Enhanced Dynamic Network DEA: A Novel Algorithm for Sustainable Development Efficiency Assessment in “Internet Plus Logistics” Sector

Abstract

This study introduces the enhanced dynamic network DEA, an innovative algorithmic extension of the foundational data envelopment analysis (DEA), to assess the sustainable development efficiency of Jiangxi Province’s “Internet Plus Logistics” sector from 2002 to 2016. This methodology leverages a comprehensive evaluation indicator system, emphasizing waterway, highway, and railway logistics outputs. The integration of custom algorithms into the CCR and BCC models has provided a deeper insight into efficiency trends and highlighted the need for a shift to an intensive economic model. Key findings pinpoint specific inefficiencies and their causes, emphasizing the value of our method in offering precise insights. Ultimately, this research not only advances the DEA methodological landscape but also offers strategic directions for sustainable development in “Internet Plus Logistics.”
