The economic efficiency of aid targeting. [PDF]
World Dev, 2022 How efficient is the targeting of foreign aid to populations in need? A long literature has focused on the impacts of foreign aid, but much rarer are studies that examine how such aid is allocated within countries. We examine the extent to which donors efficiently respond to exogenous budget shocks by shifting resources toward needier districts within ...

Information and economic efficiency [PDF]
Information Economics and Policy, 1993 Is an economy with adverse selection, moral hazard, or an incomplete set of risk markets "constrained" Pareto efficient? There are two sets of papers addressing this question, one asserting that, under seemingly quite general conditions, the economy is constrained Pareto efficient, the other (to which we have contributed), that it is not. In this paper,

Economic Cross-Efficiency [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019 This paper introduces a series of new concepts under the name of Economic Cross-Efficiency, which is rendered operational through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) techniques. To achieve this goal, from a theoretical perspective, we connect two key topics in the efficiency literature that have been unrelated until now: economic efficiency and cross ...

Vertical Greenery as Natural Tool for Improving Energy Efficiency of Buildings
Horticulturae, 2022 The European Construction Sector Observatory outlined that green building envelopes as green roofs and walls contribute to the reduction of energy demand and CO2 emissions due to the air conditioning in summer periods, and the mitigation of heat islands ...
