Accessing performance of transport sector considering risks of climate change and traffic accidents: joint bounded-adjusted measure and Luenberger decomposition

Green transformation of energy use in China’s transport sector will promote sustainable development the country. This paper extends Bounded-adjusted Measure and Luenberger indicators to detect performance inland across 2006–2015. In framework, climate change traffic accident risks are taken as undesirable outputs. addition, source-specific variable-specific decomposition proposed for investigating sources inefficiency productivity, quantifying contributions risks. opens up “black box” technological progress, identifying different channels (i.e., quantity time-dimensions) through which affect economic growth. Therefore, policymakers can find out most effective pathway boost productivity growth mitigate sector, ignored conventional framework. Empirical results indicate great variances exist among 30 provinces scores, change, progress. Hence, classified regulations help tackle this issue. We clustered into 4 groups according their progress along time-dimensions. Variable-wise, CO2 emission-reduction civil vehicle gains TFP most. Also, we verify that environmental coordinate sector.
