Research on the Evaluation of Enterprises’ Green Growth Efficiency Based on DEMATEL-DEA

Abstract

AbstractWith the transformation of economic growth modes, green growth is becoming the main source of global economic growth for the future. Enterprises are the main carriers of the economic growth in a country or a region, and enterprises’ green growth efficiency determines the regional sustainable growth ability. On this basis, this paper investigates the problem of enterprises’ green growth efficiency in China and identifies the input and output indexes of the green growth using the DEMATEL method. Then, through the super efficiency DEA model, this paper measures the enterprise green growth efficiency of 31 regions in China in the years 2003, 2007 and 2012. In accordance with the four parts, including the East, the Central, the West and the Northeast, this paper completes a spatial and temporal variation analysis. The results show that there is an obvious regional difference in enterprise green growth efficiency in China during the above 3 years. Ranking the average efficiency from high to low, the order is as follows: the West, Central region, the Northeast and the East. Enterprise green growth efficiency shows a rising trend in the Northeast, and other regions show a downward trend. The enterprise green growth efficiency in the East is higher than the national average, and the efficiency in the other regions is less than the national average.
