| Abstract | The challenge that all developed countries are facing is how to grow their economies in a sustainable way. To do this, energy efficiency is proposed as one of the keys solutions. In Europe, energy efficiency is one of the key elements; therefore; Europe the world's largest energy importer worldwide. Considering the core role of energy efficiency to Europe, the main objectives of this study are to measure energy efficiency and examine energy improvement of European countries during 2010-2017 by applying Data envelopment analysis (DEA) Slack-based measure model (SBM) and Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI). Findings of this study indicated France, Hungary, Greece, Italy, Netherland, Poland, Portugal, Switzerland and United Kingdom are efficient in terms of energy. Regarding energy improvement, only one country showed the improvement during observed period 2013-2017. This study provides important information of the current status of energy efficiency and improvement of European countries, which can help policymakers and strategy makers in deciding different energy strategies and policies. |
