Abstract

We highlight the state-of-the-art in the eco-efficiency measurement using Data Envelopment Analysis, including Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index. We also consider productivity change over time, provide directions for future studies in the field, and gather the most recent policy suggestions for governments, organisations and sectors for reducing CO2 emissions. A structured literature search of the Web of Science academic database reveals 311 papers published between 1989 and 2022. We carry out network analysis of citations to show the evolution of the literature in this research topic. In doing so, we (a) examine the key-route main path of knowledge flows, (b) provide basic bibliometric information about the most active journals and authors, (c) conduct a qualitative in-depth analysis of the identified most important studies and (d) identify the research fronts and relate them to the emerging issues on the topic researched, focusing on the most recent period between 2000 and 2022. Based on the insights of the literature review, the second part of this paper critically analyses the papers on the key-route (main path) of this subject. This review can be used as guidance and a starting point for researchers and practitioners that want to further investigate optimal policies to reach NetZero.

考虑NetZero和数据包络分析的生态效率：一篇批评性文献综述

我们强调了使用数据包络分析（包括Malmquist-Luenberger生产力指数）进行生态效率测量的最先进技术。我们还考虑了生产力随时间的变化，为该领域的未来研究提供了方向，并为政府、组织和部门收集了减少二氧化碳排放的最新政策建议。对科学网学术数据库的结构化文献搜索显示，1989年至2022年间发表了311篇论文。我们对引文进行了网络分析，以显示本研究主题中文献的演变。在这样做的过程中，我们（a）研究知识流动的关键途径，（b）提供最活跃期刊和作者的基本文献计量信息，（c）对已确定的最重要研究进行定性深入分析，（d）确定研究前沿，并将其与所研究主题的新问题联系起来，重点关注2000年至2022年的最近一段时间。在文献综述的基础上，本文的第二部分对这一主题的关键路线（主要路径）进行了批判性分析。这篇综述可以作为研究人员和从业者的指导和起点，他们希望进一步研究达到NetZero的最佳政策。

期刊介绍： The mission of this quarterly journal is to publish mathematical research of the highest quality, impact and relevance that can be directly utilised or have demonstrable potential to be employed by managers in profit, not-for-profit, third party and governmental/public organisations to improve their practices. Thus the research must be quantitative and of the highest quality if it is to be published in the journal. Furthermore, the outcome of the research must be ultimately useful for managers. The journal also publishes novel meta-analyses of the literature, reviews of the "state-of-the art" in a manner that provides new insight, and genuine applications of mathematics to real-world problems in the form of case studies. The journal welcomes papers dealing with topics in Operational Research and Management Science, Operations Management, Decision Sciences, Transportation Science, Marketing Science, Analytics, and Financial and Risk Modelling.
