Analysing the energy efficiency of EU member states: The potential of energy recovery from waste in the circular economy

Halkos G., Petrou K.N. (2019)

This paper examines energy efficiency across 28 selected European Union (EU) Member States and reviews the potential for energy recovery from waste according to the efficiency scores obtained. The efficiencies are assessed ...

Assess and prognosticate green house gas emissions from agricultural production of EU countries, by implementing, DEA Window analysis and artificial neural networks

Vlontzos G., Pardalos P.M. (2017)

One of the most important policy reforms for the European Union (EU) agriculture was the implementation of the Agenda 2000, which establishes a new framework for subsidies management, decoupled from both crop and animal ...

Assessing 28 EU member states' environmental efficiency in national waste generation with DEA

Halkos G., Petrou K.N. (2019)

This paper deals with the efficiency of the 28 European Union (EU) Member States for the years 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014 by employing Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and directional distance function to tackle undesirable ...

A DEA approach for estimating the agricultural energy and environmental efficiency of EU countries

Vlontzos, G.; Niavis, S.; Manos, B. (2014)

This study attempts to evaluate the energy and environmental efficiency of the primary sectors of the EU member state countries. The evaluation is based on a non-radial Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model which allows ...

Measuring the Effect of Economic Growth on Countries’ Environmental Efficiency: A Conditional Directional Distance Function Approach

Halkos G.E., Managi S. (2017)

Using a recently developed probabilistic approach of a conditional directional distance function, we measure the effect of economic growth on countries’ environmental efficiency in carbon dioxide emissions for a sample of ...

Measuring the effect of Kyoto protocol agreement on countries' environmental efficiency in CO2 emissions: an application of conditional full frontiers

Halkos, G. E.; Tzeremes, N. G. (2014)

This paper applies the probabilistic approach developed by Daraio and Simar (J Prod Anal 24:93-121, 2005, Advanced robust and nonparametric methods in efficiency analysis. Springer Science, New York, 2007a, J Prod Anal ...

Predicting operational and environmental efficiency of primary sectors of EU countries, by implementing Artificial Neural Networks

Vlontzos G. (2017)

One of the most important policy reforms for the European Union (EU) agriculture was the implementation of the Agenda 2000, which establishes a new framework for subsidies management, decoupled from both crop and animal ...
