• Sources of production inefficiency and productivity growth in China: A global data envelopment analysis (2015, background): “In recent years, progressively greater numbers of researchers have realized that the early estimates of productivity are, to some extent, biased as they only took economic efficiency into account and ignored the undesirable outputs like environmental pollution (Watanabe and Tanaka, 2007).”
• Metafroniter energy efficiency with CO2 emissions and its convergence analysis for China (2015, unknown): “It has been widely used in the evaluation of technical efficiency with undesirable output (Chen and Golley, 2014; He et al., 2013; Kaneko and Managi, 2004; Song et al., 2012; Watanabe and Tanaka, 2007; Zhang and Choi, 2014; Zhang et al., 2011; Zhou and Ang, 2008; Zhou et al., 2014b).”
• Environmental efficiency analysis of transportation system in China:A non-radial DEA approach (2013, methodology): “For a similar reason, Watanabe and Tanaka (2007) and Yeh et al. (2010) also evaluated environmental efficiency in China either on a provincial level or on a regional level.”
• Empirical Analysis of Provincial Energy Efficiency in China (2009, background): “Furthermore, considering the energy efficiency value is between 0 and 1, a Tobit estimation on Equation (3) is necessary (Lam and Shiu, 2001; Watanabe and Tanaka, 2007).”
• Environmental efficiency assessment of U.S. transport sector: A slack-based data envelopment analysis approach (2016, unknown): “Under the weak disposability property, a reduction in undesirable outputs will result in a reduction of desirable outputs, while strong disposability assumes that it is possible to reduce the desirable output without changing the undesirable outputs (Watanabe and Tanaka, 2007).”
• Linear programming models for measuring economy-wide energy efficiency performance (2008, unknown): “McClelland (1999), Boyd et al. (2002), Färe et al. (2004), Watanabe and Tanaka (2007), and Zhou et al. (2006, 2007, 2008b).”
• Environmental efficiency of the Indian cement industry: An interstate analysis (2010, background): “, Taskin and Zaim, 2000; Zaim and Taskin, 2000) estimates environmental efficiency (considering only undesirable output) and industrial efficiency (considering only desirable output) separately and then take a ratio of the two to calculate efficiency of the production unit in the presence of undesir”
