Environmental efficiency measurement when producers control pollutants under heterogeneous conditions: a generalization of the materials balance approach
Eder, Andreas - 2021
This article provides a generalization of the materials balance-based production model introduced by Coelli et al. (2007). Based on this, some new environmental efficiency (EE) measures are presented. The Coelli et al. (2007) EE measure and its extension by Rødseth (2016) produce biased...
