SUMMARY:

Economic sciences still face challenges in measuring productivity, especially in sectors characterized by variable returns to scale. This thesis proposes a methodology to calculate the X factor, a regulatory indicator that ensures the monopolist's productivity gains are passed on to the consumer, encouraging innovation and efficiency. The work is structured in three chapters: (1) a theoretical model, based on game theory, on the effect of the X factor on the monopolist's behavior; (2) a literature review on productivity measurement methods considering variable returns to scale; and (3) an estimation of the X factor for Brazilian ports, using data envelopment analysis (DEA) due to its flexibility in contexts of increasing returns to scale.
