log function returning complex answers where there should be none

So I have a 22*9 matrix. with 22 regions and 9 years. I am doing a decomposition analysis where need to calculate different factors contribution to the overalla change in total carbon emissions, between each set of years, for each region.
For some reason however, my code returns complex answers (for both Ln(r,m) and DeltaCO2CI) when there should only be real numbers. Can't figure out what i have done wrong?
here's the problematic part of the code:
DeltaCO2CI=zeros(21,9);
for r=2:22
for m=2:9
Ln(r,m)=(co2r(r,m)-co2r(r,m-1))./(log(co2r(r,m)-co2r(r,m-1))));
DeltaCO2CI(r,m)=sum((Ln(r,m)).*log(CI(r,m)./CI(r,m-1))));
end
end

Have you broken it down on command line to work out which component is yielding the complex number? Put a breakpoint in and put each component onto the command line to pin down which is complex. Just looking at the code I have no idea, especially as I have no idea what is in the variables being referenced.

This operation returns one or more negative values:
co2r(r,m)-co2r(r,m-1)

Hi Sandra,
The complex values might be coming because value of co2r(r,m)-co2r(r,m-1) is negative. I would suggest you to put a break point and debug why these values are coming negative.
