ABSTRACT
Our study analyzes the emission allowances of 24 European Union (EU) members from a sample taken
from 2005-07. A Super Slacks-Based Measure Zero Sum Gains Data Envelopment Analysis (Super SBMZSG-
DEA) model was employed to examine allocation equality. The empirical results indicated that the countries
with higher efficiency would have to increase their emission allowances. The majority of investigated
countries with lower rankings in the initial allowances were likely to be less developed countries. Accordingly,
these less developed countries would have to decrease their emission allowances in order to be more realistic
and compliant regarding allowance allocations.
