The index is based on reports from the Economist Intelligence Unit dating back to 1996 and borrows from methodology used in the IMF’s own World Uncertainty Index. The WTU index counts the number of times uncertainty was mentioned within a word related to trade in Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) country reports. To calculate the new index,the IMF counts how often the word “uncertainty”appears in the EIU reports near terms such as protectionism,tariffs,and trade. The IMF has built a global trade uncertainly index encompassing 143 countries and reaching back more than two decades that shows uncertainty at all time high. The newly-minted index looks back to 1996 and shows trade uncertainty in the last year has jumped tenfold compared with previous highs. (Sept 10): The newly minted World Trade Uncertainty (WTU) index has detected a significant rise in global trade uncertainty after remaining at stable low levels for about 20 years. The WTU index, which was launched on Monday by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), measures uncertainty related to trade for 143 individual countries on a quarterly basis.

We develop a new method to measure economic policy uncertainty and test its dynamic relationship with output, investment, and employment. We find that, since 2008, economic policy uncertainty in the United States has been at a level approximately two times its long run average. We extend our approach to other countries, finding elevated levels of economic policy uncertainty abroad, as well.
