I develop a unified framework that decomposes within-firm changes in CEI into three components: shifts in (i) the product portfolio, (ii) factor-neutral physical productivity (TFPQ), and (iii) CO2-abatement technology, defined as factor-augmenting productivity that reduces emissions relative to other inputs. The...
