Abstract

El análisis del desarrollo a nivel subnacional ha adquirido relevancia en los últimos anos, de manera que surgen varios índices que incorporan dimensiones económicas, sociales y ambientales. En Ecuador los pocos estudios realizados para medir el desarrollo no consideran la dimensión ambiental. Por tanto, el objetivo de este artículo es presentar un índice para medir el desarrollo local en Ecuador utilizando el análisis de componentes principales y tomando en consideración variables económicas, sociales y ambientales. Los resultados muestran que existen cantones con mayor nivel de desarrollo y cantones con menor nivel de desarrollo (ubicados, principalmente, en la zona de la Costa norte y la Amazonía). Se encontró un patrón muy heterogéneo de desarrollo local en el país. Este índice podría utilizarse como una herramienta para el análisis de políticas públicas de desarrollo local y una asignación de recursos subnacionales más eficiente.
