Abstract

From experience in research, teaching, and support to research community, I realize there may be a knowledge gap in between financial economic theories and their empirical implementations, resulting inefficient research designs and less reproducible outputs especially among the researchers in their early career. This slide deck is created to partially fill this gap in a practical way. Through four empirical case studies, essential knowledge of major financial databases, CRSP, Compustat, I/B/E/S, and Refinitive Ownership is introduced with a concise SAS execution of widely used applications, Fama and French Factors, Event Studies, Post-earning Announcement Drift and DGTW adjusted returns. Various data details, obscures, and errors documented in literature are also discussed within a context of design and implementation of real research applications.
