The 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.

In a dynamic model with sunk export costs, a firm's export investment is lower under trade policy uncertainty, and credible preferential trade agreements (PTAs) increase trade even if current tariffs are low. Exploring Portugal's accession to the European Community as a policy uncertainty shock we find that the trade reform accounted for a large fraction of Portuguese exporting firms' entry and sales; the accession removed uncertainty about future EC trade policies; and this uncertainty channel accounted for a large fraction of the predicted growth. Our approach can be applied to other PTAs and sources of policy uncertainty. (JEL D22, F12, F14, F15, G31, L11)
