Abstract
The model considers inputs, outputs, and dual-role factors in each dimension of sustainability. A cross-efficiency data envelopment analysis approach is used to assess corporate sustainability of the power generation industry in China. Results confirmed model´s usefulness and showed that each dual-role factor can act as either input, output, or in equilibrium status.

Abstract
We study what happens to identified shocks and to dynamic responses when the structural model features q disturbances and m endogenous variables, q ≤ m, but only m1 < q variables are used in the empirical model. Aggregation create problems. Appropriate theoretical restrictions may be insufficient to obtain the structural disturbances and the dynamics they produce. Identified shocks do not necessarily combine structural disturbancees of the same type.
