Abstract

In response to climate change and environmental issues, many countries have gradually optimized carbon market management and improved the carbon market trading mechanism. Carbon price prediction plays a pivotal role in promoting carbon market management when investors are guided by prediction to conduct rational carbon trading. A novel carbon price prediction methodology is constructed based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition, improved bat algorithm, and extreme learning machine (EEMD-IBA-ELM) in this study. Firstly, the carbon price is decomposed into multiple regular intrinsic mode function (IMF) components by the ensemble empirical mode decomposition, and partial autocorrelation analysis (PACF) is used to find IMF historical data affecting the current value of IMF. Secondly, the improved bat algorithm (IBA) is used to heighten extreme learning machine (ELM) while adaptive parameters are obtained. Finally, EEMD-IBA-ELM was established to predict carbon price. Simultaneously, energy price fluctuation is introduced into the carbon price prediction model. As a consequence, EEMD-IBA-ELM carbon price prediction ability is further improved. In the empirical analysis, the historical carbon price of European Climate Exchange (ECX) and Korea Exchange (KRX) markets are used to examine the effectiveness and stability of the model. Errors of carbon price prediction in ECX and KRX is 2.1982% and 1.1762%, respectively. The results show that the EEMD-IBA-ELM carbon price prediction model can accurately predict carbon price when prediction effect shows strong stability. Furthermore, carbon price prediction accurateness was significantly enhanced by using energy price fluctuation as an influencing factor of carbon price prediction.
