Change points and temporal dependence in reconstructions of annual temperature : did Europe experience a little Ice Age?

Kelly, Morgan ; Ó Gráda, Cormac (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2012-03)

We analyze the timing and extent of northern European temperature falls during the Little Ice Age, using standard temperature reconstructions. However, we can find little evidence of long swings or structural breaks in ...
