Renewable energies and operational and environmental efficiencies of the US oil and gas companies: A True Fixed Effect model

Energy economics and environment protection are important issues in a modern society that aspires to aim at sustainable development. The evaluation of environmental and operational efficiency would be an important first step towards sustainable development. Renewable energies, especially hydroelectr...
