Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an important factor in building a strong economy for country, particularly developing and emerging markets. Both domestic enterprises policy makers have been motivated to attract FDI the benefits of FDI, such as technological transfers, spillover benefits, rising competition. There need functional model assess how competitive index affects attractiveness. Ther...

This paper is concerned with Data Envelopment Analysis of systems with Natural Negative Inputs, and Natural Negative Outputs, i.e. inputs and outputs that, by their nature less than zero. Examples of situations with only positive inputs and positive and natural negative outputs are given and of situations in which both natural negative inputs and natural negative outputs occur. More attention h...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been utilized worldwide for measuring efficiencies of banks, telecommunications, electric utilities and so forth. Yet, the existing models have some well known shortcomings that limit their usefulness. In DEA we have two fundamental approaches to measuring efficiency with very different characteristics; radial and non-radial. We demonstrate a method for linki...

The research was performed in 16 emerging countries from 1990 to 2014, using a two-step approach. First, slacks-based (SBM)–data envelopment analysis (DEA) model annually estimates countries' resources and energy efficiency. In the second step, panel quantile regression used assess impacts of efficiency, export quality, other variables on ecological footprint. SBM–DEA revealed that Turkey Hunga...

Enhancing the level of water use and alleviating constraints shortage on economic social development are powerful supports to realize harmonious balance society. In this study, data envelopment analysis (DEA) window method is applied study level, SBM-DEA model (slack based measure, SBM) combined explore spatial temporal evolution characteristics composite index (CWUI) in nine provinces from 201...

DEA models are tools for evaluation of efficiency and performance of decision making units. They are based on the definition of efficiency as the ratio of the sum of outputs produced by the unit divided by the sum of inputs spent in the production process. A standard LP solver is the only requirement for solving DEA models. Unfortunately specialized optimization packages are not available to ty...

Purpose China has proposed two-stage goals of carbon peaking by 2030 and neutralization 2060. The emission reduction effect the power industry, especially thermal will directly affect progress goal. This paper aims to reveal spatial-temporal characteristics influencing factors efficiency industry proposes policy suggestions for realizing China’s peak goals. Design/methodology/approach evaluates...

Supply chain performance evaluation problems are complex problems with multiple criteria and multi-layered internal linking activities. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been used to evaluate the relative performance of organizational units called Decision Making Units (DMUs). However, the conventional DEA models cannot take into account the complex nature of supply chains with internal linki...
