I use Bayesian VARs to forecast global temperatures anomalies until the end of the XXI century by exploiting their … cointegration with the Joint Radiative Forcing (JRF) of the drivers of climate change. Under a ‘no change’ scenario, the most … favorable median forecast predicts the land temperature anomaly to reach 5.6 Celsius degrees in 2100. Forecasts conditional on …

We extend the analysis of Christoffersen and Diebold (1998) on long-run forecasting in cointegrated systems to … multicointegrated systems. For the forecast evaluation we consider several loss functions, each of which has a particular interpretation … square forecast error (MSFE) criterion focuses on the forecast errors of the flow variables alone. Likewise, a loss function …
