Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we have proposed a behavioral DEA model to evaluate Chinese provincial carrying states. To introduce the behavioral DEA model, we take the individual decision maker’s preference into account, including fairness concern, reference dependence and loss aversion. By considering those decision preferences, the proposed models can help to make fair planning with accounting for decision maker’s utilities. Our proposed model provides the detailed technique to demonstrate the fairness concern, reference dependence and loss aversion quantificationally. An empirical study in evaluating Chinese provincial carrying states is used to demonstrate our methods. We also provide comparative analysis and correlation analysis to discuss the results and point out the managerial implications of this study.
