Quality of life is increasingly becoming a concept researched empirically and theoretically in the field of economics. In urban economics in particular, this increasing interest stems mainly from the fact that quality of life affects urban competitiveness and urban growth: research shows that when households and businesses decide where to locate, quality of life considerations can play a very important role. The purpose of the present paper is to examine the way economic literature and urban economic literature in particular, have adopted quality of life considerations in the economic thinking. Moreover, it presents the ways various studies have attempted to capture the multidimensional nature of the concept, and quantify it for the purposes of empirical research. Additionally we focus on the state of the art in Spain. Looking at the experiences in the last years we see very important possibilities of developing new studies in the field.
Sin ningún género de duda, puede afirmarse que el concepto de calidad de vida tiene cada vez mayor importancia en el ámbito científico en general y en economía en particular. Dentro de este ámbito una de las aplicaciones más claras se da en el ámbito espacial, convirtiéndose en una variable clave para entender el desarrollo de ciudades y regiones. En este trabajo hacemos un recorrido por el concepto de la calidad de vida en la literatura económica y en especial en términos de economía urbana. En este sentido se hace un repaso de aquellos aspectos económicos claves relacionados con el concepto de la calidad de vida, como puede ser el de equilibrio espacial. Por último se analizan las experiencias sobre medición y análisis económico de la calidad de vida desarrolladas en España en los últimos años y se remarcan las enormes posibilidades de desarrollo de este campo en nuestro país.
