| Abstract: | The methodology in this article builds further on two proven methodologies for the assessment of sustainability performance: it combines the sustainable value approach with frontier efficiency benchmarks. It is presented using two different functional forms: the Cobb–Douglas and the translog functional forms. In this research, the sustainable value approach is combined with efficiency analysis methods to benchmark sustainability assessment. In this way, the production theoretical underpinnings of efficiency analysis enrich the sustainable value approach. It is argued that the methodology can be used as an integrative sustainability assessment tool for policy measures. |
