Economic policy uncertainty (EPU) index for China’s 31 provinces

  • Contributors:Jian Yu, Xunpeng Shi, Dongmei Guo, Longjian Yang
  • Abstract: Following the methodology of Baker et al. (2016), we constructed a set of EPU indexes at the provincial level in China. First, we selected the daily newspapers of 31 provinces in China as the source for news media reports. Second, we made the following provisions on the definition of the EPU index obtained through keyword searches: if there was at least one economic policy keyword and at least one keyword expressing uncertainty, the news article was considered a target article. Third, we calculated the annual total number of target articles for each of the 31 provinces, and divided it by the total number of target articles in the newspapers that contained the keyword “economy” in that year, to obtain the article proportion of the EPU in the 31 provinces. Fourth, we standardized the proportion of EPU articles in the 31 provinces by using the standard deviation of each province to obtain the EPU index for the 31 provinces.

  Mr. Jian Yu and his collaborators present a provincial EPU index to characterize the province-level EPU for China’s 31 provinces from 2000 to 2017. Please cite the following papers when using this data:
