Abstract

Industrial efficiency is important for the development of regional
economic policies. Based on a network data envelopment analysis
(DEA) methodology which considered undesirable outputs and links
between sub-processes, we studied the overall industrial efficiency,
pollution governance efficiency and industrial production efficiency of
China's largest five urban agglomerations (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yang-
tze River Delta, Middle Reaches of Yangtze River, Pearl River Delta, and
Chengdu-Chongqing) during 2000-2014.
