Abstract

This research introduces the context-dependent total-factor energy efficiency (CD-TFEE) and applies it to find the frontier levels of China’s regions in 2014. In this empirical example, CD-TFEE generates different results from the context-dependent data envelopment analysis (CD-DEA) proposed by Seiford and Zhu (Omega, 31(5):397–408, 2003). China’s regions in 2014 can be categorized into five levels of TFEE frontiers, and almost two-thirds of Chinese regions can target the domestic benchmarks to improve their energy efficiency.

Apparently, RDDF with the quasi-fixed inputs model is a non-radial DEA model. It is a more generalized model than other non-radial DEA models (such as slack-based model). For details, please refer to Färe and Grosskopf (2010).
