Terminais de Contêineres no Brasil: Eficiência Intertemporal

Abstract

The recent evolution of the Brazilian port sector has led to significantimpacts on the competition and the expectation of further efficiency gainsimpacts. By considering the average value of efficiencies in the three yearsof analysis, two large terminals (Tecon Santos and Libra Terminals - San-tos) remain on the efficiency frontier. The intertemporal analysis usingtheMalmquistindex shows that this rate for the Tecon Santos Brasil fell.This means that theinputsare being used by the port terminals in a lessefficient way than in the previous period.
