Method notes
By Ulrich Djidonou. The question, approach, and limitations behind three public projects.
Measuring economic uncertainty
ICIE
- Question
- What can online searches tell us about economic uncertainty in Canada?
- Approach
- I present an index based on Google Trends, its sensitivity tests and external validation in a public dashboard.
- Interpretation limits
- The index measures a signal from online searches. It does not directly measure all the uncertainty experienced by households and firms, nor does it establish a causal relationship.
Automating monitoring, retaining judgment
La Frontière
- Question
- How can we identify research connecting economics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning?
- Approach
- The monitoring workflow combines Python collection, thematic selection, AI-generated summaries, and automated checks. Links to original texts let readers return to the source.
- Interpretation limits
- Selection and summaries are automated; they may miss a paper or simplify its argument. They help identify relevant work; reading the source is necessary to assess its methods and findings.
Connecting news and data
GeoEcon Pulse
- Question
- How can we follow geoeconomic developments across several regions in one tool?
- Approach
- The dashboard brings together indicators and news for Canada, the United States, China, India, and the world. Readers can move from the overview to the sources.
- Interpretation limits
- An updated dashboard does not mean all indicators cover the same period. Placing news alongside indicators does not establish a causal link.
