Resumen:
The objective of this paper is to make a comparative analysis of the relative profitability of the gas distribution companies in Argentina, under the period 1993-2002. The aim is to identify the main determinant factors of the evolution of the relative firm profitability and the general behavior of the industry, using performance indicators. The methodology is based on accounting information generating indicators that reflect the evolution of costs, prices and performance of the firm. The indicators are useful for taking decisions and defining business firm strategies, as well as contributing to soften problems of asymmetric information faced by the regulator.
