A new energy decomposition method, called the Log-Mean Divisia Index Method I (LMDI I), is presented. It has the desirable properties of perfect decomposition and consistency in aggregation. Perfect decomposition ensures that the decomposition results obtained do not contain a residual term....

This paper introduces a new method to estimate and decompose sources of carbon dioxide emissions using the input–output model. This method uses what we call the ‘mean rate-of-change index’ for weights of the decomposed terms. In this journal, Ang et al. asserted that logarithmic mean...
