Life-cycle data envelopment analysis to measure efficiency and cost-effectiveness of environmental regulation in China’s transport sector

The synergistic reduction of CO2 emissions and air pollutants is of great concerns in China’s transport sector environmental regulation. This study built up a life-cycle data envelopment analysis model to inclusively measure CO2 and PM2.5 management performance of China’s 30 provinces’ transport sec...
