The only comprehensive study comparing structural decomposition analysis (SDA) and
index decomposition analysis (IDA) was conducted around 2000. There have since been …

Understanding the drivers of past and present energy consumption trends is important for a
range of stakeholders, including governments, businesses and international development …

The aim of this study is to quantify the driving forces behind the growth of carbon dioxide
emissions embodied in trade (EET). The World Input–output Database is used to estimate …

Energy-saving target ratios (ESTR) for 17 APEC economies during 1991–2000 are
computed in a total-factor framework. All nominal variables are transformed into real …

Several industrialized countries have signed the Kyoto Protocol, promising to reduce
greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions. To reduce or mitigate such emissions several policies …

Structural decomposition analysis (SDA) has been widely used by researchers to study
changes in carbon emissions or aggregate emission intensity over time in a country. These …

A complex system of production links our greenhouse gas emissions to our consumer
demands. Whilst progress may be made in improving efficiency, other changes in the …

We combine Structural Decomposition Analysis (SDA) and Structural Path Analysis (SPA) in
order to examine the temporal changes within a full production chain perspective. To our …

It is commonly acknowledged that China and USA are the two largest carbon emitters in the
world, but the differences in the emissions between the two countries is significant. This …

This study develops and examines physical energy intensity indicators in five industrial sub-
sectors—iron and steel, aluminum, textiles, paper, and cement—and investigates mitigation …
