Abstract
El objetivo del artículo es realizar una revisión de la temática de los indicadores compuestos, en especial lo relacionado con el proceso metodológico asociado a su construcción, detallando y discutiendo los diversos pasos vinculados a dicho proceso, utilizando como referencia la construcción del Índice de Potencial Competitivo Departamental (IPCD), indicador que mide el potencial competitivo de los Departamentos (regiones administrativas) en Uruguay, con la finalidad de mostrar un caso concreto y las opciones que se tomaron en su construcción, sin entrar en la explicación detallada de dicho indicador. La principal reflexión que debe destacarse es la necesidad de la transparencia en la construcción del índice. Esto es, la solidez del índice compuesto y su utilidad a futuro dependerá directamente de la calidad de la información y la justificación brindada sobre cada una de las decisiones que tome el investigador (o equipo de investigación) a cargo del armado del índice.
The objective of the article is to carry out a review of the subject of composite indicators, especially that related to the methodological process associated with their construction, detailing and discussing the various steps linked to said process, using the construction of the Competitive Potential Index Departmental (IPCD) as a reference., an indicator that measures the competitive potential of the Departments (administrative regions) in Uruguay, in order to show a specific case and the options that were taken in its construction, without going into the detailed explanation of said indicator. The main reflection that should be highlighted is the need for transparency in the construction of the index. That is, the strength of the composite index and its usefulness in the future will depend directly on the quality of the information and the justification provided for each of the decisions made by the researcher (or research team) in charge of building the index.
