Help With Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) Data Bases CRSP is the Center for Research in Security Prices at the University of Chicago, but it commonly refers to the database files which that center distributes. Until recently, researchers requiring CRSP data have accessed it using FORTRAN programs. This email list will provide a forum for users and administrators to help one another with SAS, FORTRAN, Splus and other programs which install, extract, or utilize CRSP data. Discussion of Compustat, IBES, and other financial databases is also welcome. If your question may have been addressed previously, please check the CRSP-L FAQ maintained by Don Cram at http://www.stanford.edu/class/gsb/crsp/CRSP-L/ before posting.
