Q. Do you have WRDS?

The University of Denver does have access to WRDS (Wharton Research Data Services) as a result of the Daniels College of Business subscription. The fee-based databases available through this subscription are listed below:

• Compustat – “Provides global “market information on active and inactive publicly held companies.” Access to Execucomp is also available here.
• CRSP (Center for Research in Security Prices) – CRSP “maintains the most comprehensive collection of security price, return, and volume data for the NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stock markets.”
• Dow Jones Averages & Total Return Indexes (Daily and Monthly) – “Covers the Dow Jones Averages and the Dow Jones Total Return Indexes."
• Eventus – “Performs event studies using data read directly from CRSP stock databases or pre-extracted from any source."

University of Denver faculty, graduate assistants, and doctoral and graduate students who would like to access this database should register for an account at: http://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/.

More information about accessing this database is available in the WRDS research guide.
