Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions in India—A Structural Decomposition Analysis

This chapter describes the historical trend of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and analyzes the factors influencing this historical trend. Since every economy passes through various structural change processes over time, their implications must be assessed for future policy implementation. Therefore, in this chapter, we have described the methodology of input-output (IO) structure decomposition analysis to assess and determine the factors for historical GHG emissions trend in the Indian economy.
