“…For this purpose Hailu and Veeman [26] used undesirable outputs as input factors to calculate environmental efficiency. Scheel [27] even used the reciprocal transformation method in calculation. However, these methods are not consistent with the actual production process, and a deviation exists.…”

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) not only affects the economic growth but also affects the environmental protection of the host country. With China's background of pursuing green growth, we need to consider the performance of FDI from the economic and environmental benefit aspects. On this basis, using slacks-based measure directional distance function (SBMDDF) to build up green growth efficiency, economic efficiency and environmental efficiency indexes, empirical research on FDI in 104 Chinese cities from 2004 to 2011 has shown that: (1) Different cities have differences in their green growth efficiency. Shenzhen city is always efficient in green economic growth. (2) Overall, FDI is positive on Chinese cities' green growth. (3) When the green growth efficiency is broken down into economic efficiency and environmental efficiency, FDI promotes China's economic green growth through both environmental benefits and economic benefits. (4) The effect of FDI differs in different sectors. FDI in the emission-intensive sector promotes green efficiency mainly through the improvement of economic efficiency. FDI in the non-emission-intensive sector promotes economic efficiency, environmental efficiency and green efficiency.

“…Since the traditional approaches like data envelopment analysis (DEA) proposed by Charnes et al (1978) do not account for the unintended production of undesirable outputs like pollutants, different methods to incorporate emissions in nonparametric efficiency analysis (see Scheel (2001) for an overview) have been proposed. These approaches include among others the incorporation of the inverse of the undesirable outputs (see Lovell et al (1995)), the translation approach where the undesirable outputs are subtracted from a sufficient large positive number (see Seiford and Zhu (2002)) and the approach of incorporating them as weak disposable outputs (see Färe et al (1989)).…”

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.JEL classification: C14, L94, Q53
