“…policy uncertainty using a large-scale FAVAR model with data for 18 OECD countries. Their results are broadly in line with those of Caggiano, Castelnuovo, and Figueres (2019), in the sense that the e↵ects of both U.S. and E.A. uncertainty shocks are generally negative on all countries, with stronger e↵ects for the former than for the latter, and with uncertainty shocks originating in one country quickly increasing uncertainty in the other countries.…”

“…Other research has focused on the international transmission of policy uncertainty. 1 From a nonlinear (smooth transition) VAR, Caggiano, Castelnuovo, and Figueres (2019) find significant asymmetries, with Canadian (and U.K.) unemployment increasing after a U.S. uncertainty shock in recessions but not expansions. Their interpretation of the results is that higher U.S. policy uncertainty leads to higher uncertainty in Canada and the U.K., and this in turn a↵ects economic activity.…”

“…Our measures of uncertainty are likely to capture a combination of domestic and international uncertainty. Uncertainty spillovers at a country‐level have been documented by, among others, Colombo () and Caggiano, Castelnuovo and Figueres (). Hence, one should read the contribution of uncertainty shocks to business cycle fluctuations documented in Table as that of spikes in domestic and international uncertainty.…”

“…The strong correlation between the United States, global and Australian measures suggests that US policy uncertainty has significant international spillovers. Similiarly, US economic policy uncertainty has been shown to have significant spillover effects for Canada (Caggiano and Castelnuovo ). Policy uncertainty abroad increases uncertainty in Australia.…”
