In order to have an effective agreement on greenhouse warming, it will be necessary to have credible and comparable estimates of greenhouse gas emissions and economic impacts of their mitigation for as many nations as possible. An operational methodology is needed that can be standardized across country contexts and that can capitalize on existing economic data bases. One such methodology is structural decomposition analysis (SDA). The purpose of this project is to develop a stronger theoretical base for the SDA methodology using the tools of applied microeconomics, more specifically production theory, applied demand analysis, and growth theory. While SDA estimating equations in the past have been specified in an ad hoc manner, this research will involve developing a formal derivation of these equations. This research is important because it will provide researchers and policy makers with a firmly grounded alternative to the more conventional macroeconometric and computable general equilibrium approaches which, because of data limitations, are difficult to use in making cross country comparisons.

为了就温室气体变暖问题达成有效的协议，有必要对尽可能多的国家的温室气体排放及其缓解措施的经济影响进行可靠且可比的估计。 需要一种可以在不同国家背景下标准化并可以利用现有经济数据库的操作方法。 其中一种方法是结构分解分析（SDA）。 该项目的目的是利用应用微观经济学工具，更具体地说是生产理论、应用需求分析和增长理论，为 SDA 方法论奠定更坚实的理论基础。 虽然过去 SDA 估计方程是以临时方式指定的，但本研究将涉及开发这些方程的正式推导。 这项研究很重要，因为它将为研究人员和政策制定者提供一个坚实的替代方案，以替代更传统的宏观计量经济学和可计算的一般均衡方法，而由于数据限制，这些方法很难用于进行跨国比较。
