This paper reviews the research on the economic policy uncertainty (EPU). Measurement of EPU is first brought up by Nick Bloom and his co-authors and then has been widely generalized and applied in the empirical studies. We survey the literature on both the construction of the EPU proxies and the impacts of EPU on the economy.
