Abstract: (276 Views)
Analyzing the efficiency of countries in the field of sustainable development, especially with focus on the effect of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants on human health, can be very useful for regional and global development policymaking. This study evaluates the performance of 38 OECD countries by providing a DFM model. Comparing the changes in the rate of increase in output and the rate of decrease in inputs for the efficiency of decision units in DFM and CCR models is one of the objectives of this study. This research is applied research in terms of purpose and is descriptive research in terms of implementation. According to the review of the literature and research background of CO2 emissions, NOx emissions, SO2 emissions, health expenditure and heavy metals as input, and air quality indicators based on environmental performance index (EPI) report such as PMW, PME and HAD been considered as output. The results showed that inefficient countries should make the most change in the input variables such as CO2 emissions, NOx emissions, SO2 emissions in order to reach the efficiency frontier; therefore, paying attention to the management and control of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants can be effective in changing inefficient countries with poor performance in environmental sustainability. The analysis also showed that in order to improve the sustainability in inefficient countries, policymakers should pay close attention to reducing and controlling CO2 emissions, NOx emissions and SO2 emissions, and to discuss specific budget allocations for the prevention and treatment of air pollution-related diseases. According to the research method, two modeling methods of evaluating the efficiency of countries in the field of sustainable development were compared and the advantages of DFM model in comparison to CCR were studied.
