| This paper evaluates the impact of privatization on commercial revenues of airports. We used a synthetic control methodology to estimate the counterfactual of how commercial revenues from privatized airports in Brazil would have evolved if Infraero - the national public company responsible for operating all major airports in Brazil - continued to operate them. Our results indicate a large, statistically significant and immediate impact in the five airports analyzed. The results were robust to a series of placebo tests. |
