    An application of structural equation modeling with partial least squares to analyze life satisfaction by degrees of urbanization.
    (AIMS Press, 2024-08-05) Sánchez-Martí, José A.; Esteban Yago, Miguel; Economía Aplicada
    The objective conditions of people’s lives have historically played a greater role than subjective perceptions. However, this trend is shifting, accompanied by an ongoing debate about life satisfaction and urbanization. This research has two objectives, the first is to test the hypothesis of the urban paradox. The second is to analyze the differences in the determinants of life satisfaction by urbanization levels. In order to determine the degrees of urbanization, a geographic grid was used to distinguish between rural, intermediate, and urban areas. In addition, a multi-group analysis in structural equation models with partial least squares was conducted to analyze the determinants of life satisfaction. The model has been developed using three general determinants: economic situation, health, and social relations, which has been applied to a case study of the Region of Murcia. The database used for this study includes 2462 samples. The population living in rural areas showed less life satisfaction. Regarding the determinants, it was found that health acts as a partial mediator of social relations. Differences were also observed in the intensity of the determinants according to the degree of urbanization. Thus, the degree of urbanization acts as a moderator of life satisfaction. This research is noteworthy because it provides valuable insights for guiding regional public policies.

    Riesgo de pobreza y exclusión social entre la población urbana y rural de la Región de Murcia, España
    (Universidad de Almería, 2022-06-07) Sánchez-Martí, José Antonio; Esteban Yago, Miguel; Losa Carmona, Antonio; Economía Aplicada
    Murcia is one of the regions of Spain with the highest rate of risk of poverty and social exclusion, also being a territory that presents serious inequalities. One of these inequalities refers to the rural population, however, there is no current source available in this regard. This leads us to analyze the risk of poverty and social exclusion of the Murcian population according to the degree of urbanization of the territory where they live. The sample belongs to a field work carried out by the University of Murcia during the years 2017-2018. We confirm our starting hypothesis: the set of rural population shows a higher incidence of risk of poverty and social exclusion than their urban counterparts. Likewise, the set of rural population has worse working conditions, more difficulty reaching the end of the month and greater dissatisfaction in their standard of living. The analysis presented serves as support for the formulation of public policies, especially those aimed at improving the living conditions of rural Murcia.

    A quality of life index for Spanish Regions: a dynamic application of the DP2 distance method
    (Universidad de Almería, 2025-06-23) Esteban Yago, Miguel; Buendia Azorín, José Daniel; Sánchez de la Vega, José Carlos; Economía Aplicada
    This study proposes the construction of a composite Life Quality Index (LQI) for Spain’s autonomous communities and cities using a dynamic version of the DP2 distance, originally developed by Pena-Trapero (1977). This methodology offers several advantages: (1) it enables both cross-sectional and temporal comparisons across territorial units; (2) it applies an objective weighting criterion; and (3) it eliminates redundant information among indicators. The results reveal that the LQI displays significant cyclical sensitivity, highlighting substantial differences across dimensions in both levels and trends. Moreover, the study underscores the need to expand the informational basis for certain dimensions such as Education, Leisure and Social Relations, Governance and Fundamental Rights, and General Life Experience.
