datastream worldscope manualThis data could be accessed with the Thomson One Banker Excel add-in. However this tool is outdated and not supported anymore by Thomson Reuters. If you want to download this data from Datastream, please note the following: In Datastram Navigator check at the top of the screen what is selected behind Worldscope Report Type: If you want quarterly data, you have to change Annual into All or Interim to find the datatype and select the Interim datatype (with the A at the end of the Mnemonic). In most cases Interim means quarterly, but it can also mean semi-annual. When you select the annual datatype and request the data on a quarterly basis in Datastream, you will see that the annual value is repeated for each quarter. Please note: You won’t be able to see this when you change the currency in Datastream (due to changes in the exchange rate). Notify me of new posts via email.

Please note: You won’t be able to see this when you change the currency in Datastream (due to changes in the exchange rate). Here you can download the Announce Date and Announce Time. This date is the latest update date. This database has only data for North American companies. You have to select the kind of segment (Business, Geographic, Operating or State) you are looking for. Don’t forget to mark the items under Segment Description and Segment Industry codes. When you use the Datastream Excel add-in, select datatypes choose equities “WorldScope” and use the search term “Product segments”. Then you can select Product Segment 1 Description, Product Segment 1 SIC, Product Segment 1 Sales etc. There are 10 product segments, but most companies don’t have that many segments. In your output you will see a number, in the definition you can find the meaning of the numbers. You have to check the definition to see that DI means “Domestic standards generally in accordance with or fully compliant with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).”. Here history is also available (up to 10 years). In the output you’ll see IFRS, Local GAAP or Accounting practice unknown. To find out more, including how to control cookies, see here. Compustat and Orbis are accessible via from home. Worldscope contains data from 1980 onwards. Orbis from the end of the 90’s. In Worldscope one can use ISIN-, SEDOL- or DS-codes, in Orbis you need BvD, ISIN or tickers to retrieve the data. CRSP Treasury and Mergent’s FISD are accessible via WRDS with a daypass.from home. Bloomberg starts from the 70’s. In Bloomberg one can use ISIN-, SEDOL and Bloomberg tickers to retrieve the data. Typically, the contracts have a maturity of 5 years. A CDS can be thought of as a kind of insurance; it can be bought by any investor, not only those investors that actually hold the reference loan. Examples of items belonging to ESG data are: CO2 Reduction, Child Labor Controversies and Board Gender Diversity.http://shosholoza.de/ez-flo-fertilizer-manual.xml The coverage differs per database. There are also no universal standards or regulations. More info on these data items can be found here: We want to thank Arco van Oord and Dan Zhang (former EDSC members) for the development of this tool! ThomsonONE uses ISIN or Sedol codes. Bloomberg terminals are available in Y03-18. Bloomberg from the beginning of the 90’s. One can use ISIN-, SEDOL-, Ticker symbol to retrieve the data. In Datastream it’s easier to find future contracts, with the use of constituents lists. The lists of historical constituents are available in CompuStat North America and CompuStat Global. Unfortunately there is no list of the indices covered. Bloomberg terminals are available in Y03-18. Bloomberg oldest equity index is from 1928. After reshaping it's easier to merge it with other data (for example WRDS data). The data represents the sum of the relevant item reported in the last twelve months. From the fiscal period 2002, the items are populated from the quarterly, semi-annual and trimester time series based on the availability of the underlying data. The new 4 character datatypes can be used with the Datastream Global Equity indices and also all companies covered by Worldscope on Datastream. With datatype you enter DWSL for the Sales. You can do that like this. This database is accessible only on specific library workstations labelled Datastream Adjustments for corporate actions are also included and comprehensive annual history dates back to 1980.

In addition, it records company information using four templates: banks, industrial companies, insurance companies and other financial companies. This means that many of Worldscope’s datatypes only have values for a subset of the companies covered (e.g. US companies). In 2009, it unified its dual listed company structure and stopped its listing on the London Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. It is now listed only as Thomson Reuters Corporation on the New York Stock Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange (symbol: TRI). Notify me of new posts via email.

