EPU INDEX for SPAIN

We construct an index of economic policy uncertainty based on newspaper coverage frequency of 7 relevant Spanish national newspapers from January 1997 to the present. The construction of the index follows closely the procedure in "Measuring Economic Policy Uncertainty" by Scott R. Baker, Nicholas Bloom and Steven J. Davis.

Our index is described in our paper "A new economic policy index for Spain".

For more information on the index, visit the dedicated page in the PolicyUncertainty website.
