China is the world's largest CO2 producer and energy consumer. In this paper, we calculate the maximum technically obtainable CO2 emissions reduction from the efficient use of inputs and estimate the shadow prices of CO2 emissions in order to assess the potential cost savings deriving from...

In this paper, we apply the so-called meta-frontier non-radial directional distance function approach to a performance analysis of 143 Chinese banks over the period 2006–13. We find that relative to the group frontier in each market segment, the Big-5 Chinese banks display good efficiency....
