Description
Luis Rocha and Derek Abbott track in 2026 United States economic news sentiment across forty five years of daily data. Tone in mass media stands in for collective mood, though mood itself stays unseen. Twenty four newspapers feed a daily index from nineteen eighty onward.
Average tone balance holds broadly steady across the span. Yet sentiment states last far longer now, with fewer flips and lower swing size. Negative bursts outlast positive ones in the recent data. A slow memory model fits the shift, with weaker short-run correction over time.
