Resumen
This paper contributes to the study of the Spanish automobile industry with the estimation of a production function that summarizes the production technology for an auto assembly plant belonging to a multinational company, in the early years of operation. The results include estimations of the parameters of the production, including the mean rate of technical progress in the period of study. Even though the history of the automobile industry in Spain includes many papers that make reference to productivity as an indicator of productive efficiency, they mostly refer to labour productivity that matches operating efficiency only in very special cases. The results suggest that other reasons besides lower labour costs may explain the comparative advantage of the auto industry in Spain.

Resumen
The article focuses on the construction of an annual index of industrial production (includes manufacturing, mining and energy, but not construction) of the Balearic Islands in the mid nineteenth century and early twenty-first century, following similar methodology to the used in the other three Spanish regional indexes of industrial production already available: Andalusia, Catalonia and the Basque Country. On the one hand, the choice allows comparison between four industrial careers in the long term which have been very different from each other and also had had a different role in the respective productive structures of the regions analyzed: particularly relevant in cases Catalan and Basque, a shorter run on the inland and southern examples.