Two basic questions are how many companies are covered by a database, and how much historical data is available. There is a Worldscope variable WC11516, Date added to product, but when a company is added this can include historical accounts data. For example, the company AECI (dscode 930060) has a value for WC11516 of 19920609 indicating it was added to Worldscope in June 1992. However a time series request for net sales (WC01001) shows that data is available at least from 1980. Company accounts data is available for approx 850 of these 1300 companies, and data pre-1990 looks limited. For equities and equity indices the datatype RI (total return index) is a little way down. (I guess it is not as popular with commercial Datastream users as academic ones.) If you want “key datatypes” then use the “Display Hierarchy” link on the left-hand side. Use the check-boxes at the left if you want to select multiple datatypes. On 28 May 2013 WSCOPEUK contains 5015 securities (a few companies issue multiple securities). Having discovered while writing this post that there are more issues here than expected further analysis is postponed to part3. It is accessed using either Datastream (active and inactive companies) or Thomson One Banker (active companies only).

This means that many of Worldscope’s datatypes only have values for a subset of the companies covered (e.g. US companies). It is available through Thomson One Banker and Datastream.The answer from the Thomson Reuters helpdesk is as follows: The following tips might help. See screencast However, it does not offer the flexibility to get your results directly as panel data. A significant amount of data is available through either database: The Datastream tab will only work on a PC with Datastream and its Excel add-in installed.It also contains complete coverage of US companies filing with the Securities Exchange Commission, with the exception of closed end investment companies.” (Worldscope Data Definitions Guide (Issue 9) 2010, p 24) Details of the Worldscope methodology and the defintions of the data items (datatypes) is given in the definitions document. Worldscope defines a large number of data items but some may only be available for companies in specific countries, or collection of the data item may only have started recently.

It was published in print between 1951 and 1999, continuing a similar pre-war publication. The Aktienfuhrer contains standardised reports from German and foreign corporations, that were traded at a German stock-exchange. The reports feature information on head offices and management, operations and investments, shareholder-structure and income statements. Amadeus is being replaced by the database Orbis. Up to 10 years of detailed information (consolidated statements are also provided when available) comprising 24 balance sheet items, 25 profit and loss account items and 26 ratios.For details please contact Stefan Scharnowski at the Chair of Finance (Prof. Theissen). The information is sourced from a combination of annual reports, information providers and regulatory sources. Bank Focus currently contains detailed information on 44,000 banks (29,000 US and 15,000 Non-US), offering detailed, standardized reports and ratios. Its templates are regularly updated to reflect the latest accounting and regulatory disclosures. Detailed information on salary, bonus, options and stock awards, non-equity incentive plans, pensions and other compensation items are available. Hundreds of data items, ratios and concepts and up to 12 years of annual history is included. International data sets have been designed to reflect the varieties of actual reporting practices used across the globe, while allowing for minimal normalization and establishing consistency on an item by item basis. COMPUSTAT North America files also contain information on indices, industry segments, banks, market prices, dividends, and earnings. Additional CRSP files provide stock indices, beta- and cap-based portfolio, treasury bond and risk-free rates, and mutual fund databases. University of Mannheim has currently subscribed to the CRSP stock and indices database. Dafne is being replaced by the database Orbis. The database comprises individual financial statements as well as consolidated financial statements (IAS, GAAP, HGB).Datastream is now a module of EIKON. EIKON contains a wealth of financial indicators, the stock market, bonds, the money and foreign exchange markets as well as the major commodities. Most of the data is available for convenient download. Access is managed via the ILIAS-group Finance Databases (FS 2014). For questions regarding access to EIKON, please contact the Subject Librarian for Business Studies and Economics. For academic staff access is available at the Chair of Finance. Please contact Stefan Scharnowski for details. Access to EIKON is limited to faculty and students of the University of Mannheim. Leverage the tools across mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, variable annuities, separate accounts, and hedge funds domiciled in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, and fully experience the power behind Morningstar Direct. Orbis combines information from regulatory and other sources, and delivers company information with added value. It can be used to research individual companies or groups of companies, search for companies by profile and to analyze and evaluate companies. All data is standardized for easy cross-border comparisons. Extended access can be used by professors and academic staff of the University of Mannheim as well as for student theses supervised by them. SNL works best with the current version of the Internet Explorer. It also contains complete coverage of US company filings with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), with the exception of closed end investment companies. For details please contact Stefan Scharnowski at the Chair of Finance (Prof. Theissen). For more information please read our Privacy policy. Please ask your mentor for advice. It consists of company and market related data. Eikon has substituted Datastream. For the access you should first check the short manual. For query functionality check BoardEx available in WRDS.Succeeded by Tomson Reuters' Eikon The data is updated daily and in many cases dates back as far as 1970. Please check the Library Module (Nestor) carefully how to prepare for Datastream (FEB students only).For more detail, variables and longer timeseries the use of Datastream is strongly recommended.

