Abstract

Abstract This paper calculates the switching costs in the context of the Brazilian airline industry by considering an indirect approach, and econometrically evaluates its determinants during the 2005-2017 period. Evidence suggests non-negligible switching costs that display a decreasing trend over time, which is consistent with an increase in the competition in the sector, as also exhibited in other countries. An instrumental variables estimation suggests that variables referring to the number of flights, a frequent flyer program and the entry/presence of competitors play a role in determining the magnitude of switching costs.
