TL;DR: 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 and has been increasingly used in energy-related environmental analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors modify the often used Divisia index decomposition method by replacing the arithmetic mean weight function by a logarithmic one, which can be shown to give perfect decomposition with no residual.
