The evaluation of development performance of Chinese regional low-carbon economy based on three-stage DEA model. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 1449.90177

Summary: From the perspective of economic efficiency, \({\mathrm{CO}}_2\) emissions are regarded as undesired outputs. In this paper, linear data transfer function methods are used to convert the low-carbon economic development performance into bigger and better expected outputs, and three-phase DEA method is used to evaluate the performance of low-carbon economic development in provinces and cities in China. The results show that after eliminating environmental and random factors, the average technical efficiency and pure technical efficiency of low-carbon economic development in provinces and cities are underestimated, while the average scale efficiency is overestimated. The overall level of low-carbon economic development is not high, but the development performance of low-carbon economy in 2010–2014 is on the rise. The study finds that the regional differences are obvious. Eastern China is the highest and central China is the lowest, which is different slightly from the traditional economic situation.
