Turning Words into Numbers: Measuring News Media Coverage of Shortages

Staff discussion paper 2023-8 Lin Chen, Stéphanie Houle

Our indicators track both supply (raw, intermediate and final goods) and labour shortages over time. They also provide weekly time-varying topic narratives about various types of shortages.
