Environmental management efficiency evaluation based on indicator information integration and DEA-Malmquist index

Aim: Completeness of indicator information is an important problem that needs to be further studied in environmental management efficiency evaluation (EMEE). However, this has not attracted sufficient attention existing studies and there lack the total factor productivity analysis, which effective method evaluate change been applied different fields. Methods: A novel EMEE model proposed based on integration DEA-Malmquist index, kernel evidential reasoning approach with weight calculation. Results: The index introduced also analyzes its integrated information. case study 30 provinces (except Tibet) mainland China from 2005-2017 provided illustrate analysis regional distribution, improvement strategy management. Conclusion: can provide a reference for improving protection
