Inthisregard,this researchaimstoanswertworesearchquestions.Firstly, tobeefficient intheimplementationofCEatamacroeconomic level, shouldtherebearelationshipbetween theefficiencyof the threephasesofCE (efficiency inrecycling, efficiency inthe implementationofCEandefficiencyofeco-innovation)?Toanswerthisquestion,we usedecouplingtheory.Secondly,arethethreephasesofCErelatedfromthepoint ofviewofdynamicefficiency?Toanswer thisquestion,weusedynamicefficiency theory. In accordancewith both of these theories, we establish a circular relationship betweenrecycling,CEandeco-innovation.Wetestthiscircularrelationshipthrough theapplicationof thedynamicnetworkdataenvelopmentanalysis (DNDEA)model ofToneandTsutsui.TheanalysisisbasedonEurostatdatafortheperiodof2016to 2022for27Europeancountries.
