Abstract

This paper aims to perform a comparative analysis on the Highway Concession Program of the State of Parana, started in 1997, in relation to the model stipulated for the Roads Exploitation and Concession Program, accomplished by the Brazilian Federal Government, in 2007. It analyzed lots 3 and 2 of the concession contracts of Parana State and of the Federal Government, respectively. It tried to identify the differences in both these concession models, according to the contracts and their attachments. Besides, it was performed a comparative analysis of the historical average rates of the Basic Toll Fee in Parana State using the price adjustment formula proposed by the federal concession. The results obtained show that, under this method of costing fees, users would pay virtually the same value as the Basic Toll Fee, if the contracts had been fully observed. However, a considerable range of developments in the exploited road section were reduced or are currently sub judice. Yet, the price adjustment formula proposed by the federal government would provide lower fees for the user, if it was practiced in Parana concession.
