Measurement of Energy-Environment-Economic Performance for EU, APEC, and ASEAN Countries: Combination of a Fixed-Factor

The aim of this chapter is to apply an extended DEA model – emerging from a blend of a distance friction minimization (DFM) and a target-oriented (TO) with a fixed (inflexible) factor (FF) approach based on a super-efficiency (SE) model – for generating a

New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives This series is a constellation of works by scholars in the field of regional science and in related disciplines specifically focusing on dynamism in Asia. Asia is the most dynamic part of the world. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore experienced rapid and miracle economic growth in the 1970s. Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand followed in the 1980s. China, India, and Vietnam are now rising countries in Asia and are even leading the world economy. Due to their rapid economic development and growth, Asian countries continue to face a variety of urgent issues including regional and institutional unbalanced growth, environmental problems, poverty amidst prosperity, an ageing society, the collapse of the bubble economy, and deflation, among others. Asian countries are diversified as they have their own cultural, historical, and geographical as well as political conditions. Due to this fact, scholars specializing in regional science as an inter- and multidiscipline have taken leading roles in providing mitigating policy proposals based on robust interdisciplinary analysis of multifaceted regional issues and subjects in Asia. This series not only will present unique research results from Asia that are unfamiliar in othe
