Prediction estimate the impact of future climate change on outcomes of interest This paper importance of model selection in this problem special features of the model selection problem faced by empirical researchers properties of cross-validation (CV) and information criteria (IC) as model selection tools for climate change impact studies - importance of guarding against over-fitting - mean squared error as a loss function Disclaimer: the paper will focus on linear fixed effects models only.

An Economic Reason Consider the following models: Annual Mean (A): Y it = 0.5 W it + a i + u it Quadratic in Annual Mean (QinA): Y it = 0.2 W it 0.02 W 2 it + a i + u it Quarterly Mean (Q): Y it = 0.5 W Q 1 it 0.75 W Q 2 it + a i + u it Different damages functions have different policy implications! Differences in responses across space and seasons - A: an additional degree in annual mean temperature will affect all areas in the same way. - QinA: an additional degree in annual mean temperature will be more/less harmful in warmer regions - Q: additional warming in the summer, but beneficial in the winter Different adaptation mechanisms E.g., suppose the outcome is agricultural yield, - QinA: agriculture will move to historically cooler areas as they get warmer - Q: growing season can be shifted within the year in regions with warming patterns in the winter Different predictions for future damages due to climate change

14 12 / 47 Model Selection Problem Set of Models Considered: {M j } J j=1 where J < For each j, M j where Y it =X j it βj + a j i + u j it - k j dim((x j it ) ) = dim(β j ) - W it {W itτ } H τ=1 - X j it = f j (W it ), where X j it is a 1 k j vector. Remarks All models considered are linear in the parameters and separable in a j i and u j it We assume that the true model M = M j for some j. The key difference between the models is the included regressors. Additional regressors and fixed effects can be readily accommodated. Special feature of this problem is that all models considered consist of different summary statistics of the same underlying high-frequency variables.
15 13 / 47 Model Selection Problem: Definitions For two models M 1 and M 2, assume wlog k 1 < k 2. nested: if M 1 is a restricted version of M 2. Example: annual and quarterly mean model overlapping: if restricted versions of M 1 and M 2 yield the same model. Example: quadratic in annual mean and quarterly mean model strictly non-nested: are neither nested nor overlapping
16 Overview of Model Selection Criteria Cross Validation MCCV (Monte Carlo Cross-Validation) - Create b random subsamples (training sets) of the original sample - For each subsample, estimate each model under consideration (training) - Use the complement of each subsample (test data) to predict each model out-of-sample - Calculate the mean squared error (MSE) across subsamples - Decision Rule: Choose model that minimizes the MSE of the MCCV procedure Source: 14 / 47
17 15 / 47 Overview of Model Selection Criteria Information Criteria For linear models GIC λn = n log(mse n) + λ nk j (2) - ˆɛ i = y i ŷ j i - MSE n = n i=1 ˆɛ2 i /n is the MSE of the original sample - λ n is the penalty term for the dimension of the model AIC: λ n = 2 BIC: λ n = log(n) - k j is the number of parameters in M j - Decision Rule: Choose model that minimizes the information criterion.
18 16 / 47 Overview of Model Selection Criteria: Consistent Model Selection Definition: P(choosing the true model) 1 as n MC Cross-validation (Shao 1993) - MCCV can deliver consistent model selection if training sample size (n c ) is proportionately smaller with larger samples and proportionately more to the testing sample. n c /n 0 - Formal results only available/possible for homoskedastic and serially uncorrelated errors. Information Criteria (Vuong 1989, Shao 1997, Sin and White 1996, Hong and Preston 2012) - AIC tends to overfit. - BIC is consistent, but not for non-nested model selection. - GIC λn with λ n = n log log(n) is consistent for all cases. - Formal results can accommodate heteroskedasticity and serial correlation.
19 16 / 47 Overview of Model Selection Criteria: Consistent Model Selection Definition: P(choosing the true model) 1 as n MC Cross-validation (Shao 1993) - MCCV can deliver consistent model selection if training sample size (n c ) is proportionately smaller with larger samples and proportionately more to the testing sample. n c /n 0 - Formal results only available/possible for homoskedastic and serially uncorrelated errors. Information Criteria (Vuong 1989, Shao 1997, Sin and White 1996, Hong and Preston 2012) - AIC tends to overfit. - BIC is consistent, but not for non-nested model selection. - GIC λn with λ n = n log log(n) is consistent for all cases. - Formal results can accommodate heteroskedasticity and serial correlation. In practice, we never know the true model, so what? if a model that nests the true model is considered, then a consistent procedure will choose that model. if no model nests the true model is considered, then a consistent procedure will choose the model with the smallest mean squared error asymptotically.
20 17 / 47 Simulation Study Preview When the true model is considered or the models considered nest it. - AIC and MCCV-p tend to overfit, with the former fairing worse in that regard than the latter. - BIC, MCCV-Shao, SW 1 and SW 2 choose the true model/the most parsimonious model that nests the true model. When the true model is not considered and the models considered do not nest it. - AIC, MCCV-p, BIC and MCCV-Shao tend to overfit. - SW 1 and SW 2 choose the most parsimonious model with the smallest MSE. However, in this case, minimizing MSE may be misleading in terms of what are important aspects of the damage function. What is interesting here is that the relationship between the considered models and the true model is what matters for consistency, not how models relate to each other as in classical model selection problems.

30 27 / 47 Simulation Study Summary of Recommendations Information criteria are consistent under the most general conditions. AIC (MCCV-p) will tend to overfit. BIC (MCCV-Shao) leads to consistent model selection, unless no model considered nests the true model. Important to consider the physical relationship to ensure that we are close to the true model. SW 1 /SW 2 leads to consistent model selection in general, however it may underfit in some settings.

39 36 / 47 Empirical Illustration: Summary For the mortality rate > 65, BIC/MCCV-Shao choose the quarterly mean model. The result is intuitive, since it shows warming in the winter reduces the mortality rate but warming in the summer increases it. For overall mortality rate and for all other age groups, all consistent model selection criteria (BIC, etc.) choose a model with no temperature variables/annual mean model (which is not significant). The results are qualitatively consistent with Deschênes and Greenstone (2011), even though we use a different sample size and specification.
40 37 / 47 Concluding Remarks Summary The model selection problem examined here is relevant whether we are interested in examining climate change impacts or adaptation to climate change. Practical recommendations - BIC behaves similarly to MCCV-Shao, and it is less computationally intensive. - BIC is inconsistent when at least one of the models under consideration nests the true model. (This is different from the typical model selection setting.) - SW 1 can guard against overfitting, but it can underfit in some cases. Further Questions/Caveats Prediction of impacts of future climate change - Is MSE the right criterion? Post-selection inference - Data splitting? Nonseparability in unobservables - e.g. random coefficient models Infinite-dimensional true model
