Abstract

This study uses the dynamic DEA model to evaluate inter-temporal efficiency for executive efficiency based on fossil-fuel CO2 emissions in OECD countries and China. The significant difference between this study and previous studies is the assumption of energy stock, defined as a carry-over intermediate linking different terms. This model provides a ratio as a standard for energy stock to be adjusted, which is based on the assessment of the optimal quantity of energy stock. In addition, we explore output and input inefficiency indicators in the model to figure out the sources of operational inefficiency.
