Abstract: Our study addresses a clustering procedure that allows consistent results to be obtained on the basis of the variables investigated. We infer that the large disparities in area and population are congruent with those in production. Population is evenly distributed by region and area, especially within the clustered regions, which supports the desirability of regional groupings. In our analysis of intra-group and inter-group inequalities with respect to GDP per capita for the regional groupings analysed, the total relative redundancy indicator suggests that GDP per capita is very similar for the different regional areas, as its value is close to zero. The within-area disparity is greater than the between-area disparity, although the values are low and there is not much difference between the two. The institutional and administrative map has an impact, as well as the asymmetry of the individual distribution of each variable in the territory.

Nuestro estudio aborda un procedimiento de agrupación, caracterizado por regiones, grupos de regiones y estados en el conjunto ibérico, que permite la obtención de resultados consistentes sobre la base de las variables investigadas. Inferimos que las grandes disparidades en área y población son congruentes con las de la producción. La población está distribuida uniformemente por regiones y áreas, especialmente dentro de las regiones conjuntadas, lo que respalda la conveniencia de las agrupaciones regionales. En nuestro análisis de las desigualdades intragrupo e intergrupo, con respecto al PIB per cápita para las agrupaciones regionales analizadas, el indicador de redundancia relativa total sugiere que el PIB per cápita es muy similar para las distintas áreas regionales, ya que su valor es cercano a cero. La disparidad dentro del área es mayor que la disparidad entre áreas, aunque los valores son bajos y no hay mucha diferencia entre ambos. Incide el mapa institucional y administrativo, así como la asimetría de la distribución individual de cada variable en el territorio.
