DEA-BASED DYNAMIC ASSESSMENT OF REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFICIENCY

Abstract

We apply window Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to the solution of the problem of assessment of the efficiency of regional production systems in Southern Russia. The proposed method allows to monitor the changes in efficiency of regional economic systems throughout time and has a high discrimination power. The simplicity of the technical implementation of the proposed method and the availability of the necessary software for its use allow one to hope for its wide implementation in the modern practice of regional environmental management.
