The directional distance function (DDF) framework has been widely used to estimate the marginal abatement cost (MAC) of CO2 emissions to support decision-making in environmental sustainability and climate change issues. In the use of DDF, an important task is mapping evaluated entities towards a...

In order to make China's carbon emission policies effectively, it is necessary to estimate the CO2 emissions reduction reasonably of each province in China. This study aims to establish a new measurement method by employing an Inverse Data Envelopment Analysis (InvDEA) with frontier changes to...

We develop a network technology model for pollution abatement that distinguishes between the two primary forms that abatement can take: Prevention of emissions from occurring in the first place, and treatment of any emissions that are generated by the production process. Our network model...
