TLDR
This study reviews the literature on data envelopment analysis (DEA) applications in sustainability using citation-based approaches and constructs a directional network based on citation relationships among DEA papers published in journals indexed by the Web of Science database from 1996 to March 2016.About:

Conceptualising sustainability assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare TBL approaches and principles-based approaches to developing such sustainability criteria, concluding that the latter are more appropriate, since they avoid many of the inherent limitations of the triple-bottom-line as a conception of sustainability.

Twenty years of the Journal of Knowledge Management: a bibliometric analysis
TL;DR: An exclusive bibliometric analysis of its publications until 2016 is presented and its main trends are identified, which shows a positive evolution in the number of publications and a growing interest in publishing in JKM.

Economics of energy and environmental efficiency: evidence from OECD countries.
TL;DR: The practical outcomes illustrate that Brunei, Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong are the most effective and efficient states for the 5 years periods (2013–2017) in terms of energy efficiency and to reduce emission of carbon dioxide.
Measuring Eco-inefficiency: A New Frontier Approach
Chien-Ming Chen,Magali A. Delmas +1 more
TL;DR: This paper identifies critical flaws of existing frontier models and shows that under these models eco-inefficient firms can be identified as eco-efficient and develops a new eco-infficiency frontier model that rectifies these problems.

Measuring the efficiency of decision making units
TL;DR: A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs and methods for objectively determining weights by reference to the observational data for the multiple outputs and multiple inputs that characterize such programs.

Some Models for Estimating Technical and Scale Inefficiencies in Data Envelopment Analysis
TL;DR: The CCR ratio form introduced by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes, as part of their Data Envelopment Analysis approach, comprehends both technical and scale inefficiencies via the optimal value of the ratio form, as obtained directly from the data without requiring a priori specification of weights and/or explicit delineation of assumed functional forms of relations between inputs and outputs as mentioned in this paper.

Estimation and inference in two-stage, semi-parametric models of production processes
Léopold Simar,Paul W. Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a coherent data-generating process (DGP) is described for nonparametric estimates of productive efficiency on environmental variables in two-stage procedures to account for exogenous factors that might affect firms’ performance.

Handbook on Constructing Composite Indicators: Methodology and User Guide
Michela Nardo,Michaela Saisana,Andrea Saltelli,Stefano Tarantola,Anders Hoffman,Enrico Giovannini +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a handbook for constructing and using composite indicators for policy makers, academics, the media and other interested parties, which is concerned with those which compare and rank country performance in areas such as industrial competitiveness, sustainable development, globalisation and innovation.
A Slacks Based Measure of Efficiency in Data Envelopment Analysis
TL;DR: A Slacks-Based measure of efficiency of efficiency in DEA that deals directly with the input surplus and the output shortage of the decision making unit (DMU) concerned and is unit invariant and monotone decreasing with respect toinput surplus and output shortage.
