Governance Measures
Projects --> Winner's Curse --> Data
Open the GovernanceVARS.txt
These are
- staggered boards
- limits to shareholder bylaw amendments
- limits to shareholder charter amendments
- supermajority requirements for mergers
- poison pills
- golden parachutes
To do list
Processing the SDC data:
- Find SIC codes concordance to get NAICS for old data
- Acquirer publicly traded ( must be AMEX, NASDAQ, or NYSE)
- Magic with CUSIPs : CUSIP is a nine digit number (possibly ten, ) Seven issuer, two issue, one check
CRSP processing notes:
- Estimation window 250 days ending 30 days before the Acq. must be at least 50 continuous days before the 30 days window.
- Returns and prices may contain codes. Import as var_char and reprocess?
Other notes:
- See page 9 of the paper for data processing notes.
- Data dictionary for SDC MA: http://www.edegan.com/repository/DD-ThomsonSDCMA.txt

Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir)
Data file is located in: E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\CRSP-Oct10-c30cc89e52b70545-1.txt
Issue 1: The text file is 8 GB large and there's no way to open it in Textpad. I'll try to read the file in LogExpert which seems to do a neat job in in opening large files. Otherwise, I'll try to read the first few lines in the terminal. Update: I managed to open the file in LogExpert. However, extremely inefficient to scroll over the file.
I copied the file to Z:\WinnersCurse\CRSP-oct10
Entered the following command in the terminal to read the header: head -1 CRSP-oct10.txt
List of variables in the CRSP-oct10.txt (For description of variables see
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\oct10 CRSP.txt
- PERMNO
- date
- EXCHCD
- SICCD
- NCUSIP
- TICKER
- COMNAM
- NAICS
- PRIMEXCH
- PERMCO
- CUSIP
- PRC
- VOL
- RET
- SHR
- OUT
- NUMTRD
- vwretdPE
- ewretd
CREATE TABLE CRSP (
PermNo int, date date, EXcode int, SIC int, NCUSIP varchar(10), Ticker varchar(10), Name varchar(100), NAICS int, PrimEx varchar(1), PERMCO int, CUSIP varchar(12), Price real, VOL int, RET real, ShOut int, trade int, EQRET real, VRET real);
The data file, crsp-oct10.txt, has a header in the first line. I couldn't find an argument for copy from function to account for this. So, I'll just delete the first line from the file and try again to copy the data into the crsp table.
tail -n +2 CRSP-oct10.txt > CRSP-oct10NH.stdout
I renamed the output to CRSP-NH, NH for no header. Let's take a look if the header is actually removed.
head -2 CRSP-NH.txt
output: 10000 1986/01/06 7952 68391610 -0.000138 0.001926 10000 1986/01/07 3 3990 68391610 OMFGA OPTIMUM MANUFACTURING INC Q 7952 68391610 -2.56250 1000 C 3680 0.013809 0.011061
Now, let's copy the data from CRSP-NH.txt into the CRSP table.
\COPY crsp FROM '/bulk/WinnersCurse/CRSP-NH.txt'; ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "" CONTEXT: COPY crsp, line 1, column excode: ""
To avoid problems such the one above, I'll just copy all the variables as varchar.
CREATE TABLE CRSPtmp (
PermNo varchar(10), date date, EXcode varchar(10), SIC varchar(10), NCUSIP varchar(10), Ticker varchar(10), Name varchar(100), NAICS varchar(10), PrimEx varchar(1), PERMCO varchar(10), CUSIP varchar(12), Price varchar(15), VOL varchar(10), RET varchar(10), ShOut varchar(10), trade varchar(10), EQRET varchar(10), VRET varchar(10));
\COPY CRSPtmp FROM '/bulk/WinnersCurse/CRSP-NH.txt'; COPY 64614281
SELECT * FROM CRSPtmp limit 10;
