    La construcción de indicadores sint´eticos basados en el criterio del beneficio de la duda se caracterizan por determinar de manera endógena el vector de ponderaciones con el que se agregarán los indicadores individuales. El presente trabajo propone un modelo de agregación que intenta salvar las principales críticas realizadas a este tipo de procedimientos: la selección de vectores diferentes para cada alternativa, lo que dificulta la comparación de los resultados finales, y la aparición de múltiples empates. Para ello, se propone un procedimiento que, manteniendo la esencia de los modelos de agregación basados en DEA, concluye determinando un vector de pesos común para todas las alternativas y en el que la discriminación entre los valores finales del indicador sintético se incluye como objetivo del procedimiento.

    Composite indicators constructed on the basis of the benef t of the doubt criterion are charac-terized by endogenously determined vectors of weights. In this paper, a new procedure to construct composite indicators is proposed which tries to overcome the main weakness of this family of pro-cedures: the obtention of an individual weighting vector for each alternatives, which makes the comparisons between alternatives diff cult, and multiple ties. A new procedure is proposed which, keeping the essence of DEA-inspired procedures, determines a common weighting-vector to eva-luate the complete set of alternatives and includes the discrimination between alternatives as an objective of the procedure.
