“…In a study Lu et al [42] cited that to avoid the vast risk of climate change, global citizens need to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions significantly by the middle of this century. To build a Low Carbon Society, people, institutions, and governments must have a constructive attitude and take solid actions to shield the earth.…”

“…In most cases, these indicators are GDP, capital stock, and employment. Studies from the second group accentuate the importance of environmental issues (Streimikiene, 2016), employing economic and ecological indicators (Lovell et al, 1995;Zaim & Taskin, 2000;Zofio & Prieto, 2001;Arcelus & Arocena, 2005;Barla & Perelman, 2005;Camarero et al, 2008;Halkos & Tzeremes, 2009;Camarero et al, 2013;Lu et al, 2013). The undesirable indicators related to environmental problems are usually emissions to the environment, mostly carbon, nitrogen and sulphur.…”

Growing socioeconomic inequalities and deepening polarization among and within nations indicate a major risk of political, social and economic instability. Policymakers need to deepen their awareness and understanding of the circumstances and find useful guidance and examples to inspire their effective qualitative and quantitative policies. This paper empirically investigates the relative dynamic socioeconomic efficiency of thirty OECD countries using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology. As an extension to the basic output-oriented DEA models with variable returns-to-scale, window analysis is employed. The appropriate design of window length is also proposed in the study. In the first step, the relative efficiency of the countries was measured by four economic indicators. In the second step, four new indicators were added, covering social, institutional and environmental dimensions. It has been found that, in some cases, performance rankings change very significantly and that the overall relative performance of the OECD countries increases when the set of economic indicators is extended.

“…Because DEA production frontier is not determined by some specific functional form but by the actual data from the evaluated DMUs, it has been widely used in environmental efficiency researches [14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Undesirable outputs are usually produced along with desirable outputs. However, it is difficult to evaluate undesirableoutput-considered efficiency and realize the complete sequencing of efficiency levels with traditional super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) models. In this paper, a kind of super-efficiency DEA model considering both desirable and undesirable outputs will be proposed based on the classical slack-based measure (SBM) environmental efficiency evaluation model. And the super-efficiency values will be calculated to realize the complete ranking of all decision making units (DMUs). After that, "projection" of DMUs will be used to provide benchmark for evaluated DMUs. Then, our approach is applied to an practical example of 42 thermoelectric enterprises in China. We find that there are many good properties of this new model compared with traditional models, by which not only complete sequencing of those thermoelectric enterprises can be realized but also significant differences among them can be revealed. The efficiencies of DEA inefficient enterprises are comparatively low, that is to say, these enterprises should improve their environmental efficiency levels and cleaner production largely to be efficient.
