摘要

Accurate forecasting of CO2 allowance prices remains difficult because carbon markets differ substantially in maturity, liquidity, and volatility across jurisdictions. This study compares five deep learning architectures, Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), under a strict one-step-ahead rolling-window design across seven carbon markets: the EU, China, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, California, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), USA. Using technical, financial, and macroeconomic indicators, this study evaluates model performance under common tuning and out-of-sample scoring rules across multiple machine learning models with various technical and macroeconomic indicators. The results show that forecasting performance is more market-dependent than architecture-dependent: tuned LSTM, GRU, and TCN models are consistently competitive, technical indicators contain most of the short-run predictive signal, and the 10-day window usually delivers slightly better accuracy than the 20-day window. These findings provide an empirical cross-market benchmark for climate-finance forecasting and suggest that short-run forecasting systems can support market trend monitoring and financial planning. Through comprehensive hyperparameter optimization and cross-market comparison, this research demonstrates the use of deep learning with hyperparameter tuning in the context of forecasting accuracy and interpretability.
