Structural decomposition analysis (SDA) is employed to examine physical flows other than energy and energy-related emissions. A unique set of hybrid-unit I/O tables, including both physical and monetary data, was constructed for this purpose. The decomposition results are used to perform...

This paper aims to trace the consequences of various global scenarios for the transportation system and the environment. After a review and the identification of four new world scenario's, the implications for sustainable transport are mapped out. The methodology is illustrated by means of a...
