“…The energy efficiency gap arises mainly from market failures. Market failure means that the market does not have the characteristics of the perfect market [13,39]. According to Adam Smith's theory, cited in [40], the four types of market failures are imperfect markets, imperfect competition, imperfect information and asymmetric information.…”

Through a systematic literature review and a holistic perspective, the study proposes a conceptual transdisciplinary framework to overcome energy efficiency barriers during the shipbuilding phase. The process of the proposed transdisciplinary framework consists of five steps of “goal formation”, “system analyzing”, “scenario construction”, “multi-criteria decision making assessment” and “strategy building” to identify and rank the energy efficiency barriers during ship construction based on decision makers’ priorities. The framework categorizes the barriers into five disciplines—operations, policies and regulations, technology and innovation, the human elements, and economics—and the framework is applied to an Iranian shipyard. The results show that the economic barriers have the greatest impact, while the human barriers have the least impact on the shipyard’s energy performance. Due to the generalized structure of the framework, it categorizes not only energy efficiency barriers according to the importance and priorities of stakeholders in the shipbuilding industry, but can also be applied to other phases of the ship life cycle and even to other industries. By applying the framework, decision-makers can make rational and optimal decisions to be able to invest in energy efficiency measures based on their priorities.

Electric Industry. After two decades of EPIRA’s enactment, it is essential to assess where in the Distribution Sector, the reform’s trajectory has stalled. The study aimed to examine and assess the technical and operational efficiencies of the top five electric private distribution utilities (PDUs) in the Philippines under the regulatory policy. Methodology: This is a causal-comparative study using a panel data structure on technical and operational efficiencies of the top five PDUs in the Philippines from 1995 to 2014, employing quantitative measurement. This study used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as the non-parametric test while Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) as the parametric approach. Main Findings: Using the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) model showed that the implementation of EPIRA (post-EPIRA: 2001 to 2014) made the top five electric private distribution utilities in the Philippines more technically efficient in their operations than without the reform (pre-EPIRA: 1995 to 2000). It was also noted that PDUs with bigger franchise areas and older in existence were technically efficient in their operations than their smaller and younger PDUs counterpart, respectively. Applications: This study will enhance public awareness in the various assessment of regulatory policy arenas in PEI. Moreover, this study will also render useful insights into the management of DUs in the Philippines. Novelty/Originality of this study: An up-to-date empirical analysis of the situation to substantiate the claim of the reform’s efficiency in the Philippines is lacking in the literature. This paper is thus providing a comprehensive theoretical debate by examining some indications of EPIRA's efficiency in the Distribution Sector in the Philippines.
