Оценка эффективности стран ВЕКЦА на основе метода DEA-анализа

Abstract

The article studies the effectiveness of Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia in terms of linking welfare, energy consumption, sustainable development parameters. The factual basis includes the data of the International Energy Agency, United Nations Organization, and national statistical databases. For evaluation of the economic efficiency of the post-Soviet countries, a specific quartet of components “welfare-economic growth-energy consumption-environment” has been analyzed via DEA analysis. It has been proved that, despite the political and historical community, each country has its own strategy, showing the absence of a close correlation between the efficiency components of the countries in the region examined. A typology of sub-regions of Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia has been developed.
