TwitterThe Global Economic Policy Uncertainty (GEPU) index was at its highest in May 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic brought global economic uncertainty. The index was also **** after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Moreover, the index rose sharply in November 2024 after Donald Trump was re-elected as President of the United States. Trump promised to impose trade tariffs against a range of countries, and did so against Canada, Mexico, and China in February 2024. The GEPU index is constructed by measuring how often the leading newspapers mention economic policy uncertainty in their articles.

The paper proposes a method of constructing text-based country-specific measures for economic policy uncertainty. To avoid problems of translation and human validation costs, we apply natural language processing and sentiment analysis to construct such measures for Russia. We compare our measure with that developed earlier using direct translations from English and human validation. In this comparison, our measure does equally well at evaluating the uncertainty related to key events that affected Russia between 1994 and 2018 and performs better at detecting the effects of uncertainty in Russia’s industrial production. Data used to construct uncertainty indexes We have constructed the EPU using data from four daily newspapers available electronically, which are : 1. Kommersant (Oct 1992 – Feb 2018), 579 997 articles 2. Moskovskiy Komsomolets (Jan 2005 – Feb 2018), 143 758 articles 3. Novaya Gazeta (Feb 2004 – Feb 2018), 63 884 articles 4. Vedomosti (Dec 2003 – Feb 2018), 342 309 articles These newspapers represent a good spectrum of the newspapers aimed at different categories of readers. Kommersant is a daily of broad circulation that is primarily but loosely associated with information and news on business and commerce for a wide group of readers. According to https://www.kommersant.ru/about/kommersant, 23 January 2020, its daily circulation is around 100,000 — 110,000 copies. Moskovskiy Komsomolets is a popular newspaper addressed at a general audience with a print circulation of around 700,000 copies, according to https://ria.ru/20091211/198562973.html. Vedomosti is a business daily aimed at students and professionals, with quite limited circulation. According to the Russian Wikipedia page https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/ведомости, its daily circulation is 75,000 copies. Novaya Gazeta is regarded as relatively independent and sometimes critical towards the Russian government. It is not a proper daily, as it has been published in 2019 three times a week. Its reported circulation in August 2009 was 104,700 (https://web.archive.org/web/20090822153334/http://www.pressaudit.ru/registry ). There are four csv files, one for each newspaper, named *-sent2.csv with the following data: - date - article's number of words in economy category - number of words in policy category - number of words in uncertainty category - document id - number of the LDA topic (15 latent topics) - name of the LDA topic (15 latent topics) - number of the LDA topic (30 topics, 20 for Kommersant) - name of the LDA topic (30 topics, 20 for Kommersant) - *20/50 - article's number of words in word2vec dictionary in categories uncertainty, policy and economy, 20 or 50 words with smallest cosine distance - pos/neg/sent - percentage of words with positive/negative inclination and sent=pos-neg. - 1 for standard sentiment lexicons, 2 for Covid-augmented lexicons Uncertainty indexes and macroeconomic data Data description File U_data: data for different uncertainty indices Symbols are as in the Appendix in the paper: Pairs of uncertainty indices symbols of columns U computed for all newspapers U U computed for Kommersant only U(Kom.) U under homogeneity of journalistic style U(Hom.) U under heterogeneity of journalistic style U(Het.) U computed with the use of Loukash. lexicons U(Louk.) U computed with the use of Kaggle lexicons U(Kag.) U weighed by negative sentiments only U- Other files with micro data are stored in files named by the following convention: RU_s_LDA_VINTAGE_LEXICON where integers s, LDA,VIVTAGE and LEXICON describes the different ways of computing sentimentso, topic modelling, vintage of data and sentiment lexicons applied. The files contain monthly data, mainly the frequencies of the appearance of the articles selected by different methods and weighted by different sentiment indicators. In detail: Excel_data_recomp_s, where s=0,..,6, and: s=0: indices are weighted by crude sentiment frequencies. s=1: indices are weighted by 1+- crude sentiment frequencies. s= 2: as for s=1, but the sentiments are rescaled. s=3 as for s=1, but sentiments are values of exponential distribution . s=4 Valance is used as measures of sentiments; see Ferrara E, Yang Z (2015) ‘Measuring Emotional Contagion in Social Media’. PLoS ONE 10 e0142390. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0142390. Valance is computed from the sentiment ratios, that is, as if s=0. It is, of course, possible to combine valence with switch_sent 1, 2 and 3 . if s=5 and s=6, weights are classified, according to the SentiStrength methodology, where the classes are set according to the quantiles of the frequency of sentiments. There are 4 quantile points used for dividing the sentiments into classes: 0.15; 0.5; 0.75;0.9 . s=5 classes are set according to the quantiles computed for all journals (assumption of the homogeneity of readers' perception). s=6 quantiles are computed separately for each journal and lexicon (assumption of heterogeneity of readers' perception).

ABSTRACT Objective: this article aims to help unravel if and how economic uncertainty interacts with the informational structure of sentiment. Methods: the empirical strategy is based on a non-linear and non-parametric causality test to investigate the interaction between variables as distributions. This article builds primarily on the literature on expectation formation. Results: it was found that uncertainty based on the media (ex-ante) precedes sentiment, at most, until the second moment of its distribution. In addition, sentiment helps predict the informational structure of fundamental uncertainty (ex-post) and higher order moments of ex-ante uncertainty. Conclusion: sentiment can be considered a channel for uncertainty through the tone of expectations and erroneous expectations. Ex-ante uncertainty measures can also help calibrate the rational cost-benefit calculation of attention by acting as a leading indicator of the increasing value of information.

Supplementary information files for the article Emerging stock market volatility and economic fundamentals: the importance of US uncertainty spillovers, financial and health crises
Abstract: This paper studies the US and global economic fundamentals that exacerbate emerging stock markets volatility and can be considered as systemic risk factors increasing financial stability vulnerabilities. We apply the bivariate HEAVY system of daily and intra-daily volatility equations enriched with powers, leverage, and macro-effects that improve its forecasting accuracy significantly. Our macro-augmented asymmetric power HEAVY model estimates the inflammatory effect of US uncertainty and infectious disease news impact on equities alongside global credit and commodity factors on emerging stock index realized volatility. Our study further demonstrates the power of the economic uncertainty channel, showing that higher US policy uncertainty levels increase the leverage effects and the impact from the common macro-financial proxies on emerging markets’ financial volatility. Lastly, we provide evidence on the crucial role of both financial and health crisis events (the 2008 global financial turmoil and the recent Covid-19 pandemic) in raising markets’ turbulence and amplifying the volatility macro-drivers impact, as well.
