Analyzing efficiency measurement and influencing factors of China’s marine green economy: Based on a two-stage network DEA model
Summary
This study measured marine green economy efficiency across Chinese coastal provinces from 2006 to 2018 using a two-stage network data envelopment analysis model, finding that production efficiency generally improved while ecological efficiency remained lower, and identifying economic development level as a key influencing factor.
This research adopts a two-stage network DEA model to measure marine green economy efficiency from 2006 to 2018 and employs the panel Tobit model to analyze the influencing factors. The results indicate that total efficiency and production efficiency of China’s marine green economy generally show a fluctuating downward trend. Further investigation of influencing factors shows that foreign direct investment and opening up have a significantly positive effect on total efficiency of the marine green economy, while industrial development level and marine economy development level have a negative effect on it. Additionally, these variables have varying impacts on different stages of the marine green economy. Our findings help identify the operational characteristics of the marine green economy at different stages and can assist policymakers in optimizing the development pattern of the marine economy.

Spatiotemporal Differences in Marine Environment Quality in China and the Influencing Factors
Researchers analyzed panel data from 2011 to 2020 across China's coastal cities and provinces using the entropy method and Theil index to construct marine environment quality (MEQ) indicators and measure regional heterogeneity. The study applied a geographic detector model to identify driving factors and found MEQ increased in waves but remained relatively low, with a spatial pattern of higher quality in northern and southern regions.
Measurement and temporal and spatial characteristics of agricultural eco-efficiency under climate change: a case study of Anhui, China
Researchers applied super-efficient DEA-SBM analysis to measure agricultural eco-efficiency across Anhui Province, China, quantifying non-point source pollution from livestock breeding and chemical fertilizers. They found that eco-efficiency followed an 'inverted N' trend over time and exhibited spatial agglomeration patterns, with significant north-south regional differences driven by climate change and the 'Matthew effect.'
Integrating the water-energy-food nexus and LCA + DEA methodology for sustainable fisheries management: A case study of Cantabrian fishing fleets
Researchers evaluated the environmental efficiency of fishing vessels in northern Spain's Cantabrian fleet by combining life cycle assessment — a method that tallies all environmental costs from fuel to catch — with a statistical efficiency model. They found that over one-third of vessels were operating below peak efficiency, and that improving those inefficient boats could cut their environmental impact, including carbon emissions, by up to 65%.
The Driving Effect of Marine Industry on Marine Pollution: An Empirical Study from China
Researchers empirically examined the relationship between major marine industries and marine pollution levels in China, using national seawater quality classification data from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. They found that marine industry activity has a measurable driving effect on marine environmental degradation, with different industries contributing distinct pollution impacts.
Green Efficiency Measurement of Seaweed Culture in China under the Double Carbon Target
This study measured the green efficiency of seaweed aquaculture in China in the context of carbon sequestration goals, finding variation across production regions. Sustainable seaweed cultivation can serve as an alternative to plastic-intensive conventional aquaculture, reducing ocean plastic inputs.
