Descripción
Sumario:<p class="BodyA">The purpose of this research is to explore the factors associated with transmission and distribution electricity losses in Colombia. A literature review is carried out to find out the variables that have been significant in past studies. Once the issue is contextualized in the Colombian case, a statistical and econometric analysis is developed with the available variables. Transmission and distribution electricity losses were found to be positively significantly associated with crime, unemployment, and income; while these have a negative association with urbanization and population density. Results are of interest to practitioners, academics and policy makers.</p><p class="BodyA"><strong>Keywords:</strong><em> </em>Electricity Losses, Non-Technical Losses, T&amp;D Losses, Power Losses, crime, econometric model.</p><p class="BodyA"><strong>JEL Classifications:</strong> L94, N70, Q41</p><p class="BodyA">DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.11590">https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.11590</a></p>
