Investment Efficiency DEA Analysis of Pollution Control in China

Abstract:

Environmental problems have been obstacles hindering the countries and regions healthy development. How to scientifically and efficiently use the relatively limited fund to control environmental pollution problem is significant. Based on the model of DEA, this paper builds the evaluation index system of environmental pollution treatment investment to analyze environment pollution control investment efficiency. Results show that the main factor leading to the poor government efficiency is not the mount of money, but the unreasonable capital utilization. Nationwide 31 provinces and cities analysis data in China shows that the total investment waste reaches 1.97342 trillion yuan and the gap of emissions of three wastes including waste gas, waste water, solid waste between actual quantity and the ideal target quantity is respectively 26.49738 billion tons, 16.17551 billion tons and 26.49738 billion tons. This paper proves that DEA model is scientific and feasible to evaluate the environmental pollution governance efficiency.
