文摘At present,most of the research discussing the uncertainty of fiscal policy is based on the total fiscal policy and foreign data.There is no literature on the index construction of China’s total and specific fiscal policy.By means of the standard data collecting methods of policy uncertainty with China’s contextual characteristics of fiscal policy,this paper constructs China’s fiscal policy uncertainty index.This paper also analyzes the statistical features of China’s fiscal policy uncertainty index and the main factors affecting the uncertainty.Firstly,the index constructed in this paper is robust while the volatility of fiscal expenditure uncertainty is higher than that of the policy.Secondly,the fiscal policy uncertainty index is characterized by regime-switching between“low mean,low volatility”and“high mean,high volatility”.Thirdly,the uncertainty of fiscal policy is closely related to the volatility of economic growth and monetary policy uncertainty.It means that studying the uncertainty of China’s fiscal policy is of practical significance.Finally,domestic factors are the main causes affecting fiscal policy uncertainty.
