p2distance: Welfare's Synthetic Indicator

The welfare's synthetic indicator provides an ideal tool for measuring multi-dimensional concepts such as welfare, development, living standards, etc. It enables information from the various indicators to be aggregated into a single synthetic measure. The method was proposed by Pena (1977, ISBN:9788426001788) and further developed by Zarzosa and Somarriba (2012) <doi:10.1007/s11205-012-0005-0>.
