Assessing 28 EU member states' environmental efficiency in national waste generation with DEA
(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 conditional directional distance function approach for measuring regional environmental efficiency: Evidence from UK regions
(2013)This paper, by using conditional directional distance functions as introduced by Simar and Vanhems [J. Econometrics 166 (2012) 342-354] modifies the model by Fare and Grosskopf [Eur. J. Operat. Res. 157 (2004) 242-245] and ... -
A conditional directional distance function approach for measuring tax collection efficiency: evidence from Spanish regional offices
(2021)This paper analyzes the evolution of the technical efficiency of Spanish regional tax offices with respect to the main devolved taxes for the period 2005–2014. We apply the conditional directional distance function ... -
Economic growth and environmental efficiency: Evidence from US regions
(2013)This paper proposes a conditional directional distance function estimator in order to examine the link between regional environmental efficiency and GDP per capita levels. As an illustrative example we apply our model to ... -
Estimating Malmquist productivity indexes using probabilistic directional distances: An application to the European banking sector
(2017)Our paper by adopting the latest advances on the probabilistic characterization of directional distance functions as has been introduced by Daraio and Simar (2014), develops a Malmquist productivity index and presents its ... -
Measuring German regions' environmental efficiency: A directional distance function approach
(2012)This paper by applying a directional distance function approach measures German regions' municipality waste performance. By applying the weak disposability assumption the paper constructs environmental performance indexes ... -
Measuring the Effect of Economic Growth on Countries’ Environmental Efficiency: A Conditional Directional Distance Function Approach
(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 ... -
Population, economic growth and regional environmental inefficiency: Evidence from U.S. states
(2015)We apply a conditional directional distance function allowing multiple exogenous factors to measure environmental performance. We evaluate the air pollution performance levels of U.S. states for the years 1998 and 2008. ... -
Population, economic growth and regional environmental inefficiency: Evidence from U.S. states
(2016)We apply a conditional directional distance function allowing multiple exogenous factors to measure environmental performance. We evaluate the air pollution performance levels of U.S. states for the years 1998 and 2008. ... -
Testing for environmental Kuznets curve in the EU agricultural sector through an Eco-(in)efficiency index
(2017)Studies on agricultural production practices advance within international literature and new methods are proposed in order to assess the agricultural sustainability, either at farm or macro level. The present paper builds ...
