The origin and development of the technical efficiency analysis in the economy from an environmental viewpoint

Lucindo Blasco, Jesús ; Feijóo Marisa (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: Objective: Determine the technically efficient behavior for any agent in the economy, being responsible for its environmental performance.
Methodology: Review of the state of the art of the literature on the analysis of technical efficiency from an environmental perspective.
Results: Determine a behavior for an economy and ecological efficiency in order to assume a sustainable development.
Limitations: Given the theoretical modelling developed, the main drawbacks are: the non-presence in the predictive models of the cost of the environmental impact, the lack of tools to collect adequately those impacts that are delayed in time and, finally, the limita- tions to investigate the influence of the uncontrollable natural factors.
Practical implications: Action guides for individuals, firms and states to meet their needs with the least impact on the environment. Special attention to supply to decision-makers with an adequate study for the proper design of environmental regulations.
