Abstract

The paper aims at assessing the efficiency of different sectors in the UAE based on sustainability and circularity objectives. Sustainability objectives are based on the three pillars of sustainable development which are economic, social, and environmental development objectives. We considered the number of employees and energy consumption as the input variables and GDP, GHG emission, and waste generated in each sector as the output variables. We employed a data envelopment analysis (DEA) input-output model. The examined sectors are agriculture, crude oil, natural gas and mining, manufacturing and electricity, construction and real estate, trade, and transport, restaurant and hotels, banking and financial services, government, social and personal services.
