Abstract
Economic uncertainty has attracted a significant part of the modern research in economics, proving to be a significant factor for every economy. In this study, we focus on the transmission channel of uncertainty between developed economies, examining potential spillover effects between the U.S., the E.U., the U.K, Japan and Canada. Within a time-varying framework our empirical results indicate of a significant spillover of uncertainty from the E.U. to the U.S.
