Econometric methods and applications in modelling non-stationary climate data

Thesis

Understanding of climate change and policy responses thereto rely on accurate measurements as well as models of both socio-economic and physical processes. However, data to assess impacts and establish historical climate records are non-stationary: distributions shift over time due to shocks, measurement changes, and stochastic trends - all of which invalidate standard statistical inference. This thesis establishes econometric methods to model non-stationary climate data consistent with kn...
