| Sumario: | The need for establishing synthetic measures of the performance of different territorial units has prompted an increase in the construction and publication of composite indicators for different purposes and applying different methodologies.The United Nations Program for Development (UNDP) publishes since 1990 the Human Development Index (HDI). Although it meant a breakthrough in measuring this subject has also been widely criticized.In this paper we use different weighting and aggregation methods to construct alternative indices to the HDI and compare them using the concept of loss of information proposed by Zhou and Ang (2009) in order to analyze whether any of them is more appropriate in relation with this concept.In order to establish confidence intervals for this measure, artificial samples using the Bootstrap technique were generated. |
