“…At the first stage, the Russell-type (input-output) directional distance function was used to compute the input-and output-specific technical inefficiency (Gaitán-Cremaschi, van Evert, Meuwissen, and Oude Lansink (2015), Mahlberg andSahoo (2011), andWang, Zhou, andZhou (2013)). The Russell-type (input-output) directional distance function accounts for the inefficiency due to the slacks in inputs and outputs.…”

Vietnamese pangasius farming needs to produce efficiently to compete in world markets. This study investigates the inputand output-specific technical inefficiency of Vietnamese pangasius farmers. First, we used a Russell-type (input-output) directional distance function to estimate the input-and outputspecific technical inefficiency. Second, we applied a bootstrap truncated regression to analyze the factors influencing these technical inefficiencies. Results show that the main challenges for enhancing the performance of Vietnamese pangasius production are inadequate use of capital assets (inefficiency of 42%) and improper methods to achieve higher fish yield (inefficiency of 30%). Input-specific technical inefficiency (pond area and feed) is negatively associated with the experience and education level of pangasius farmers. Location of the farm in a saltwater intrusion area is positively associated with the inefficiency of producing fish. Outcomes of this study are useful to identify successful strategies to minimize the use of inputs while simultaneously maximizing fish production.

“…At the regional level, Seppala et al [49] applied gross domestic product (GDP), value added of industries and output at the basic prices to represent the value of products and services in the Kymenlaakso region. In addition, GDP was also used to represent the values of products and services for analyzing eco-efficiency of cities in China [14], environmental efficiency of a regional economy [50], environmental efficiency of the 22 OECD countries [51] and environmental performance [52].…”

“…Chemical oxygen demand (COD) emissions, SO 2 emissions, and soot and dust emissions were chosen as some undesirable output indicators for analyzing eco-efficiency [12,14,54]. In addition, Mahlberg and Sahoo [51] took the greenhouse gas as the undesirable output to measure environmental efficiency of the 22 OECD countries. Zhang et al [12] chose solid waste as one of the undesirable outputs to assess eco-efficiency of industrial system in China.…”

“…The number of employed persons can represent a region's stability, prosperity and vitality [57]. Mahlberg and Sahoo [51] found labor is one of the most important inputs, and considered the social indicator (labor) for eco-efficiency analysis of the 22 OECD countries. Some other studies also selected labor as an input indicator to measure eco-efficiency [6,14,54,58,59].…”

Abstract:The level of sustainable development can be measured by eco-efficiency, which is a combination of economic and ecological performance. Utilizing the weighted sum of the improved proportions of the indicators as the objective function, this paper develops a proportional slacks-based measure model to assess eco-efficiency, in which the conventional inputs, and desirable and undesirable outputs are improved to different proportions along the elements of a given directional vector. Moreover, this paper presents a weighted proportional slacks-based measure model using the ranges as the divisors instead of the input and output values in the objective function. Finally, this paper presents an empirical analysis by applying proposed measure models with the data of 30 provinces in China in 2015. The empirical study results indicate the developed slacks-based measure models can be used in the assessment of eco-efficiency effectively and reasonably.

“…As indicated in Fukuyama and Weber (2009) and Zhou et al (2012) a conventional DDF model may overestimate the efficiency when non-zero slacks appears in the efficiency measures, hence, a new generation of non-radial DDF model has been introduced to the DEA literature (Fukuyama et al, 2011) and have been successfully applied in many applications (Fukuyama and Weber, 2010;Mahlberg and Sahoo, 2011;Sahoo et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2013;Zhou et al, 2012). DDF models have also been applied in many disciplines including energy efficiency , assessment of banks (Barros et al, 2012), agriculture (Blancard et al, 2006).…”
