Abstract
Se estudiaron los efectos que los cargos por equipaje han tenido en el precio de las acciones de líneas aéreas tradicionales y de bajo costo de Estados Unidos, Europa y Brasil utilizando un análisis de regresión múltiple para el periodo de enero del 2006 a diciembre del 2011. Se evaluó el impacto que tuvieron los cargos por equipaje antes y después de su implementación. De los resultados se concluye que el cargo por equipaje, entre otras variables, tuvo un impacto positivo en el precio de las acciones. Los resultados demuestran que antes de la implementación del cargo, el precio de la acción disminuía, mientras que después de la implementación el precio de las acciones aumentaba, si la línea aérea era de bajo costo.

This study looks at the effects of baggage fees on the stock prices of legacy and low cost airlines (carriers) in the United States, Europe, and Brazil using a multiple regression analysis for the period between January 2006 and December 2011. The impact that baggage fees had on airlines’ stock prices before and after their implementation was studied. From the results, it was concluded that baggage fee, among other variables, does have a positive impact on the price of airlines’ stock. Results showed that before the implementation of the baggage fee, stock prices decreased whenever the airlines were low cost carriers (LCCs), while after the fee implementation, stock prices seemed to be positive affected whether airlines were low cost carriers.
