Abstract

The environment that economic policy makers face today is characterised by both a large amount of uncertainty and a high level of globalisation. This blog post highlights a perception of increasing uncertainty by economic agents when external shocks become more frequent, and a faster transmission of these shocks when the economy is more open, or when traded goods are produced within more sophisticated "value chains". Globalisation has thus heightened the macroeconomic impact of uncertainty on the real economy, amplifying the consequences of international uncertainty shocks. L’environnement auquel font face les décideurs de politique économique aujourd’hui est caractérisé à la fois par une forte incertitude et un haut niveau de mondialisation. Le billet met en évidence une perception d’incertitude croissante par les agents économiques lorsque des chocs externes se multiplient, et une transmission plus rapide de ces chocs lorsque l’économie est plus ouverte, ou que les biens échangés sont produits au sein de "chaines de valeur" plus sophistiquées. La mondialisation a donc accru l'impact macroéconomique de l'incertitude sur l'économie réelle, amplifiant les conséquences des chocs d'incertitude internationaux.
