DEA in the ecological context — An overview

Abstract

Data envelopment analysis has a high application potential for environmental management/ecological controlling, especially for eco-benchmarking projects. The aim of this paper is to provide some basics for DEA applications within this scope. DEA assumes that inputs and outputs are ‘goods’, but from an ecological perspective also ‘bads’ have to be considered. The potential and state-of-the-art of DEA in the ecological context are outlined. Modelling alternatives, axiomatic modifications, and application driven extensions are described, followed by a concept for DEA applications in environmental performance measurement as well as a framework for future research.
