Abstract: An in-depth understanding and modeling of the multi-timescales structure of carbon market can help understand the carbon pricing mechanism and provide the decision-making support for market supervisions and investment decisions. This study aims at identifying the multi-timescales of carbon market by a novel integrated model of grey relational analysis and empirical mode decomposition (EMD). Firstly, grey relational analysis is used to examine whether carbon price has multi-timescales; Secondly, EMD is used to decompose carbon price into a number of simpler components; and thirdly, the A. Schuster random probability method is used to test the multi-timescales of each component. Finally, the empirical results show that European futures market has six different timescales of 5.42 months, 11.75 months, 23.5 months, 35.25 months, 70.5 months, and 141 months.
