英文摘要：
  This paper constructs a global economic policy uncertainty index through the principal component analysis of the economic policy uncertainty indices for twenty primary economies around the world. We find that the PCA-based global economic policy uncertainty index is a good proxy for the economic policy uncertainty on a global scale, which is quite consistent with the GDP-weighted global economic policy uncertainty index. The PCA-based economic policy uncertainty index is found to be positively related with the volatility and correlation of the global financial market, which indicates that the stocks are more volatile and correlated when the global economic policy uncertainty is higher. The PCA-based global economic policy uncertainty index performs slightly better because the relationship between the PCA-based uncertainty and market volatility and correlation is more significant.

中文摘要：
本文通过对全球20个主要经济体的经济政策不确定性指数进行主成分分析，构建了全球经济政策不确定性指数。我们发现，基于主成分分析的全球经济政策不确定性指数可以很好地代表全球范围内的经济政策不确定性，这与GDP加权的全球经济政策不确定性指数非常一致。基于主成分分析的经济政策不确定性指数与全球金融市场的波动性和相关性呈正相关，表明全球经济政策不确定性越高，股票的波动性和相关性越大。基于主成分分析的全球经济政策不确定性指数表现稍好，因为基于主成分分析的不确定性与市场波动性和相关性之间的关系更为显著。
