El presente trabajo se centra en la obtención de una herramienta que permita comparar la evolución económica coyuntural de las regiones españolas con la registrada por el conjunto nacional. De esta forma se persigue un doble objetivo. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, la elaboración y contrastación de un instrumento que permita la estimación simultánea del crecimiento económico trimestral de las distintas regiones españolas a través de indicadores sintéticos. Para ello se parte de un conjunto de indicadores económicos sectoriales sometidos a diversos tratamientos estadísticos de cara a su utilización en la metodología empleada. Desde el punto de vista aplicado, se intenta dar cobertura a la necesidad de información sobre la evolución macroeconómica regional, ya que tan sólo diez regiones disponen en la actualidad de instrumentos de este tipo. The paper is aimed to develop an approach to track and analyse the short term economic evolution of the spanish regions in comparison to the national performance. We consider a technique focused on the estimation of composite indicators for each region and the national level using homogeneous economic individual indicators. The use of this data series requires an individual statistical treatment that we discuss. We contrast the accuracy and reliability of the quarterly composite indicators in a regional application for the spanish case using data for the period 1995-2003.
