The main aim of this paper is to analyze the economic effects of investments
scheduled by the airport concessions between 2012 and 2014, as disclosed by
the Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Fund (FNAC). To accomplish this task, we simulate
investment shocks from an input-output model for 2008, whose simulation exercise has
information from the Civil Aviation Secretariat. The main findings revealed that the
volume of investments coming from airport concessions can generate an increase of
R$ 11.3 billion on the Brazilian GDP, as well as create 282 thousand direct and indirect
occupations and promote 0.68% growth in tax revenue from the public budget over
these 30 years. On the other hand, the sectoral projections indicate positive effects on
the output and employment of the trade sector. These results achieved can contribute to the debate in course on transport concessions policies by signaling the intensities and directions of the effects transmitted on the Brazilian production system.
