Effects of Economic Policy Uncertainty Shocks on the Long-Run US-UK Stock Market Correlation

Asgharian, Hossein LU ; Christiansen, Charlotte and Hou, Ai Jun (2016) In CREATES Research Papers 2016(29).
Abstract
We use the economic policy uncertainty indices of Baker, Bloom, and Davis (2016) in combination with the mixed data sampling (MIDAS) approach to investigate the US and UK stock market movements. The long-run US-UK stock market correlation depends positively on US economic policy uncertainty shocks. The US long-run stock market volatility depends significantly on the US economic policy uncertainty shocks but not on UK shocks while the UK depends significantly on both.