Company data for a few new countries has been added: Iraq, Rwanda and Syria. WorldScope company records are also available through Datastream and LexisNexis. In a nutshell it involved: From 2014 on Thomson stopped collecting data on some of the components and few more data measures from 2017 onwards. The related datatypes got the indicator inactive (between brackets).The new overall scores are now: During the year, if a scandal occurs, the company involved is penalized and this affects their overall ESG Combined Score and grading When companies were involved in ESG controversies, the ESG Combined Score is calculated as the weighted average of the ESG scores and ESG Controversies score per fiscal period, with recent controversies reflected in the latest complete period. When companies were not involved in ESG controversies, the ESG Combined Score is equal to the ESG Score. From the latter perspective I hope the inactive items (even though they are discontinued) will not be deleted from the original dataset. I hope this, because of reproducability of earlier research. The University of Manchester blog offers some additional information, including the 2015 list of Asset4 datatypes. If you wish to know which companies are covered, you can use the Find series button to search on ASSET4 and you will get lists by country etc. This includes the Full universe list with the code: LAST4ESG The data is usually reported with the calendar year as column or row headers. This can be compared to the Fiscal year in Compustat. For the fiscal year end the variable WC05350 can be used. The data from Compustat North America is reported in US Dollar. In Datastream you can choose to download your data in a specific currency (calculated using historical exchange rates according to Thomson) In Datastream it is the variable: WC07536 ISIN codes are also regularly available in other databases. For the Datastream downloads you will have to seperate the ISIN again from the code of the variable which (as a default) is presented after the ISIN code between brackets. The Datastream code (Datastream mnemonic) for instance, is such a code. If you need to seperate this from the code of the variable you need to make use of the length of the variable code which remains the same.The variable name is most easily seperated since the name is a fixed number of characters. Again similar functions using the length of the content of CELLS can be used. A different way of seperating both is using a combination of the Left() function combined with the function Find().This generates two new variables that both start with the name deel and are numbered, for example: deel1 deel2. Afterwards you rename the variables deel1 and deel2 to what you need. In a nutshell, the answer is: to a certain point and with some manual searches many codes can be indeed turned into codes for other databases if you can use Datastream. These codes usually originate from Thomson Reuters databases like Thomson One, Eikon or Thomson Reuters News Analytics. The RIC codes for companies usually have a root code and a suffix for the market of a listing. If a company has multiple listings the root stays the same but the suffix gives indicates a different market. A theoretical example: the IBN company has the root code IBM and for a listing at the london stock exchange.L would be added to get the RIC code: IBM.L. If the listing is at the New York Stock exchange.N would be added to create IBM.N. The trouble was: most databases cannot work with RIC codes as these are proprietary and are not included as codes. Although Datastream is a Thomson Reuters database, and RIC codes (or Thomson1 codes) can be recognised somehow, Datastream sometimes does not provide output or does not return the RIC codes. In excel this can be done by using the function from the Data tab, called: Text to columns. Important to remember here is: not all market codes start with a dot. In Excel this character usually signifies the start of a function. Be sure to use the Text to columns option and seperate everything out in one or more rounds and have every column seperated as Text. This time you do not seperate the RIC code out in two text colums. The first column which carries the root code should now be left at “ general “: These zeros need to stay there because they are part of the code and when converting RIC codes to codes for Datastream these zeros sometimes need to still be there. In essence: we get two columns where you can choose either the original RIC root codes, or the abbreviated ones when necessary. The end result should look as follows: I did a few searches and found an excellent site from SIRCA that provided me with a list. I copied and saved