Title: Discussion About Pandemics Index for Eritrea Series ID: WPDIERI 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: 1996-01-01 to 2024-01-01 Last Updated: 2024-04-15 2:34 PM CDT Notes: The index of discussion about pandemics is constructed by counting the number of times a word related to pandemics is mentioned in the Economist Intelligence Unit country reports. Specifically, the index is the percent of the words related to pandemic episodes in EIU country reports, multiplied by 1,000. A higher number means higher discussion about pandemics and vice versa.
