And at the offices of Standard & Poor's Financial
Communications, those questions are answered by FileMaker Pro -- the
award-winning database software application from FileMaker, Inc.
Two of these databases are linked: the Online Planning
Interactive Experiment (known as 'OPIE') database is
the heart of the system, containing detailed job-tracking data for each pending
project. It's linked to a Timeline database, which contains over one hundred
records documenting important reference information specific to each client and
job. A third database, Business Cards, contains detailed information for key
business contacts. But the 'OPIE' database is the
busiest one in the system -- at any given time it contains over a hundred
records, each one documenting a single pending project.

The COMPUSTAT
database from Standard and Poors is one of the
most extensive databases of business financial data available. It provides
annual and quarterly ... |
It provides
annual and quarterly income statement and balance sheet data on over 10,000
firms dating back to the 1950s.
The files are all stored on
unix in the /usr/finance/compustat directory.
Notice that the backdata and wayback data
overlap. This is because COMPUSTAT wants to
send 20 years worth of data on every annual tape.
The COMPUSTAT tapes come zipped up via ftp. Backdoor in
zip format… nice

hmm
Fortran access to the COMPUSTAT data is pretty straightforward after it is loaded
onto disk. Note,
however, that there is a BUG IN THE SUN FORTRAN F90 VERISION 1.2 COMPILER that makes things interesting if you
don't know about it!!! The insidious little rascal will not
allow you to read a record that is longer than 267 characters, and
SUN has done very little to document its existence and its fix. You will
know that you have the bug if, when you try to access any file, except the SIC
file, or the Reference File of SIC Codes, you get a lib-1217 runtime
error. There are two fixes.
1. Don't use f90 to compile. Use f77 to compile instead. This works fine, except that you are probably using f90 to access the CRSP files, and those bozos at University of Chicago will only support f90 version 1.1 or later (and begrudgingly at that)--they won't provide the source codes for the runtime libraries so you can use whichever compiler you want. This leaves you in the situation of having to use one compiler for COMPUSTAT programs, and another compiler for CRSP programs. Kind of a pain in the pattootie.
2. hmm
When data is missing from
the Compustat Database, Compustat
assigns a missing observation code. You have to be careful when reading the data, because the missing
observations are just coded as special numbers, and you might process the data as if it were actual
accounting data rather than a missing observation code. Following
are the codes that Compustat uses, and what they mean:

Overview
PC PLUS is essentially a point-an-click application that runs queries on
the Compustat database. The Compustat
database contains the following information: Over 9,500 active and 8,00
inactive companies; over 900 Canadian companies; over 175 indexes, including
the S&P industry and market indexes; over 300
Industry Aggregates; hundreds of annual fundamental financial data items;
quarterly fundamental financial data items; prices, dividends, and earnings
information; line-of-business segment information and geographic segment
information; S&P's ratings and rankings; name and
address-company and officer information; 20 years of annual data; 12 years of
quarterly data; 20 years of monthly market data (prices, dividends, and
earnings); 7 years of business segments; 7 years of geographic segments.

Abstract: We
examine the fit between the
ownership data provided by four
surrogate databases and the data collected from proxy statements. We discover an unambiguous pecking order
among the surrogates relative to the benchmark ownership statistics of corporate
proxy statements.
Further tests show that reporting
discrepancies in the Value Line and Spectrum databases could affect economic inferences drawn from
regressions using their ownership data
A simulated contrarian strategy transforms "noise" in closing
price estimates into return biases, by buying at predominantly bid prices and
shorting at ask, which is not doable for most investors. The bias in estimated
contrarian portfolio returns is severe. For
example, when returns are calculated from successive bid prices of Nasdaq stocks, short-term contrarian profits largely disappear
Hmm
Abstract: This paper issues a warning
that compounding daily returns of the Center for
Research in Security Prices (CRSP)
equal-weighted index can lead to surprisingly large biases.
The evidence demonstrates that some errors remain undetected for long periods of time.
Although all mutual funds are listed in CRSP, return data is missing for many and the
characteristics of these funds differ from the populations. The CRSP return data is biased upward and merger
months are inaccurately recorded about half the time
Abstract: Differences between SIC codes assigned to
companies by COMPUSTAT
and CRSP are
examined. Large
differences are observed at two-, three-, and four-digit levels
§
Abstract: Using approximately 10,000 firms
jointly covered by Compustat and CRSP from 1974 to
Significant differences
are found between COMPU-STAT and Value Line in the
types of financial data reported for commonly used data items such as sales and
total assets
In
addition, the distribution of the size of firms in the databases has shifted
over time.
A study analyzing effective tax
rates provides a good example because the use of the different databases produces very different results
However,
after controlling for common firms, the remaining significant differences can only be
attributed to differences in the manner in which the financial
accounting data are assimilated into the databases.
(here I say no that
will not be the answer, since ancient time there has been backdoors set in
place in cobol- databases fortran
unix etc) supporting the possibility to alter small
amount of data hexadecimal way producing significant changes in result)
therefore added with faults hashfunction in the
integrity checking of backup orginal has been not
working as it should do.
The
error rate varies widely, although it is generally higher for items reported in
the footnotes than for items reported on the income statement or balance sheet.
The error rates
are higher for utilities and when special items are reported on the income
statement below income from continuing operations. These special items include the use of an net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, discontinued operations, cumulative
adjustments, and extraordinary items. In addition to errors,
researchers should be aware of COMPUSTAT's coding
policies. Under some circumstances, a field may indicate an amount is missing when an amount is
reported in the financial statements. This is particularly true for
the breakdown of current and deferred taxes into federal, state, and foreign
components. The usefulness of the NOL carryforward field is also limited by COMPUSTAT's
coding policies and errors.
And
Researchers are prohibited in many cases from
determining the amounts actually reported in prior years, leading to
misclassified observations. We obtain actual (unadjusted)
earnings and forecast data from I/B/E/S and compare results to those generated
using the adjusted I/B/E/S data. We replicate prior studies and find that
conclusions are affected when using the actual I/B/E/S data.
And
there are a few large errors in both data bases, and
these few errors are sufficient to change sharply the apparent nature of the
data
and
The
comparisons indicated that numerous, and sometimes significant, inaccuracies existed between the two widely
used sources of financial information
And
We
investigate the bias in CRSP
data due to
missing returns for many of the stocks delisted from Nasdaq. We find that missing
returns are far more common when the delisting is for reasons of poor
performance, and we find the missing returns to be large and negative on
average.
We
revisit previous work which finds a size effect in Nasdaq data and find that when the data are corrected for the delisting bias, the evidence for a
size effect in Nasdaq data disappears.
And
Substantial data differences
are found, most of which are attributable to definitional discrepancies and others to
direct measurement error
