This paper presents an efficiency assessment of selected OECD countries using a Slacks Based Model with undesirable or bad outputs (SBM-Undesirable). In this research, SBM-Undesirable is used first in a two-stage approach to assess the relative efficiency of OECD countries using the most frequent indicators adopted by the literature on energy efficiency. Besides, in the second stage, GLMM–MCMC methods are combined with SBM-Undesirable results as part of an attempt to produce a model for energy performance with effective predictive ability. The results reveal different impacts of contextual variables, such as economic blocks and capital–labor ratio, on energy efficiency levels.

- Energy efficiency, carbon emission performance, and technology gaps: Evidence from CDM project investment (2018, background): “This is mainly attributed to that the total factor energy efficiency of developed countries is very high (Honma and Hu, 2014), leading to their emissions reduction cost being so high to further improve their energy efficiency and carbon emissions reduction (Apergis et al., 2015).”
- Air emissions perspective on energy efficiency: An empirical analysis of China's coastal areas (2017, methodology): “[30] presented an efficiency assessment of selected OECD countries using a slacks-based measure (SBM) model with undesirable outputs.”
- Determinants of energy efficiency and energy consumption of Eastern Europe post-communist economies (2017, background): “Apergis et al.(25) investigated energy consumption in OECD countries during the period of 1985–2011 and concluded that energy consumption is rising due to a rising population.”
