Abstract: | This paper uses semantic fingerprints of news to measure news intensity for countries. Estimation results from DCC-GARCH models show that correlations between news intensity and economic uncertainty are mostly positive throughout time. The more relevant news about a country are published, the higher is the economic uncertainty in that country. News intensity also has a negative impact on correlations between uncertainty and inflation, and a positive impact on correlations between uncertainty and output growth. |
