The table reports estimates from predictive regressions of growth in Korean industrial production index on term spread and its components with dummy variables of Korean EPU. All variable definitions are identical to those in Table 3, except for DK_E. DK_E is the dummy variable for high uncertainty periods. Horizon indicates predictive months of growth in industrial production index. Panels A and B report the results of term spread and its components, respectively. Newey and West (1987) corrected t-statistics are reported in parentheses. *, ** and *** represent significance at the 10, 5 and 1% levels, respectively
