The scope of hereby paper is drafting a proposal on the environmental cost accounting, environmental performance and eco-efficiency indicators. The paper briefly presents the main trends on the environmental cost accounting. Having in view the material flow expenses and their impact on...

I use linear programming models to define standardised, aggregate environmental performance indicators for firms. The best practice frontier obtained corresponds to decision making units showing the best environmental behaviour. Results are obtained with data from U.S. fossil fuel-fired electric...

Purpose – The paper aims to develop a benchmarking framework to address issues such as supply chain complexity and visibility, geographical differences and non-standardized data, ensuring that the entire supply chain environmental impact (in terms of carbon) and resource use for all tiers,...

The introduction of measurement bias in parameter estimates into non-linear discrete choice models,as a result of using factor analysis, was identified by Train et al. (1987). They found that the inclusionof factor scores, used to represent relationships amongst like variables, into a subsequent...
