In this study Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used not only to develop an efficiencyindex which combines economic activity, CO2 emissions and energy consumption of theproduction process in the 31 countries of Europe for the year 2004, but also to makeestimates about the margins of long term increase or decrease in the consumption levelsof exhaustible energy resources of a selected sample (Switzerland, Greece, UnitedKingdom, and Luxembourg) of European countries (out of 31) which belong to the highincome group of OECD members.As shown, each country can achieve better TE whenits increased economic activity is combined with improved ecological performance.It can be noticed from the analysis that the developed economies that tend to stabilizetheir environmental degradation through time (Switzerland), as the GDP (per capitaGDP) increases, ensure satisfactory margins for the increase in the consumption ofthe ‘dirty’ energy index (DEI) in the long term, and thus contribute to sustainableeconomic development. This fact is significantly different in countries showing eitherintense deterioration (Greece) or temporary improvement (United Kingdom, Luxemburg)in the pollution levels without any indications of a temperate stabilization ofenvironmental degradation. |
