A dual-method approach integrating dynamic QCA and LightGBM-SHAP algorithms to uncover the configuration paths and key drivers of water resource green efficiency in China by Naiming He, Rijia Ding

“…This study presents three key innovations: (1) It applies the super-efficiency epsilon-based measurement and global Malmquist–Luenberger index (Super-EBM-GML) model from the perspective of high-quality economic development to analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics of WRGE across 30 Chinese provinces from 2014 to 2022. (2) It uses the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and dynamic qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) model to identify the key drivers of WRGE and regional variations. (3) It integrates machine learning (light gradient-boosting machine with Shapley additive explanations; LightGBM-SHAP) with QCA to quantify the impact of variables, combining qualitative and quantitative analysis. …”
