Abstract
Este trabajo calcula por primera vez dos índices sintéticos para las Comunidades Autónomas españolas: uno de bienestar y otro de sostenibilidad. El punto de partida ha sido el Índice de la Buena Vida (Better Life Index, de la OCDE) y un Índice de Sostenibilidad (Happy Planet Index, basado en la huella ecológica). Los resultados muestran que no existe una clara correspondencia entre PIB regional, bienestar y sostenibilidad, y reflejan también la influencia negativa del impacto ecológico en los niveles de bienestar. El interés de este análisis preliminar es valorar de un modo más completo el progreso de las sociedades y contribuir a diseñar y evaluar políticas que mejoren el bienestar y la sostenibilidad.
This work estimates, for the first time, two synthetic indexes for the Spanish regions (Comunidades Autónomas): well-being and sustainability. The starting point has been the Better Life Index (OECD and own calculations) and the Index of Sustainability (Happy Planet Index and ecological footprint). The results show that there are no clear correspondences between regional GDP, well-being and sustainability, and also reflect the negative influence of ecological impacts on well-being levels. The interest of this preliminary analysis is rating in a more complete way the progress of societies, and contribute to design and evaluate policies that improve the well-being and sustainability.
