Résumé
"Measuring the quality of life in municipalities entails two empirical challenges. First, collecting a set of relevant indicators that can be compared across the municipalities. Second, using an appropriate aggregating tool in order to construct a synthetic index. This paper measures the quality of life for the largest 643 Spanish municipalities using Value Efficiency Analysis (VEA). The indicators used cover aspects related to consumption, social services, housing, transport, environment, labour market, health, culture and leisure, education and security. Superefficiency VEA scores are also computed in order to construct a complete ordered ranking of the quality of life. The results show that the Northern and Central regions in Spain attain the highest levels of quality of life, while the Southern regions report low living conditions. It is also noticeable that none of the 10 biggest Spanish cities appear in the TOP50 ranking of quality of life."
