NWO-Veni: Climetrics: Bringing together econometrics and climate sciences

In the presence of global climate change, there is an urgent need to understand developments of and relationships between climate data. Econometrics can help improve this understanding by providing data analysis tools. However, climate researchers trying to use these tools will face two challenges. First, not all tools will be directly applicable to climate data. Second, the tools need to be more widely accessible. This project aims to address these two challenges by developing a new method for the analysis of relationships that are subject to structural change and by making existing methods available through open-source and user-friendly software.
