Performance measurement and joint production of intended and unintended outputs
The generation of unintended residuals when producing intended outputs is the key factor behind our serious problems with pollution. The way this...

Modelling Production of Bad Outputs: Theory and Empirics
Generally, unintended outputs are generated while producing desired outputs. Standard production theory ignores the production of unintended outputs,...

Rejoinders to the comments on my paper “Performance measurement and joint production of intended and unintended outputs”
I will comment on the comments by the groups of three reviewers separately. First of all, I will thank all three groups providing a first round of...

Proper modelling of industrial production systems with unintended outputs: a different perspective
The question of how to properly model production systems with unintended outputs has proven both controversial and of particular interest to the...

Revealed pollution abatement costs revisited
Surveys of the costs of inputs assigned to pollution abatement (Stated Costs) have been the principal method used to estimate pollution abatement...

A state-level resource allocation model for emission reduction and efficiency improvement in thermal power plants
This paper develops a framework for centralized allocation of resources and production targets among firms that produce a bad output side-by-side...

Prevention or cure? Optimal abatement mix
We develop a model for pollution abatement that distinguishes between prevention and treatment technologies, in order to better understand the...

The Estimation of a Polluting By-Production Technology Using Statistical Copulas
We estimate the parameters of a two-equation by-production technology defined as an intersection of two sub-technologies producing one good, and two...

Bad Outputs
Inadequacies of the traditional, single-equation representations of models of emission-generating technologies prominently associated with the...

Growing green: enablers and barriers for Africa
Discussions about green growth transition in Africa have mostly been silent on quantifying Africa’s progress and assessing countries’ “green" versus...

Dynamics of Operational Efficiency in Credit Lending and Recovery of Stressed Assets: An Alternative Approach with Undesirable By-Products
Our study estimates the operational efficiency of Indian banks during 2009–2010 to 2017–2018, considering advances, and recovery of stressed assets...

Energy, renewable and technical efficiency convergence: a global evidence
Efficient energy consumption has become a top priority for countries in combating climate change while the contribution of renewable energy in the...

Production and the Environment
Production theory offers a mathematical framework for modeling important relationships between production activities and the environment. These...

Data Envelopment Analysis: A Nonparametric Method of Production Analysis
In the Operations Research/Management Science literature, the nonparametric method of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has gained wide popularity as a...

Duality in Production
The chapter reviews the application of duality theory in production theory. Duality theory turns out to be a useful tool for two reasons: (i) it...

Evaluation of environmental energy efficiency and its influencing factors: a prefecture-level analysis of Japanese manufacturing industries
This study evaluates the progress of efficient energy use and the control of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions in Japan between 1990 and 2012. A new...
