In this paper we investigate transmission and spillovers of local and foreign economic policy uncertainty shocks to unemployment in two largest economic regions in the world - the United States (US) and the Euro area (EA). For this purpose we deploy Bayesian Markov-switching structural vector...

paper provides a data-disciplined theory of belief formation that explains large fluctuations in uncertainty. It argues that … distribution. Our main contribution is to explain why real-time estimation of distributions with non-normal tails are prone to … large uncertainty fluctuations. We use theory and data to show how small changes in estimated skewness whip around …

Can information on macroeconomic uncertainty improve the forecast accuracy for key macroeconomic time series for the US? Since previous studies have demonstrated that the link between the real economy and uncertainty is subject to nonlinearities, I assess the predictive power of macroeconomic...
