The Uncertainty Principle The uncertainty principle (for Fourier transform pairs) follows immediately from the scaling theorem. Recent developments have inspired efforts to measure trade uncertainty. It is also a onsumers, managers, and policymakers about possible futures. Uncertainty spikes tend to be more synchronized within advanced economies and between economies with tighter trade and financial linkages. This is defined using the frequency of the word “uncertainty” in the quarterly Economist Intelligent Unit country reports. The level of uncertainty is significantly higher in developing countries and is positively associated with economic policy uncertainty and stock market volatility, and negatively with GDP growth. The WUI is then normalized by total number of words and rescaled by multiplying by 1,000.

The online portal for the growing number of uncertainty indices that Bloom and other colleagues have constructed since the debut of the Economic Policy Uncertainty Index. We find that, since 2008, economic policy uncertainty in the United States has been at a level approximately two times its long run average. It also includes the World Trade Uncertainty Index (WTUI) at the global and country level. B and Davide FurceriF. This effect varies across countries and across sectors within the same country: across countries, the effect is larger and more persistent in those with lower institutional quality; across sectors, the effect is stronger in those more financially-constrained. He also works on understanding differences in management and organizational practices across firms and countries. The IMF s new World Uncertainty Index (WUI) captures uncertainty related to economic and political events in the near-term and long-term, and looks back 60 years. The daily version of this index reflects the frequency of newspaper articles with one or more terms about “economics,” “policy” and “uncertainty” in roughly 2,000 U.S. newspapers. His research focuses on management practices and uncertainty. Abstract: We develop a new index of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) based on a range of indicators, including the frequency of newspaper references to policy uncertainty.
