Separating Environmental Efficiency into
Production and Abatement Efficiency –
A Nonparametric Model with Application
to U.S. Power Plants.
Report, Erstveröffentlichung
Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
In this paper we present a new approach to evaluate the environmental efficiency of decision making units. We propose a model that describes a two-stage process consisting of a production and an end-of-pipe abatement stage with the environmental efficiency being determined by the efficiency of both stages. Taking the dependencies between the two stages into account, we show how nonparametric methods can be used to measure environmental efficiency and to decompose it into production and abatement efficiency. For an empirical illustration we apply our model to an analysis of U.S. power plants.
