About the Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) Index
The Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) Index tracks the level of policy-related economic uncertainty.
It is constructed by measuring the frequency of newspaper articles that discuss economic policy uncertainty.
Higher values of the EPU index indicate greater policy-related economic uncertainty.