this as a text file and imported this text file where each column is a TEXT column.Choose the relevant Ticker column A or B (which we created) when the Mnemonic or local code requires it. First copy the new codes to a new sheet (or column) and paste them as values to get rid of the Excel formulas. Then upload them using the Datastream option: “ Create List(From Range) “: In the example search I requested the following codes back: DSCD (Datastream code), NAME, ISIN code.The result looks something like this: The changes concern the addition of some important search filters to more easily allow for finding and selecting the right series and data types (variables). Some of these filter options are older ones that have returned from a previous edition of the Datastream Navigator. I found out that in most cases for me the Excel add-in was the most useful part and allowed me to download larger amounts of data. The specific Add-in did, however, miss a key feature which I use heavily in Datastream: there is no Request Table tool to allow event studies with changing dates and time windows. Using the add-in I was able to figure out how to still do something like this using the commands which Thomson inputs in your Excel worksheet to call up the data. You can download the example here. Otherwise the sheet will immediately start updating as the Add-in and Eikon code is usually set up this way. In columns B and C the Start and End dates for the series go. If you need an exact number of trading days (of data) you can use the formulas from a previous post. If the exact number of days need not be the exact same column D shows the number of calendar days between the start and end days. This is done by deducting the end date from the start date. This works fine as dates are also numbers in Excel.There is just a technical reason for this, otherwise the Eikon code does not accept the generated destination cells.You will see that the data download starts automatically. For larger datasets, however, it may become a problem to download the data in wide format and also the Stata software may have difficulty changing the presentation. Try downloading everything without transposing and you get everything in long format as follows: It should look as follows: 9) Make a new copy of the first changed sheet and delete the first few rows. The sheet should now look as follows: Change the variable names and make sure that the column with numbers is called company. Next save this as a Stata database. 12) Use clear all to start with the second sheet. Now import the second sheet with the company ISIN codes from step 8. Make sure to save this file. If you want to use this, be sure to extract both files to the folder c:\temp on your computer. You can also extract them in a different folder. In that case you need to change the locations of the files in the.do file before running the file in Stata. If there are problems I recommend converting the download in brackets of 100 to 200 companies and then appending the resulting databases to create a single Stata database. I do not claim any credit for the original idea but the Stata example provided on this blog was made by me. This includes 47560 active and 33850 inactive companies. The last 2 updates: 913 companies were added. Because of the changes the number inactive companies in the database has stayed approximately the same: at the moment 47560. WorldScope company records are also available through Datastream and LexisNexis. Forecast accuracy is defined as the absolute difference between the consensus analysts’ forecasts and actual earnings per share divided by the firm share price at the beginning of the quarter. Differences between actual and forecast earnings can be considered “surprise data”. The answer I came up with (with the help of the Thomson helpdesk) was the following: It is also very difficult to calculate the Surprise data manually because of Datstream padding function. Regardless of whether you decide to use IBES or Datastream data types, you should not use data types from both sources in the same analysis. Only use IBES data types or only use Datastream data types. See below for an example with colours to indicate the quarter data to be compared. The Microsoft Excel add-in enables users to search the Datastream database from inside Excel. This database includes worldwide equity coverage direct from the stock markets, comprehensive market indices, economics data direct from national government sources as well as the OECD and IMF, fixed income securities and associated indices, commodities and derivatives data. If another user is waiting to access Datastream, please be courteous and limit your access time to 30 minutes.
