Data available on my website


Bronwyn H. Hall, University of California at Berkeley

This document describes the data available in the directory /pubdata on my website. Potential users of several of these files should be aware that some of these data are drawn primarily from the Compustat files of Standard and Poor, and as such are proprietary to S&P. Before using these files, you should ascertain that your home institution is a Compustat subscriber. For patent data other than that used in my papers, go here.

Some of the files are stored as zip format. The data files are either in ASCII text or stata format (version 13 and prior) and are readable by stata or tsp. If you wish another format, I suggest you acquire stat/transfer, an excellent program that converts data files to and from a large variety of formats.

These data files are made available to other researchers on an AS IS basis. Because of the volume of requests and time constraints, I am unable to answer inquiries about them; users and potential users are referred to the publications cited within the documentation files for further information. Copies of these publications are available on my website.
