Input-Output Structural Decomposition Analysis

Input-Output Structural Decomposition Analysis (IO-SDA) is an economic-environmental accounting method rooted in Wassily Leontief's input-output framework. It decomposes changes in economic activity and associated environmental impacts (emissions, resource use) over time into components reflecting technological change, demand shifts, and structural economic reorganization. Rose, Chen, and others formalized SDA in the 1980s–1990s for sustainability analysis.
