Abstract

This paper presents a first estimation of the Quality-Adjusted Life Expectancy (QALE) in Spain. The QALE combines length of life with quality of life and is intended to be a valuable instrument for the evaluation of public projects that are targeted to improve people’s life expectancy and quality of life. Moreover, the estimated value for QALE in Spain may be useful to test the validity of previous estimations at a regional level.
