Dynamic Problems of Estimation of Ecological-Economic Efficiency of Regions Based on Basic Models of Data Envelopment Analysis

The paper describes the results of the comparative analysis of the applicability of several methods for solving dynamic DEA-models to the problem of monitoring of the ecological and economic efficiency of economic activities of regional economic systems (on the example of the regions of the Central Federal District). The method of forming time series based on point estimates of environmental and economic efficiency the Malmquist method and the window method is considered. The results obtained for different window widths are analyzed for stability and adequacy. A comparison of the obtained results allows us to conclude that the window method is uniquely preferable for solving problems of monitoring the ecological and economic efficiency of regions not only from a computational but also from a substantive point of view.
