Economic policy uncertainty and firm-level investment
This paper examines the effect of economic policy uncertainty and its components on firm-level investment. It is found that economic policy uncertainty in interaction with firm-level uncertainty depresses firms’ investment decisions. When firms are in doubt about costs of doing business due to possible changes in regulation, cost of health care and taxes, they become more guarded with investmen...
متن کاملEconomic Policy Uncertainty & Asset Price Volatility∗
We document that fear about misspecified economic and central bank policies explain 45% of variations in bond option implied volatilities and interest rate volatilities. We endogenize this empirical pattern with a parsimonious equilibrium asset pricing model. In equilibrium, volatility is endogenously driven by fear of not knowing the data generating process that drives future economic and futu...
متن کاملMonetary Policy Uncertainty and Economic Fluctuations
We investigate the relationship between uncertainty about monetary policy and its transmission mechanism, and economic fluctuations. We propose a new term structure model where the second moments of macroeconomic variables and yields can have a first-order effect on their dynamics. The data favors a model with two unspanned volatility factors that capture uncertainty about monetary policy and t...
متن کاملCube Index: A Text Index Model for Retrieval and Mining
Text retrieval, Analysis, Mining and Knowledge management have gained a lot of importance in a time when we drown in information but are starved for knowledge. In this paper, we propose a novel Index that uses a Text Cube model to store the text information similar to a data cube in Data Mining. This model creates a direct index, next word index and inverted index in a single Cube Index which i...
متن کاملIdentifying the Uncertainty in Physician Practice Location through Spatial Analytics and Text Mining
In response to the widespread concern about the adequacy, distribution, and disparity of access to a health care workforce, the correct identification of physicians' practice locations is critical to access public health services. In prior literature, little effort has been made to detect and resolve the uncertainty about whether the address provided by a physician in the survey is a practice a...
