Abstract

This article aims to estimate an equation for parcels demand of the Brazilian Post, cash modality, as well as to determine the price elasticity and the income elasticity of parcels demand in light of economic theory and the brazilian e-commerce scenario. The results show a price-elastic demand and sensitive to
income variations. The level of e-commerce  development have a negative impact on the volume of orders in cash modality. In the opposite direction, the development of e-commerce has a significant positive impact on the global quantity of postal  parcels (sum of cash and invoice modalities) – and can be considered as the main driver of demand for parcels in Brazil and in other posts around the world.
