Title: Smoothed World Uncertainty Index for Malawi Series ID: WUIMAMWI Source: Ahir, Hites, Bloom, Nick, Furceri, Davide Release: World Uncertainty Index (Not a Press Release) Seasonal Adjustment: Not Seasonally Adjusted Frequency: Quarterly Units: Index Date Range: 1967-01-01 to 2024-01-01 Last Updated: 2024-04-15 2:33 PM CDT Notes: The World Uncertainty Index determines uncertainty using the frequency of the selfsame word in the quarterly Economist Intelligence Unit country reports. This smoothed version of the index is preferred over the index for country-level data. The 3-quarter weighted moving average is computed as follows: 1996Q4 = (1996Q4*0.6) + (1996Q3*0.3) + (1996Q2*0.1)/3. Please see Hites Ahir, Nicholas Bloom and Davide Furceri (2018), 'The World Uncertainty Index' (https://www.policyuncertainty.com/media/WUI_mimeo_10_29.pdf) for additional explanation.
