FDI not only affects the host country's economic growth, but also affects the environment. Under the background of reality that in pursuit of green development, we need to take the comprehensive consideration of FDI performance from economic growth and environmental pollution. Considering the economic and environmental factors, we estimated 280 cities' green development efficiency in China from...

One of the serious issues that China faces during its fast economic development is the low input–output efficiency of water and energy resources and growing water pollution. With the current economic development model of China, economic growth still requires large input of water resource and energy resource. This paper has focused on the total factor efficiency of water resource and energy reso...

Can income equality be combined with high economic efficiency and rapid economic growth? Fortunately, we need not answer such a general question. Indeed, the question is poorly phrased. The relationship between income and wealth distribution on one hand, and efficiency/growth on the other, depends on how a certain distribution of income and wealth has come about. For example, if a given redistr...

Measuring economic efficiency requires complete price information, while resorting to technical efficiency exclusively does not utilise any price information. In most studies, at least some information on the prices is available from theory or practical knowledge of the industry under evaluation. In this paper we derive upper and lower bounds for Farrell's overall economic efficiency, assuming ...

The authors investigate the relay-aided multicell multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) cellular network by comparing both the signal forwarding and interference forwarding relaying paradigms, each employing the adaptive MIMO relay scheme. The spectral, energy and economic efficiency values are utilised as key performance metrics. Furthermore, both radio frequency and circuit power consumption ...

Eco-efficiency is oftentimes considered the gold standard for managerial decision making in an environmental context because it seemingly reconciles the efficient use of capital and the efficient use of environmental resources. We challenge this view by disaggregating eco-efficiency to provide an in-depth analysis of corporate eco-efficiency and to identify the drivers of an efficient use of en...

This paper covers nonmarket services provided by farmers for recreational purposes in several Central European regions. A regionally specified general equilibrium model is used to derive the efficiency conditions for a competitive equilibrium to guarantee a Pareto optimal outcome. Moreover, we present green agricultural compensation programmes in Europe and their assessment from an economic per...
