ZAMUDIO-SANCHEZ, Francisco José; ARANA-OVALLE, Roxana Ivette  e  SANTIBANEZ-CORTES, Javier. Rethinking Estrategia 100x100 using a Human Development Index for Localities. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.52, pp.697-726. ISSN 2448-6183.

In this paper we present an index to measure human development. We take as basis the principles by Amartya Sen, and as an operative way, a statistical metric. We compare the results of selecting a set of municipalities using our index, against the ones included in the so called “Estrategia 100x100”. The selection indicates that the strategy should be modified and that the proposed index relates better with other social indexes currently used. Our methodology is quite general to build an index, so it can be used to obtain measures of other social features.
