PACHECO CANALES, Yanina Roxana. Evaluation of Public Policy on Bioethanol as a Fuel in Peru. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.53, pp.127-162. ISSN 0120-6346.  https://doi.org/10.22395//seec.v22n53a6.

The policy that the Peruvian government uses to promote bioethanol as a fuel has not achieved the expected results at the time of its design. In that context, the objective of this article is to evaluate the energy policy. To that end, the contributions of experts in the field are used to assess the effectiveness of the instruments used and their impacts. Then, the necessary elements to rethink the design of the policy are analyzed. Consequently, the inclusion of the objective of reducing global warming and the creation of a multisectoral entity as articulator of the biofuels market are proposed, as well as adjustments that lead to a public policy with better benefits for society.
