Green innovation has been the most important strategy for countries to gain sustainable development because of the popular environmental protection trend. By application of DEA-Malmquist productivity index approach, this paper evaluates the green innovation efficiency from the year 2005 to 2010 on the national, regional, and provincial level in China. The empirical results reveal that the green innovation efficiency at national level increases steadily, but differs a lot between the eastern, middle and western areas, eastern area best, western area worst and middle areas in the middle. Technological progress is the main enabler which promotes the green innovation efficiency of provinces, while the technological efficiency decline is the main barrier which blocks the green innovation efficiency of provinces. Based on the empirical results, this paper proposes the countermeasures to different development level provinces.

One of the main purposes of the 2015 Environmental Protection Law (EPL) of the People's Republic of China is to boost the green innovation of the enterprises. Using heavy-polluting enterprises as examples, this paper uses the Difference-in-difference analysis (DDD) technique to analyze the influence of EPL on the green innovation of enterprises under fiscal decentralization and enterprise heterogeneity. Results show that EPL exerts a negative impact on the green innovation of heavy-polluting enterprises at the national level, as well as those in the central and western areas specifically. The only presence of positive motivation for green innovation is being found in the eastern area, although, the motivation seems to be insignificant. The negative impacts have been lasting in the long run, especially for the low-performance enterprises in the central areas. As for the targeted implementation of EPL in China, local governments should make the best use of financial power under fiscal decentralization. This balanced approach is designed to motivate enterprises in different regions with various performance levels to develop green innovation based on their different weaknesses and strengths.

Index Approach

The rationale of this paper is to measure the productivity change of commercial banks in Ethiopia based on DEA-based Malmquist productivity index approach. For this purpose, this study employed a balanced panel data of eight commercial banks operating from 2006 to 2017. The result shows that the banks under study were found to have reported a slight productivity progress of 0.4% over the whole study period. The productivity improvement is accredited to the technological progress (0.9%) rather than the efficiency loss (0.5%). Meanwhile, the finding suggests that the decline in the technical efficiency of the banks was caused both by pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency. Alternatively, the finding of the study indicates that the productivity performance of all the banks under study, with the exception of AIB and CBE, remain almost constant in spite of their size during the period. AIB and CBE have exhibit an average productivity progress of 2% and 1.4% respectively during the study period. In the study period, AIB was found to be the most inefficient (2.4%) and the most productive one (2%) comparing to other banks in the study due to retrogress in scale efficiency change (2.1%) as well as technical progress (4.5%) in that order. Further, the paper suggests that the productivity performance of the banks under study was not significantly different in the period. So, the banks have to move forwards their technology to increase productivity more and more, while improving the resource utilization efficiency by up grading their managerial practices and scale operations (optimum size)
