Rational Selection of Risk Profiles in Multi-Fund Portfolios
The project to build a hydroelectric dam emerged in the 1970s in response to growing energy demand in the Southern Cone. The Yacyretá Treaty, signed in 1973 by Paraguayan President Alfredo Stroessner and Argentine President Juan Domingo Perón, established EBY as an autonomous entity to build and operate the dam.
