Urban eco-efficiency and its influencing factors in Western China: Fresh evidence from Chinese cities based on the US-SBM

Improving eco-efficiency can promote sustainable development. This study first evaluated the urban eco-efficiency of 84 cities in Western China from 2004 to 2017 by the undesirable-super-slack-based measure (US-SBM) and analysed their spatiotemporal characteristics, and then investigated its influen...
