Data available on my website

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.
