We employ a network DEA approach that links successive production technologies through intertemporal investment decisions with a period by period estimation. This allows us to estimate energy efficiency and environmental performance separately, as well as productivity change and its associated decompositions into efficiency change and technology change. Incorporating a network model also allows us to account for both short-term environmental management practices and long-term environmental investments in each of our productivity measures. We apply this framework to a panel of detailed plant-level production data for Swedish manufacturing firms covering the years 2002-2008.

We measure the Hicksian compensating variation of the price distortion caused by such mandates and compare those losses to those calculated using a Harberger-type second-order approximation method.

We apply a multi-input, multioutput profit maximization model to detailed farm-level production data from the Oregon Willamette Valley to predict each producer's response to a targeted fertilizer tax policy. Their resulting production decisions are included in a biophysical model of basin-level soil and water quality. We use a hybrid genetic algorithm to integrate the economic and biophysical models into one multiobjective optimization problem, the joint maximization of farm profits and minimization of Nitrate runoff resulting from fertilizer usage. We then measure the tradeoffs between maximum profit and Nitrogen loading for individual farms, subject to the fertilizer tax policy. We find considerable
