DEA environmental assessment in time horizon: Radial approach for Malmquist index measurement on petroleum companies

How to Achieve Supply Chain Sustainability Efficiently? Taming the Triple Bottom Line Split Business Cycle

“…In order to provide usable information for this objective, the index is therefore distinguishing between a technological progress for the whole set of DMUs-individually adapted for each institution-on the one side and the technological efficiency on the other side [77]. A series of applications do exist for this specific longitudinal efficiency analysis, as shown for example by Thanassoulis, Shiraz and Maniadakis [78] for water and gas companies from different countries, Emrouznejad and Yang [79] for CO 2 emissions of Chinese manufacturing, Sueyoshi and Goto [80] for the environmental evaluation of petroleum companies, or Chang, Kuo and Chen [81] for a pollution evaluation in China.…”

Carbon Emission Performance of Independent Oil and Natural Gas Producers in the United States

“…Sueyoshi and Goto [28] build three types of DEA models to compare the environmental performance of five international oil companies and 14 national oil companies, and find that international oil companies perform better than national oil companies. Sueyoshi and Goto [29] develop the Malmquist indexes based on DEA for a dataset of 17 oil companies to investigate the change of environmental performance from 2005 to 2009, and find that these companies have improved their performance and the improvement can be attributed to use of green technology. Sueyoshi and Wang [30] apply DEA to a sample of petroleum companies in the US and find that integrated companies with both upstream and downstream operations outperform the independent companies with only upstream operations.…”

“…Li et al [27] use DEA to measure the unified efficiency (i.e., efficiency in terms of economic and environmental performance) of China's electricity supply companies during 2003-2010 and identifies the companies with the best performance. A few researchers have also developed DEA and Malmquist index methods to benchmark the performance of major petroleum companies [28][29][30]. Bevilacqua and Braglia [31] apply DEA to assess the environmental efficiency of seven oil refineries in Italy.…”

“…It is notable that DEA models can have different structures in terms of orientation, returns-to-scale, and radial/non-radial setting. The models applied to the assessment of oil and gas producers in literature usually employ the output orientation [29], constant and variable returns-to-scale [30], and both radial [29] and non-radial settings [28].…”

An analysis of Spain's global and environmental efficiency from a European Union perspective

“…Within these studies, since Färe et al's (1989) there have been many works of this nature which divide the outputs into two categories -the desirable and the undesirable -among which are those of Dyckhoff and Allen (2001), Ramanathan (2002), Lansink and Bezlepkin (2003), Korhonen and Luptacik (2004), Liang et al, (2004), Triantis and Otis (2004), Zaim (2004), Picazo-Tadeo et al, (2005), Kumar (2006) and Pasurka (2006). There have also been numerous works in recent years which have followed this plan - Fare and Groskopf (2010), Liu et al, (2010), Zhou et al, (2010), Sahoo et al, (2011), Wang et al, (2014, Kounetas (2015), Sueyoshi and Goto (2015), and Zhang et al, (2015).…”
