Intertemporal environmental efficiency assessment in China: A new network-based dynamic super-efficiency measure

ABSTRACT: In order to make a complete ranking of intertemporal environmental efficiency in a dynamic manner, this paper combines the network-based dynamic data envelopment analysis (DEA), super-efficiency with the unified efficiency under natural and managerial disposability, and designs a dynamic DEA model and the corresponding dynamic super-efficiency DEA model. Compared with previous studies, the proposed measure can fully rank the overall environmental efficiency of all decision making units (DMUs) in a dynamic manner, and more importantly, it provides the information about when and what factors lead to inefficiency or efficiency of DMUs. The proposed models are applied to examine the environmental efficiency of 30 provinces in China from 2008 to 2017. The results show that there are significant
