This study aims to evaluate the economic and environmental efficiency of Asian African economies. In model proposed, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is considered as desired output Greenhouse Gases (GHG), like carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, undesirable output. Capital, labor, fossil fuels, renewable energy consumption are regarded inputs, GDP/CO2 ratio output, by using a log-linear Translog produ...

Abstract Advanced efficiency measurement methods usually fall within Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), Data Envelopment (DEA), or their derivatives. Although SFA has some theoretical advantages, it been criticized for relying on arbitrary and potentially restrictive assumptions about model specification. One strand of the literature suggests use nonparametric SF models to cope with issue. We ...
