-
What was the exact methodology of the price survey and sample size?
Why it's still unknown: A Gazeta's article mentions a survey was conducted but doesn't detail how many establishments were consulted, selection criteria or statistical methodology used.
-
How much of the final price represents FIFA/CBF licensing markup versus actual product cost?
Why it's still unknown: There's no comparison between prices of the same products with and without official World Cup branding to estimate the premium charged for licensing.
-
How does the 166% variation in ES compare with typical price dispersions for similar products in other states?
Why it's still unknown: The survey was limited to Espírito Santo, without national context that would allow evaluating whether this variation is atypical or standard in the Brazilian market.
-
What are the structural causes of geographic price dispersion within ES itself?
Why it's still unknown: The survey identifies the variation but doesn't analyze factors like rent costs, local purchasing power, competition or logistics that would explain differences between regions.
