Spreading knowledge and technology: Research efficiency at universities based on the three-stage MCDM-NRSDEA method with bootstrapping

Chonghui Zhang et al.

Summary: In response to the increasing higher education attainment and expansion of higher education institutions, many countries have started evaluating discipline efficiency to measure performance, promote competition, and allocate resources effectively. This paper proposes a three-stage multi-criteria decision-making method with bootstrapping to assess a discipline's scientific research efficiency from the university-level perspective. The proposed model incorporates contextual variables and random error to ensure robust analysis.

The governance-production nexus of eco-efficiency in Chinese resource-based cities: A two-stage network DEA approach

Huijuan Xiao et al.

Summary: Resource-based cities in China have played a significant role in the country's socio-economic development, but their heavy reliance on resources has led to environmental issues. Improving eco-efficiency is crucial for balancing environmental protection and economic growth. Collaboration between government and industrial sectors to address management deficiencies is essential for enhancing eco-efficiency.

Eco-efficiency and Eco-productivity assessments of the states in the United States: A two-stage Non-parametric analysis

Elif E. Demiral et al.

Summary: The study found that 32 states in the US operate efficiently in terms of eco-efficiency, with 5 states performing at the most optimal scale, 17 states having considerable potential for boosting their productive efficiencies, and 28 states being overinvested in input variables. The non-radial DEA models show that the states' capital efficiency is very high, while energy and emission efficiencies are very low. The states' ecoproductivity is relatively higher than the eco-efficiency levels.

Assessment of the potential energy and environmental benefits of solid waste recycling in China

Dan Cudjoe et al.

Summary: Solid waste collection and recycling are considered necessary by countries worldwide due to the recent emphasis on conservation of resources and environmental protection. In China, solid waste recycling has become a critical issue due to resource depletion and the need for sustainable economic growth. The study found significant energy and environmental benefits from recycling solid waste, with notable savings in electricity and reductions in CO2 and methane emissions. However, the recycling of certain types of solid waste like steel, plastics, and paper had negative impacts on the environment in terms of VOCs and PM emissions, calling for measures to minimize pollutant emissions during the recycling process.

Asymmetric impact of fossil fuel and renewable energy consumption on economic growth: A nonlinear technique

Khan Baz et al.

Summary: By analyzing the time series data of Pakistan, asymmetric and nonlinear cointegration between fossil fuel, renewable energy, and economic growth was confirmed. Positive shocks had asymmetric feedback causality with economic growth and renewable energy consumption, while a symmetric bidirectional hypothesis was observed between fossil fuel consumption and economic growth. An asymmetrically unidirectional causal nexus was confirmed between foreign direct investment and economic growth.

Cosimo Magazzino et al.

Summary: Municipal solid waste is a pressing issue related to economic growth and urbanization, with untreated waste leading to harmful substances spreading in the environment. The Danish case is studied for its potential policy implications and its transition from a linear economy to a circular economy. Economic growth, as identified by changes in per capita GDP, affects waste emissions and has significant implications for policy-making.

A novel approach for developing composite eco-efficiency indicators: The case for US food consumption

Galal M. Abdella et al.

Summary: Eco-efficiency analysis is a method for evaluating and monitoring the economic and environmental performance of products and industries, involving multiple environmental and economic indicators, and considerations of the importance of sustainability indicators under high multicollinearity conditions. A novel weighting method called Weighted Penalized Maximum Likelihood Estimation (W-PMLE) is proposed to reduce the impact of multicollinearity, and applied to eco-efficiency analysis of U.S food consumption, revealing key indicators such as CO2 emissions, consumption of metallic minerals, and water resources.

Influence of environmental policies on waste treatment

Luisa Marti et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the current situation in 41 countries to identify sustainable waste management practices, finding a relationship between environmental policies and waste treatment. Five internally homogeneous groups of countries were identified, with countries highly participating in environmental treaties showing a trend towards more environmentally friendly waste treatment. The results also confirmed a clear relationship between policy effectiveness and waste recycling.

Solomon Prince Nathaniel et al.

Summary: The study reveals that economic growth and natural resource increase contribute to ecological footprint (EF), while renewable energy decreases it. Human capital is not yet at a desirable level to mitigate environmental deterioration. Country-specific results show the deteriorating impact of economic growth and the abating role of renewable energy on the environment. Further findings suggest a feedback causality between human capital, urbanization, and EF.
