Title: Asymmetric Effects of the COVID-19 Outbreak on Economic Policy Uncertainty
Abstract:  We examine the asymmetric impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Economic Policy Uncertainty Index for United States (EPU). Our results indicate that the pandemic has had a long-term impact on EPU. In addition, there is no strong short-term impact of the epidemic on EPU. We also find symmetric effects of the COVID-19 shock (positive and negative) on EPU and note that the effects of the two shocks are quite similar.
