讲座摘要：We focus on the mathematical programming for analysis of sustainability and productivity with applications to energy and agriculture. The models of linear programming are mostly used in the analysis. The pinch analysis based on the ecological footprint approach is used to model the gains in sustainability of energy production due to changes in the energy-mix. The production activities can be modelled by applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In order to model environmental effects, the DEA models are extended by incorporating the undesirable outputs. We illustrate this by considering the case of China’s agriculture.
