Evaluating Territorial Space Use Efficiency: A Geographic Data Envelopment Model Considering Geospatial Effects by Minrui Zheng, Yin Ma, Xinqi Zheng, Xvlu Wang, Li Li, Feng Xu, Xiaoyuan Zhang, Fuping Gan, Jianchao Wang, Zhengkun Zhu

“…This is mainly explained by the fact that the GeoDEA model takes into account the geospatial effect and selects DMUs with relatively close geographic distance and higher levels of development as the reference frontier for efficiency evaluation. The GeoDEA model optimizes the traditional DEA model and avoids the problem that the efficiency of DMU is underestimated when the geographical background and development mode of DMU are very different from the reference frontier. …”
