Index decomposition methodology was a technique first used in the late 1970s to study the
impact of changes in product mix on industrial energy demand. A survey in 1995 listed a�…

Since the early 1980s, the decomposition technique has been widely used in industrial
energy analysis and for energy-policy evaluation. We describe eight different methods for�…

To analyze and understand historical changes in economic, environmental, employment or
other socio-economic indicators, it is useful to assess the driving forces or determinants that�…

Index decomposition analysis (IDA) has been a popular tool for studying changes in energy
consumption over time in major energy consuming sectors. In the basic form, it allows such�…

Index decomposition analysis (IDA) is a popular tool for analyzing changes in energy
consumption over time. Traditionally, a typical IDA study uses a single dimensional energy�…

Structural and index decomposition analyses allow identifying the main drivers of observed
changes over time of energy and environmental impacts. These decomposition analyses�…

We fill a gap in index decomposition analysis (IDA) methodology by extending the
conventional two-factor Fisher index decomposition approach to n factors to complement an�…

As global action on climate change gathers momentum, an area of interest is what the
world's greenhouse gas emission trajectory will be in the future and whether it can meet the�…

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

Index numbers have been used to decompose aggregate trends in energy intensity, ie, the
ratio of energy use to activity. By making a direct appeal to the theory underlying price index�…
