Descripción
Sumario:This investigation presents a study of the rates that generate economic flows between developers and concessionaires in the port sector based on the hypothesis that a private developer purchases the land on the waterfront and, with the approval of the state, creates a multi-activity port and concessions spaces to private operators. This thesis presents, therefore, the construction of a port and its business model through a private initiative. For the model to be successful, certain contextual conditions must arise that characterise demand, prices and legal conditions, among other aspects. Having established the regulatory parameters of these contextual conditions, the economic flows generated by the various rates are studied and their importance relative to the developer and concessionaire are assessed through the construction of a mathematical model that allows the determinants to fluctuate and to study, on the basis of these fluctuations, the profitability of each one. Moreover, within the model, a module has been created that enables the researcher to determine whether the concessionaire may be awarded discounts on their rates based on the performance in certain operational aspects. Both the mathematical model and rate correcting module are validated through their application in a practical case and, in this way, the importance of each rate and how the bonuses affect the performances of the developer and concessionaire are assessed.
