Assessment of eco-efficiency change considering energy and environment: A study of China’s non-ferrous metals industry

In this paper, we comprehensively consider the environment and economic performance by employing non-radial distance function to study the regional eco-efficiency of China’s Non-ferrous Metals Industry (NMI) during 2000–2016, from the perspective of total-factor through Data Envelopment Analysis (DE...

Abstract In this paper, we comprehensively consider the environment and economic performance by employing non-radial distance function to study the regional eco-efficiency of China’s Non-ferrous Metals Industry (NMI) during 2000–2016, from the perspective of total-factor through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)-Malmquist analysis framework. The change of regional technology gap ratio and the source of regional eco-inefficiency is also explored. Moreover, this paper analyzes the evolution of regional eco-efficiency and the main factors that contribute to changes in eco-efficiency. The results indicate that: First, the eco-efficiency of China’s NMI has improved and has shown a certain degree of regional heterogeneity. Second, the main source of eco-inefficiency is management inefficiency in eastern China. The central, western and northeastern China all showed an increasing trend of technology gap inefficiency and a declining trend of management inefficiency during the sample period. Third, eastern China is regarded as a technology leader. The improvement of eco-efficiency in the central and northeastern China is mainly due to the promotion of technological progress, while the western region relies on the improvement of technical efficiency. The study suggests that strengthening scientific and technological research, promoting inter-regional technical exchanges are particularly important for eco-efficiency improvement and regional coordinated development in China’s NMI.
