A new research framework, EPA-CarbonNet, has been proposed for predicting carbon credit prices in emerging markets. This framework aims to integrate market time series data with policy text using a six-layer architecture and cross-attention mechanisms. Despite its novel approach, initial testing on S and P carbon index data yielded largely negative results, with a random walk outperforming the model on a key metric and SHAP rankings showing low agreement. While directional accuracy was promising at 58.6 percent, the model's ability to explain price movements and align policy attention with regulatory events was found to be lacking. AI
IMPACT This research highlights the challenges in applying AI to complex financial markets influenced by policy, suggesting current methods may not adequately capture these dynamics.
