Uncertainty Indices for Ireland

We are pleased to host two indexes of Economic Policy Uncertainty and related concepts for Ireland that were developed by two independent researchers:

Ryan Zalla developed an index of Economic Policy Uncertainty for Ireland that runs from January 1985 to the present.

Jonathan Rice developed indexes of Economic Policy Uncertainty for Ireland that cover both total and domestic political uncertainty, running from January 1982 to the present.

Both teams follow the newspaper-based methods in "Measuring Economic Policy Uncertainty" by Scott R. Baker, Nicholas Bloom and Steven J. Davis.
