With the acceleration of industrialization, a large amount of energy consumption has brought tremendous pressure to the natural environment. In order to prevent environmental pollution and promote sustainable development, the environmental efficiency assessment as an effective way to provide decision-making basis has been given wide attention. This study measures the environmental efficiency of 30 provinces in China from 2006 to 2015 based on the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) environmental assessment radial model both under natural disposability and managerial disposability that considered the constant variable return to scale (RTS) and the damage to scale (DTS). In addition, the scale efficiency under the two kinds of disposability of China’s 30 provinces were also measured. We found that the environmental efficiencies of different provinces in China showed regional disparities. Provinces such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong had a good performance in unified environmental efficiency and scale efficiency both under natural disposability and managerial disposability. Generally speaking, the eastern regions always performed better than the central and western regions in unified environmental efficiency during the observed years. Therefore, policies should be established to distribute the resources in balance between the east, center, and west to further promote environmental efficiency.

BACKGROUND The COVID-19 Pandemic has effected millions of people all over the world. Therefore the behaviour of countries are important to minimise the losses. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the performance of 27 European Countries on spread and deaths caused by COVID-19 pandemics by using input-oriented data envelopment analysis (DEA) method. A comparison was done between the 27 European Countries for contagion control efficiency and medical treatment efficiency. METHODS The DEA model is performed in two stages. In the first stage, the contagion control efficiency is analysed whereas in the second stage the medical treatment efficiency is evaluated. Moreover, the countries are classified into the four zone by using the area chart. For the countries in each zones, some recommendations are given. RESULTS Luxembourg has a poor performance in contagion control. In addition, Denmark and Iceland have a good performance in medical treatment of COVID-19 patients in comparison to other countries in the study. Malta, Montenegro, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Netherlands and Norway are in Area 1, showing that these countries have been acted efficiently both in contagion control and medical treatment of the patients. Italy, Spain, Iceland and Portugal are in Area 2. These countries have had good performance in medical treatment but they have had controlled the contagion inefficiently. The countries which have been acted inefficiently both in contagion control and medical treatment of the patients are in Area 3. Luxembourg, North Macedonia, Switzerland and Turkey are in critical conditions in this manner. Lastly, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, France, Germany and Croatia are in Area 4. These countries have been successful in providing a good performance in contagion control but they have had poor performance in medical treatment. CONCLUSIONS The countries are classified in to the four zones according to their performance. Countries in Area 1 has a high performance in both contagion control and medical treatment. All the other countries should follow the footprints of the countries in Area 1. In addition, Luxembourg, North Macedonia, Switzerland and Turkey are in critical conditions and need a special attention.

One of the key challenges currently faced by the European Union countries is ensuring sustainable socio-economic development. The article aims to present the results of the study concerning the effectiveness of expenditures incurred by the EU countries on sustainable development and their effects, tak ing into account the average three-year delay between the expenditures and the effects of the implemented policy. Data Envelopment Analysis was employed in the research. As an approximate measure of sustainability, the DEA efficiency indicator was used. This was due to the fact that the indicator was constructed on the basis of the value of expenditures and effects, which were crucial for the assessment and comparison of the degree of sustainable development. The research covered 28 EU countries and was carried out on the basis of data collected by Eurostat for the years 2011—2013 (expenditures) and 2014—2016 (effects). In general it can be stated that all analysed countries were characterized by high values of sustainable development indicators, which proves that the implementation of the EU sustainable development policy is highly effective. However, it is worth noting that the ranking of the countries considered to be the most economically developed is relatively low. In order to explain this fact, further indepth theoretical and empirical analyses are required.

Resumo: Neste artigo propõe-se avaliar a eficiência produtiva dos programas de pós-graduação em economia beneficiados pelas políticas públicas do Programa de Excelência Acadêmica (Proex) e do Programa de Apoio à Pós-graduação (Proap). Foram analisados 34 programas acadêmicos de economia referentes à avaliação da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes) no período de 2010 a 2012. O instrumento para o cálculo da eficiência foi obtido por meio do método de análise envoltória de dados Data Envolopment Analysis (DEA) em três estágios, denominado network DEA, com retornos constantes de escala Constant Returns to Scale (CRS), orientada ao produto, modelo introduzido por Charnes, Cooper e Rhodes (1978). No primeiro estágio, cinco programas alcançaram a eficiência nas matrículas em relação ao número de professores e ao custeio recebido da Capes. Em relação às taxas de titulações e participações em eventos, variáveis do segundo estágio, também cinco programas obtiveram êxito. No terceiro estágio, que analisou a eficiência quanto às publicações nos artigos e capítulos de livros ponderados pelo peso Capes, sete programas atingiram a eficiência. Dos programas eficientes, que oferecem simultaneamente os cursos de mestrado e doutorado, quatro se situam no primeiro estágio, quatro no segundo e três no último estágio. Os demais ofertavam somente o nível de mestrado. Verifica-se que, de acordo com os inputs e outputs adotados, todos os programas eficientes nos três estágios analisados pertencem ao Proap. Vale destacar que o modelo DEA é um método determinístico, e, dessa maneira, a avaliação do desempenho dos programas torna-se mais objetiva.Palavras-chave: Política pública. Capes. Proex. Proap.

The stability of the economic system of a country very much depends on its banking industry. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been applied widely for measuring efficiency of banks. Limited studies, however, have employed the radial and non-radial DEA models to evaluate efficiency of banks without considering the ranking of the fully efficient banks since those banks have the same efficiency score. Considering the weakness of the radial and non-radial DEA, this paper aims to calculate the banks efficiency of nine commercial banks in Malaysia from 2004 to 2013 by adopting the two-stage of super efficiency slack-based measure (SE-SBM) model. This model can discriminate between the efficient banks and recalculate their efficiency scores. Then, the selected banks were able to be ranked according to their final efficiency scores. Moreover, comparative analyses of the efficiency of the banks and the year-wise efficiency of the selected banks were also conducted. The methodology consists of two stages.  In the first stage the SBM model is run to classify efficient and inefficient banks. In the second stage the super efficiency model is run to rank the efficient banks obtained from the first stage by calculating their super efficiency scores. Our empirical results show that: (1) the efficiency status of the banks fluctuated over the examined period, the high number of the efficient banks is achieved in the years 2006 and 2008, while the year 2012 has the lowest number of the efficient banks. (2) the ranking of the banks fluctuated in the studied period. (3) most of the banks are inefficient in terms of their average efficiency scores. This paper has two limitations. First, the paper did not integrate undesirable output, despite it deals with non-interest income. Second, performance evaluation of Malaysian commercial banks was only compared among the Malaysian banks.

B-lymphocytes normally synthesize small amounts of immunoglobulin, some of which is incorporated into the cell membrane where it serves as receptor of antigen. These cells, on contact with specific antigen, proliferate and differentiate to plasma cells which synthesize and secrete large quantities of immunoglobulin. The two stages of differentiation of this cell line (generation of B-lymphocytes and antigen-driven maturation to plasma cells) are clearly separable during ontogeny and in some immune deficiency diseases. The present report describes morphologic aberrations of B-lymphocytes in two diseases in which second stage differentiation is defective.
