The Center for Research of Security Prices (CRSP) provides a unique database with financial data on publicly listed companies in the US. It includes data on over 32,000 active (and inactive) major American companies. The database includes financial metrics like balance sheet data (Compustat) and market data like stock prices, returns, and trading volume (CRSP).
For more details about CRSP/Compustat see https://www.crsp.org/products/research-products/crsp-us-stock-databases
The license of the faculty of economics and management for CRSP/Compustat data does not provide real-time financial data, but is updated annually by CRSP and quarterly by Compustat.
The included data is made available for individual download via the LUH-based Project Seafile. Feel free to contact Florian Sckade with any questions or comments.
After application, you'll soon receive an email urging you to set an individual password for your LUH project account.
