Do human activities indeed cause global warming? This paper attempts to answer this question by reexamining the time series properties of climate variables and the existence of long-run relationships between them. Double unit root testing shows that most of the radiative forcings of greenhouse...

Following Elliott (1999) and Perron and Rodríguez (2003), we develop unit root tests in the context of structural change models using GLS detrended data (Elliott, Rothenberg and Stock, 1996) when the initial observation is drawn from its unconditional distribution. We derive the limiting...

Following Elliott (1999; International Economic Review 40, 767--83.) and Perron and Rodríguez (2003; Journal of Econometrics 115,1--27), we develop unit root tests in the context of structural change models using GLS detrended data ( Elliott, Rothenberg and Stock 1996; Econometrica 64, 813--39) when the...

Using econometric tools for selecting I(1) and I(2) trends, we found the existence of static long-run steady-state and dynamic long-run steady-state relations between temperature and radiative forcing of solar irradiance and a set of three greenhouse gases series. Estimates of the adjustment...
