Incerteza no mundo

Hites Ahir, Nicholas Bloom e Davide Furceri construíram um índice mundial de incerteza, tendo por base o relatório Economist Intelligence Unit. Anteriormente Baker, Bloom e outros autores usaram jornal de diversos países.

 We construct the World Uncertainty Index (WUI) for an unbalanced panel of 143 individual countries on a quarterly basis from 1952. This is the frequency of the word “uncertainty” in the quarterly Economist Intelligence Unit country reports. Globally, the Index spikes around major events like the Gulf War, the Euro debt crisis, the Brexit vote and the COVID pandemic. The level of uncertainty is higher in developing countries but is more synchronized across advanced economies with their tighter trade and financial linkages. In a panel vector autoregressive setting we find that innovations in the WUI foreshadow significant declines in output. This effect is larger and more persistent in countries with lower institutional quality, and in sectors with greater financial constraints.

Eis o gráfico do Brasil:

As eleições de 2018 trouxeram uma grande incerteza - a maior da série. Os dados foram calculados trimestralmente. Aparentemente os processos eleitorais nos últimos anos são fontes de elevada incerteza.
