A joint-inputs Network DEA approach to production and pollution-generating technologies

作者：

Highlights：

• Production and pollution generation are modeled as parallel processes Network DEA.

• Pollution-generating inputs are jointly consumed by both processes.

• A units-invariant, non-oriented Network SBM efficiency measure is proposed.

• The efficiency of the two processes can also be computed.

• Potential applications include all production cum pollution generation situations.
