The objective of this research is to approximate the effect of the regulation of port tariffs through price caps on the efficiency of concessionary companies. For this purpose, a review of studies in Latin America that calculate efficiency indicators, through the estimation of production frontiers, for port terminals and other companies in the infrastructure sector was carried out. It is concluded that there is a positive relationship between the scheme of port tariff regulation by price cap and the efficiency of the concessionaire companies. However, there are other factors, such as exogenous shocks in the quantity demanded, input price shocks, technological change, port size, competitive pressures, the regulatory capacity of each country, among others, that make it difficult to determine the isolated effect of price cap regulation on efficiency. Lastly, it is suggested that future research should also measure the efficiency of port terminals from an allocative point of view, i.e., taking into consideration input costs, among other recommendations.
