The solution of the problem of multicriteria alternative choice in the conditions of fuzzy expert assessments of compliance with alternatives to the requirements of criteria is described. We consider the situation when the rating of the alternatives can comprise several experts that form an individual system of criteria for evaluation of alternatives using numerical or linguistic form submissions.

Understanding the nexus CO2 emissions and economic growth helps economies in formulating energy policies and developing energy resources in sustainable ways. Although during recent years, numerous of the previous studies have been very thoroughly investigated the nexus between economic growth and CO2 emissions, there is a lack of research regarding the qualitative systematic review and meta-analysis in these areas.

The benefits of agricultural exports’ impact to developing economies have been confirmed by most of researchers. When analyzing the Baltic States, attention should be paid firstly to the peculiarities of agriculture and to relatively low subsidies of the EU funds in comparison with the old EU countries.

The teahouse market has seen an expansion across various countries. In order to identify the most reasonable paths for development, the choice of location for the outlets needs to account for a number of conflicting criteria.

This paper presents a modified environmental production technology which imposes the proper disposability on the undesirable outputs depending on the underlying technical properties. Then, aggregate and disaggregate (Russell-type) data envelopment analysis (DEA) models are proposed to evaluate the energy-economy-environment (3E) efficiency based on the modified technology (hereafter referred to as the 3E-DEA models).

Measurement of environmental and energy economics presents an analytical foundation for environmental decision making and policy analysis. Applications of data envelopment analysis (DEA) models in the assessment of environmental and energy economics are increasing notably.
