CBDC INDICES

While the times are certainly changing, let us hope money remains with us. Welcome to the Central Bank Digital Currency era!

Based on 663.9 million news stories from LexisNexis News & Business, we provide two new indices for central bank digital currency (CBDC) analysis: the CBDC Uncertainty Index (CBDCUI) and CBDC Attention Index (CBDCAI). 

The published paper here is at Wang, Y*., Lucey, B. M., Vigne, S., & Yarovaya, L. (2022). The Effects of Central Bank Digital Currencies News on Financial Markets. Technological Forecasting and Social Change.

The latest CBDC Weekly Indices data can be downloaded from here. Available until 2024 Q4 now.
