Abstract
After classical decomposition techniques, including those based on Laspeyres, Paasche and Marshall-Edgeworth weighting schemes, new models have been developed.

- 1.
For instance, Albrecht et al. (2002) introduced a technique based on the Kaya identity that leads to exhaustive, symmetric decompositions.
- 2.
Within input–output analysis, Dietzenbacher and Los (1998) have proposed a similar solution for structural decomposition analysis.
- 3.
A detailed description of the model and its estimation appears in Fernández Vázquez and Fernández González (2008).
- 4.
This kind of decomposition provides a significant refinement over conventional (parametric) Divisia methods.
- 5.
Matlab codes for the splines method as applied in this chapter are included in the m-file ‘Chapter4splines.m’ in the accompanying extra contents.
- 6.
Countries included in the study are: Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
- 7.
In the PB approach it suffices to have triennial information for some of the factors (partial additional information).
