Eco-Productivity Analysis of the Municipal Solid Waste Service in the Apulia Region from 2010 to 2017
This paper presents a dynamic efficiency study of the solid waste management in the municipalities of the Apulia region (Southern Italy). The study employs the non-parametric Global Malmquist Index to measure the change in productivity of the municipal solid waste service from 2010 to 2017. Three di...

This paper presents a dynamic efficiency study of the solid waste management in the municipalities of the Apulia region (Southern Italy).

Three different DEA-based models are implemented to measure productivity.
