“…Most existing studies concentrate on the decomposition of national CO 2 emissions and emission intensities or emissions and emission intensities of the industrial and power sectors. Examples of national CO 2 emissions (or emission intensities) decomposition studies include Wu et al [10] and Wang et al [8] for China, Kawase et al [11] for Japan, Rhee and Chung [12] for Japan and South Korea, Lise [13] for Turkey, Diakoulaki et al [4] for Greece, Saikku et al [14] for 27 European Union (EU) member states, Lee and Oh [15] for APEC countries, Luukkanen and Kaivo-oja [16] for ASEAN countries, Luukkanen and Kaivo-oja [17] for Scandinavian countries, Ebohon and Ikeme [5] for sub-Saharan African countries and Han and Chatterjee [18] for nine developing countries (Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Korea, Mexico, Philippines, Thailand and Zambia). At the sectoral level, more studies are focused on the industrial sector than any other sector (see e.g.…”

SUMMARYThis study determines the factors responsible for the growth of transport sector CO 2 emissions in 20 Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries during the 1980-2005 period by decomposing the emissions growth into components associated with changes in fuel mix (FM), modal shift and economic growth, as well as changes in emission coefficients (EC) and transportation energy intensity (EI). The key finding of the study is that economic growth and the changes in transportation EI are the principal factors driving transport sector CO 2 emission growth in the countries considered. While economic growth is responsible for the increasing trend of transport sector CO 2 emissions in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Peru and Uruguay, the transportation EI effect is driving CO 2 emissions in Bolivia, the Caribbean, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Other Latin America, Panama and Paraguay. Both economic activity (EA) and EI effects are found responsible for transport sector CO 2 emissions growth in the rest of the Latin American countries. In order to limit CO 2 emissions from the transportation sector in LAC countries, decoupling of the growth of CO 2 emissions from economic growth is necessary; this can be done through policy instruments to promote fuel switching, modal shifting and reductions in transport sector EI.

“…Emissions intensities are calculated using the IPPC reference approach. This disaggregation method has been recently applied to the Taiwanese electricity sector and is also followed in Cruz (2002Cruz ( , 2004 as well as Limmeechokchai and Suksuntornsiri (2007). For China a hybrid unit-approach has been undertaken by Lindner et al (2011) to analyse differences in emissions intensities of sectors.…”

“…In their respective studies, Limmeechokchai and Suksuntornsiri (2007), Allan et al (2005) and Shrestha and Marpaung (2006) also disregarded the potential impact of the transmission and distribution sector. On the other hand, Cruz (2002) and Allan et al (2007) conducted studies in which the disaggregation of the electricity sector was made so that all the output of the power generation sectors was first sold to the transmission and distribution sector, and then all the other sectors purchased electricity from this sector.…”

Disaggregating a sector within the Leontief input-output (IO) framework is not a straightforward task since there is more than one possibility for the unknown technical coefficients of the disaggregated IO table, and more information than what is embodied in the aggregated IO table is thus required. This paper presents a methodology for disaggregating sectors into an arbitrary number of new sectors when the only available information about the newly formed sectors is their output weights. A random walk algorithm is used to explore the polytope containing the admissible combinations for the unknown technical coefficients of the disaggregated IO table. These combinations are then used to construct the probability distribution of the coefficients of the inverse Leontief matrix. The methodology is illustrated by disaggregating the electricity production sector of China's 2007 IO table and by looking at the probability distribution of the CO 2 emission intensity factors of the sectors of the economy.
