Análise dos ganhos de eficiência dos aeroportos concedidos no primeiro grupo de leilões brasileiros

Abstract

There has been a growth in the number of passengers and the amount of cargo transported by airplanes in the last 20 years, but there have been few investments in expanding the capacity of the current airports. The federal government, through the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) and the Civil Aviation Secretariat (SAC), took action throughout 2011 to restructure the Brazilian airport sector by deciding to grant the airports to private initiative. The first initiative was to grant in 2012 the airports of Guarulhos, Campinas and Brasília to private initiative. In this work, it will be analyzed whether there is a difference between the technical efficiency of the airports awarded in comparison to others privatized after 2012. It was used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique followed by a statistical mean test of efficiency. The innovation in this paper is the use statistical test to measure significance different between groups via intertemporal means test and intergroups, incorporating expost statistics of the concessions and innovating in the evaluation of policies aimed at increasing technical efficiency. The results indicates that there were no statistically significant gains in technical efficiency between the airports granted and not granted. It is suggested to carry out new studies exploring new input and output variables and long term perfomance.
