We found particularly wide variation in the availability of ventilators, and indeed other hospital resources, in Thailand, where our results suggest that inequitable distribution of health system resources [32] , rather than simply an overall nationwide shortage, could lead to a high number of avoidable deaths from pandemic influenza.

summary:
  In contrast to the traditional EI, which considers only the direct ratio of energy input to GDP for assessing energy efficiency without embracing capital and labor factors, we measure TFEE and EATFEE by incorporating the industrial characteristics and extending the four-stage DEA proposed by Fried et al. Saving energy has thus become an extremely important issue in Taiwan, with existing research studies addressing energy efficiency or productivity on the region level or country level (for example Bian and Yang (2010) , Greening et al.
