“…The DEA methodology has also been applied to evaluate the environmental efficiencies of DMUs, and eco‐efficiency has been introduced as a proxy for measuring the economic and environmental performance of DMUs (Egilmez et al, 2014; Mahmoudi, Emrouznejad, Shetab‐Boushehri, & Hejazi, 2020). Many studies used DEA as eco‐efficiency analysis and benchmarking method for manufacturing (Egilmez, Kucukvar, & Tatari, 2013), construction (Tatari & Kucukvar, 2012), food production (Egilmez, Gumus, Kucukvar, & Tatari, 2016; Egilmez, Kucukvar, & Park, 2016), electric vehicle technologies (Onat, Kucukvar, Aboushaqrah, & Jabbar, 2019; Onat, Kucukvar, & Afshar, 2019), energy (Li, Xie, & Wang, 2019), and industrial sectors (Goto & Sueyoshi, 2020).…”

The sustainability impact of air transportation has become crucial to communities. Airports around the world are forced to be transparent with the society and to declare their sustainability results. As the sustainability goals and objectives and due to its multi‐dimension aspects that are needed to be decided of and subsequently improved, the decision has been taken, and the parameters have been selected due to its significance in this field. This research presents a managerial approach combining the optimization‐based frontier approach with the Global Report Initiative's comprehensive sustainability database for selected 30 major international airports based on data availability. In this regard, eco‐efficiency analysis is carried out with four different models using input‐oriented modeling with multiple undesirable environmental inputs (energy, carbon, water, and waste) and desirable outputs (revenue, passenger and employment) to compare efficiency and sustainability levels of airports in different contexts. Finally, performance improvement targets of each environmental indicators are presented for the airports. These comparative models reveal different frontier airports, which provide the opportunity to analyze diversified reference points for the same decision‐making unit. The presented statistical study has shown that San Francisco, Hong Kong, Hamad International Airport are the most efficient airports in terms of overall sustainability performance based on collected data and selected indicators. The authors also concluded that there is a discrepancy in sustainability data reporting between airports, and there is a need for collecting complete, consistent and real‐time social, environmental, economic, and governance data, to better compare and evaluate the performance of each airport from a sustainability perspective.

Hava taşımacılığının sürdürülebilirlik etkisi ve sonuçlarının raporlanması toplumlar için önemli bir hale gelmiştir. Bu alanda Küresel Rapor Girişimi kronolojik olarak birçok sektöre ait raporlamayı ve veri tabanını ilgililerin bilgisine sunmaktadır. Günümüzde ise artık dünyanın dört bir yanındaki havalimanları sorumluluk bilincinde olarak şeffaf bir şekilde sürdürülebilirlik sonuçlarını halka arz etmektedirler. Bu açıdan havalimanlarının sürdürülebilirlik performansının ölçülmesi ve hedeflerin belirlenerek gerekli iyileştirilmelerin yapılması büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Küresel Rapor Girişimi'nin kapsamlı sürdürülebilirlik veri tabanında yer alan 30 uluslararası havalimanının Veri Zarflama Yöntemi (VZA) ile verimlilik ve etkinlik analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu bağlamda, havalimanlarında sürdürülebilirliğe etki eden ortak girdi ve çıktılar belirlenmiş ve sürdürülebilirlik performans ölçüm modeli geliştirilmiştir. Geliştirilen model kullanılarak havalimanlarının göreceli etkinlik puanları girdi odaklı CCR metodu ile bulunmuştur. Sonuçların neticesinde etkin olmayan havalimanları tespit edilerek sürdürülebilirlik seviyelerini iyileştirmeleri için gerekli öneriler sunulmuştur.The sustainability impact and reporting results of air transport have become important for societies. In this field, the Global Reporting Initiative presents the reports and databases of many sectors in chronological order. Nowadays, airports all over the world transparently present their sustainability results to the public with a sense of responsibility. In this respect, measuring the sustainability performance of airports, determining the targets, and making the necessary improvements become more of an issue. In this study, the efficiency analysis of 30 international airports included in the comprehensive sustainability database of the Global Reporting Initiative was carried out using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In this context, common inputs and outputs affecting the sustainability of airports were determined and a sustainability performance measurement model was developed. The relative efficiency scores of the airports were found with the input-oriented CCR method by using the developed model. Thanks to the results, inefficient airports were identified, and necessary improvements were presented to improve sustainability levels.

These studies found that the new round of reform improved electricity generation efficiency, enhanced the productive efficiency of the electricity sector, reduced energy prices for households, and increased renewable energy generation.…”

In between the state and the market: An empirical assessment of the early achievements of China's 2015 electricity reform

This is the first study to investigate and quantify the extent to which the 2015 reform has already impacted the economic and technical performance as well as the security of supply of China's electricity sector. We use provincial data from 2003 to 2018 to estimate the impacts of the reform on on-grid prices, average retail electricity prices (including those for households) and supply reliability. We adopt fixed effect models together with other dynamic panel data models. We find that the 2015 reform has already had a negative impact on on-grid prices of electricity generated from thermal energy and on overall average retail prices, but the impacts on other prices are not statistically significant. Our results also suggest that the 2015 reform has had significantly negative impacts on technical efficiency, as measured by the coal burned per unit of thermal generation, but no impact on the line loss rate of electricity transmission. In addition, our empirical analysis suggests that the 2015 reform has reduced reliability and increased the instances of supply interruptions. These results are robust to different estimators and models. Finally, the effect of the reform is heterogeneous across regions. Our findings suggest that additional steps are needed to further improve the overall economic efficiency of the electricity sector in China, despite significant progress arising from the 2015 reform. The results may also provide useful lessons for other developing economies aiming to reform their power sectors and who are facing similar choices between the roles of the state and the market in ensuring efficient outcomes.
