Zastosowanie metody DEA do oceny efektywności badań na rzecz ochrony powietrza i klimatu
Application of DEA method in the assessment of efficiency of air and climate protection activities

Summary/Abstract: Air quality is one of the determinants of quality of life of a contemporary human. This article presents research results on an efficiency evaluation of Polish provinces’ activities regarding air and climate protection. The efficiency evaluation of activities was carried out with the application of DEA method – NR-CCR input-oriented model. For the empirical analysis, secondary data for 2015 available in the official statistics were used. The main result of the research was a classification of provinces into efficient and inefficient objects as well as the ranking of inefficient provinces with their benchmarks suggestion. Apart from defining the average efficiency of transforming inputs into outputs in provinces the application of NR-CCR model also allowed for calculating the partial efficiency of the defined inputs. As a result, it was possible to identify inefficiency sources of air protection activities undertaken in provinces, which could hinder the improvement of air and climate quality.
