Contribution of the Modernization of Viracopos Airport to the Economic Development of the Metropolitan Region of Campinas, SP, Brazil

This study proposes the application of the IO-Tables method to identify and evaluate the effects generated by the modernization of an airport infrastructure in the economy of a city or region in Brazil. Viracopos / Campinas International Airport was chosen, as a case study, due to recent changes in its administrative governance and operation profile, in addition to its importance for transport logistics in the metropolitan region of Campinas. The results of applying this method and estimates show that the social impacts of investments made by the public and private sectors at the airport were largely positive for society. Comparatively, in relation to the Brazilian economy, the direct and induced effects had a greater performance for the region of Campinas; however, the indirect effects performed below the national value. In summary, the influence of the economic development of one of the main airports in the country, facing the Metropolitan Region of Campinas, is positive and quite plausible, which shows that the direct, indirect and induced effects are important in the evaluation of the investment in the airport infrastructure of a region. Finally, it is important to highlight that this paper is innovative in Brazil and intends to highlight the contributions of the investments of the infrastructure installed for the development of the respective regions, developing methodologies and tools to support public and private decision makers.
