Notes    
This index reflects firms' uncertainty 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 uncertainty index captures uncertainty about the outlook for sample firms. Each index is standardized to have mean and variance of 100 during the period from January 2015 to December 2018.
