El reparto del fondo de compensación interterritorial entre las comunidades autónomas

Abstract

This paper is a methodological proposal for the distribution of the Regional Equalization Fund, based on the following principles: (i) To measure the degree of regional development by means of an indicator with an appropiate theoretical basis (an indicator combining both the average income and its dispersion); (ii) To establish an egalitarian approach, as a combination of the leximin and proportional solutions (leaving these "proportions" open); And (iii) to proceed to a distribution aiming at the equalization (in (ii) sense) of the development indicators of the Regions participating in the Fund.
