico considerando el consumo residencial y el crecimiento poblacional en el período 2016-2022

Abstract

This article focuses on evaluating the subsidy of the Efficient Cooking Program (PEC) during the period 2016-2022, where the impact and effectiveness of this subsidy in Ecuador are determined. This is achieved through an analysis of the connection between residential consumption, population size, and the energy subsidized by the program, using a methodology that combines normality tests, correlation analysis, significance tests, and the generalized estimating equations (GEE) model. To conduct this research, the document analyzes two case studies: the first case focuses on determining the effectiveness of the subsidy for residential consumers, and the second case examines the effect of the subsidy on annual residential LPG consumption.
