Title: Structural Decomposition Analysis Applied to Energy and Emissions – Recent Developments and Future Trends

Report Abstract:
Decomposition analysis has been widely used to study the driving forces of changes of an aggregate indicator over time. Two popular decomposition techniques are the index decomposition analysis (IDA) and the structural decomposition analysis (SDA). They have been developed independently and applied extensively in energy and emissions. This presentation will summarize the latest methodological developments in SDA in recent years, show the empirical studies using the new SDA methods or framework, and discuss the future trends in SDA research applied to energy and emissions.
