Measuring environmental efficiency and technology inequality of China's power sector: methodological comparisons among data envelopment analysis, free disposable hull, and super free disposable hull models

Xiaohong Liu et al.

Summary: This study assesses the environmental efficiency and technology inequality of China's power sector using new models. The results show that the environmental efficiency of China's power sector has been improving and the power sectors in the east region perform better than others. The proposed models are more applicable and reliable in efficiency measurement than traditional models.

Evaluating the sustainability of Chinese cities: Indicators based on a new data envelopment analysis model

Xiaohong Liu et al.

Summary: This study proposes a new methodological framework to evaluate sustainability and applies it to 198 Chinese cities. The findings show that Chinese cities have improved their efficiency scores and reduced efficiency inequality over time. However, only a small portion of cities have achieved a high level of sustainability. Looking ahead, cities that lag behind need to focus on enhancing economic prosperity and environmental protection.

Evaluation and convergence analysis of socio-economic vulnerability to natural hazards of Belt and Road Initiative countries

Zhihui Li et al.

Summary: By utilizing official data from countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, this study evaluated their socio-economic vulnerability and found a decreasing trend in average vulnerability levels. However, significant disparities existed among these countries, particularly within the South Asia and East Asia-ASEAN regions, highlighting the importance of reducing intra-regional disparities to improve overall resilience.

Measuring the effects of undesirable outputs on the efficiency of production units

Chiang Kao et al.

Summary: The data envelopment analysis technique produces higher efficiency scores for decision making units (DMUs) when more input/output factors are considered, suggesting a concept to determine the minimum amount of undesirable outputs allowed for a DMU. Results show that efficiency of DMUs can be decomposed into parts accounting for desirable and undesirable outputs, which can help identify inefficiencies and formulate standards for allowable undesirable outputs.
