                     methodology and panel design for the Survey of Business Uncertainty.
                     For more details, see the revised methodology
                     (https://www.frbatlanta.org/-/media/documents/research/surveys/business-uncertainty/survey-of-business-uncertainty-methodology.pdf).
                     
                     This index reflects firms' expectations about the growth of their own
                     sales, employment, and capital expenditures over the next 12 months.
                     The index can respond to news about the overall economy, changes in
                     business sentiment, policy developments, stock market moves, interest
                     rate changes, and changes in the outlook of firms in the sample. The
                     expectations index captures the expected direction and magnitude of
                     each change for sample firms. Each index is standardized to have mean
                     and variance of 100 during the period from January 2015 to December
                     2018.
