This study intends to understand how disaster is related to countries' production efficiency using a sample of 137 countries over 1980 - 2011. We analyze the effect of the number of man-made and natural disaster occurrences on countries' technological change (swift of the frontier) and...

This paper applies the probabilistic approach developed by Daraio and Simar (J Prod Anal 24:93–121, <CitationRef CitationID="CR13">2005</CitationRef>, Advanced robust and nonparametric methods in efficiency analysis. Springer Science, New York, <CitationRef CitationID="CR14">2007a</CitationRef>, J Prod Anal 28:13–32, <CitationRef CitationID="CR15">2007b</CitationRef>) in order to develop conditional and unconditional data...</citationref></citationref></citationref>

Given that norms govern individual behaviour, which in turn are related to the environmental behaviour, this study provides empirical evidence of the link between human behaviour and the environment. Firstly with the use of robust frontiers the eco-efficiency ratios of 72 countries are...
