The paper estimates the shadow prices of SO2 emissions for 36 Czech industry sectors during the period 2000-2008. A convex nonparametric least squares quadratic optimization formulated by Mekaroonreung & Johnson (2012) is applied to measure technical efficiency and to jointly estimate the shadow prices of SO2 emissions. The weighted average shadow price ranges between 360€ and 1,316€ per ton of...
