Energy Efficiency in OECD Countries: A DEA Approach

This paper deals with energy efficiency examined through an integrated model that links environment, technology, and urbanisation as related areas. Our main goal is to discover how efficiently developed countries use primary electricity (secondary energy). We additionally want find out the inclusion of environmental care renewable capacity affects efficiency. For purpose, we set up output-oriented BCC data envelopment analysis employs a input variables non-negative values calculate scores on minimising losses well emissions for sample 30 OECD member states during period from 2001 2018. develop couple baseline models in which have mean inefficiency margins 16.1% 10.8 13.5% electricity. The results extended show taking about environment does not affect general, while reliance produced sources slightly reduce it.
