Hacia un sistema de propiedad privada sobre el viento en Chile

Abstract

This paper analyzes the legal and economic nature of the wind as an energy resource in Chile. It holds that wind is becoming a rival good that is originally assigned privately under a rationale dominated by the principle of accession. It suggests that this assignment is subject to criticism from an efficiency and distributive perspective. As an alternative, it proposes to follow an acquisition by first possession logic by means of a symbolic form of occupation and discusses its implications
