چکیده

نوآوری سازگار با محیط زیست به معنای توسعه‌ی محصولات و فرایندهایی است که به توسعه‌ی پایدار کمک کرده و از تجربیات علمی به‌طور مستقیم و غیرمستقیم برای بهبود محیط زیست استفاده می‌کند. نوآوری سازگار با محیط زیست نقش مهمی در مصرف منابع و آلودگی زیست‌محیطی دارد و یکی از مهم‌ترین عوامل در تعیین موفقیت یا شکست برنامه‌های مصرف انرژی و محافظت محیط زیست به شمار می‌رود. بنابراین، نوآوری سازگار با محیط زیست سنگ بنای توسعه‌ی پایدار است. صنعت حمل‌ونقل یکی از منابع عمده‌ی آلودگی محیط زیست است. تحلیل کارایی این صنعت به مردم و جوامع کمک می‌کند که نسبت به عملکرد آن آگاهی بیشتری پیدا کرده و راهبردهای مدیریتی بهتری ایجاد کنند. ضرورت توسعه‌ی پایدار در صنعت حمل‌ونقل نیازمند تحلیل کارایی در طول زمان است. یک رویکرد متداول برای ارزیابی عملکرد طی دوره‌های متوالی، شاخص بهره‌وری مالمکوئیست است. در این مقاله، با استفاده از رویکرد تحلیل مرز دوگانه، یک تحلیل نوین برای اندازه‌گیری کارایی ارائه می‌شود. در رویکرد پیشنهادی، به دست آوردن مجموعه‌ی وزن‌های مشترک برای شاخص بهره‌وری مالمکوئیست، با در نظر گرفتن ورودی‌های غیرقابل‌کنترل و خروجی‌های نامطلوب در تحلیل کارایی صورت می‌پذیرد. این مقاله با بررسی حمل‌ونقل باری در ایران، کاربرد مدل‌های پیشنهادی را نشان می‌دهد. مدل‌های پیشنهادی برای تحلیل شاخص بهره‌وری مالمکوئیست جهت تجزیه‌ی کارایی کلی به تغییر کارایی و تغییر فنی، به تصمیم گیرندگان امکان می‌دهد که نوآوری سازگار با محیط زیست و کارایی زیست‌محیطی را در این صنعت به دقت ردیابی کنند.

چکیده [English]

Eco-innovation refers to the development of products and processes in the service of sustainable development, which uses scientific experiences, both directly and indirectly, to improve the environment. Eco-innovation is crucially important in the consumption of resources and pollution of the environment. Furthermore, it is one of the most fundamental factors in determining the success or failure of energy-consumption plans and protecting the environment. Thus, Eco-innovation is the cornerstone of sustainable development. The transportation industry is one of the main sources of environmental pollution. Analyzing efficiency of this industry helps people and societies to have a better understanding of its performance and develop better management strategies. The necessity of sustainable development in the transportation industry requires efficiency analysis over time. The Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) is one of the common approaches to assess performance over the course of consecutive periods. This paper used a double-frontier analysis approach to propose a modern analysis to measure efficiency. In the proposed approach, the common set of weights for MPI is yielded by taking into account the undesirable outputs in the efficiency analysis. This paper demonstrated the application of the proposed models by investigating freight transport in Iran. The proposed models for the MPI analysis to decompose overall efficiency into efficiency change and technical change enable the decision-makers to meticulously trace the Eco-innovation and environmental efficiency in this industry.
