achieve economic growth, this research, aims to study the variables affecting economic
and environmental efficiency.
Methods: In the first part of the envelopment analysis of network data the economic
efficiency of European Union (EU) countries was calculated according to the input
variables. In the second part, the environmental efficiency of EU countries was
evaluated based on the two important outputs of greenhouse gas emissions and the
absorption of polluting gases. Finally, countries were ranked accordingly.
Results: Correlation analysis showed that almost all input and output variables are
positively correlated and thus meet the isotonic need. Likewise, all of them can be
selected for evaluation using the DEA technique. Also the results indicated that 5
countries, including Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United
Kingdom were efficient in the first stage. Besides, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Ireland,
Latvia, and Luxembourg were in the second step.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that none of the countries was recognized
as total efficiency. Thus, none of the countries were able to operate simultaneously in
both the economic efficiency and the environmental efficiency phase.
