The results show that from 2000 to 2010: (1) the traffic energy consumption increased from 597.96 million tons...

The paper aims to investigate the achievements of the theoretical and practical basis of environmental policy analysis in order to study their works and point out the future possible research direction. It sorts out researches about environmental efficiency assessment and reviews the works about...

Improving environmental efficiency has been regarded as an objective requirement and an inevitable path to build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society in China. The slacks-based measurement (SBM) model with undesirable output is applied to measure the environmental efficiency of...

As one of the important driving forces of world economic development, China's rapid economic growth has not only supplied the world with a large number of manufactured goods, but also caused China's sustained and rapid increase in energy consumption because of the characteristics of China's...

In this study, we create a set of network DEA models that can be used to divide efficiency scores into two subunits, thus providing more accurate results. This approach can help open the “black box” of efficiency measurement and help determine the advantages and disadvantages of various...

The purpose of this article is to study consumer innovativeness and to explore various consumer motivations behind adoption of innovation. Consumers may have different motivations behind adoption of an innovation. Most of the researchers researched different categories of consumer needs which...
