The aim of this research was to examine the structural changes of European carbon futures price under the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme during 2005-2012. More specifically, by relying on the daily EU allowance futures contract, we investigate the structural changes of the European...

Mastering the underlying characteristics of carbon price changes can help governments formulate correct policies to keep efficient operation of carbon markets, and investors take effective measures to evade their investment risks. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD), a self-adaption data analysis...

In general, due to inherently high complexity, carbon prices simultaneously contain linear and nonlinear patterns. Although the traditional autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model has been one of the most popular linear models in time series forecasting, the ARIMA model cannot...

The aim of this research is to examine the structural changes of European carbon futures price under the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) during 2005-2012. More speci fically, by relying on the daily EU allowance (EUA) futures contract, we investigate the structural changes of...

This article investigates the European carbon futures price dynamics by applying the Zipf analysis. The results show that: first, carbon price behaviour is asymmetric, and the long-term bearish probability is greater than the long-term bullish probability. Second, time-scales of investment and...

To find the key impact factors of CO2 emissions to realize the carbon intensity target, this paper examined the impact factors of population, economic level, technology level, urbanization level, industrialization level, service level, energy consumption structure and foreign trade degree on the...
