Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

Merging with CRSP:
Q) Is CUSIP in RiskMetrics current or historical? How can I use it to merge with CRSP?
A) The Legacy files have the current CUSIP. With each update, WRDS updated the historical data with the latest value. Starting with the new Director and Governance files, we no longer modify the historical data.
To merge any of these datasets with CRSP, you can join on the NCUSIP field. This will match a single Permco (company identifier), but you may still need to select the primary Permno because some companies issue more than 1 security.

Merging EXECUCOMP AND IRRC:
Q) What is the best way to merge Execucomp and IRRC (director and governance) databases? I understand they both have CUSIP, but that matching with CUSIPs isn't always ideal since the CUSIP can change over time for the same firm.
A) All Execucomp (CUSIP), IRRC Governance (CN6), and IRRC Directors (CUSIP) CUSIPs are header cusips, in that they reflect the most recent CUSIP that the company has had. There are however 2 main differences between Execucomp's CUSIP and IRRC's CUSIP and CN6:
1. While Execucomp uses 8-digit CUSIP, both IRRC datasets have 6-digit CUSIPs. Therefore, you need to use a SAS function like "substr" to take the first 6-digit of Execucomp CUSIP before merging it to IRRC data. ex: cusip6 = substr(CUSIP,1,6);
2. While header convention reflect "most recent" value of an identifier variables, it is dependent on the date of update of each dataset. Therefore, for CUSIPs that change in between the time that both databases are updated, you might find some discrepancy. To overcome this issue, we recommend that you make use of the CRSP name files (ex: stocknames), that contains all historical CUSIPs that a company has had.

Also, good to know:
Best Identifier to Use in RiskMetrics Directors- Changes to Identifier between Legacy and Current Files
1. The primary identifier in the current dataset is year-ticker-director_detail_id. Ticker is better populated than cusip in earlier years, but should be about the same in the latest years. For the legacy directors, director_detail_id was in use for some years and legacy_director_id for others.
2. Cusips in the legacy file are "header". With each update, WRDS modified all previous cusips for a company to match the latest. Although it may help in some cases, it may hurt in others and it is not quite the way the data was delivered. Starting with the new directors file, Cusips appear in the file as they were delivered (effectively making them historical going forward). Cusips in the legacy data were also uniformly truncated to 6 digits for consistency. The new file reports them as they are delivered, typically (but not always) 9 digits.
3. Tickers were not changed over time and appear as they were delivered. One example is legacy company id (legacy_pps_id) 25 has tickers ASN and IKN.
4. Each time IRRC - ISS - Riskmetrics was acquired, new identification methods were introduced. This is why you see legacy company and director IDs. Neither is more correct, we recommend choosing the most populated one for the years in which you are working.
5. Constructing a complete time series in the directors data is not easy. There is no single variable that is populated for all companies and all years.
6. Be very careful when combining the legacy data (through 2006) and the current data (from 2007). They were separated because the collection methods and meaning of some variables changed.

==Paper Discussion==

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

Merging with CRSP:
Q) Is CUSIP in RiskMetrics current or historical? How can I use it to merge with CRSP?
A) The Legacy files have the current CUSIP. With each update, WRDS updated the historical data with the latest value. Starting with the new Director and Governance files, we no longer modify the historical data.
To merge any of these datasets with CRSP, you can join on the NCUSIP field. This will match a single Permco (company identifier), but you may still need to select the primary Permno because some companies issue more than 1 security.

Merging EXECUCOMP AND IRRC:
Q) What is the best way to merge Execucomp and IRRC (director and governance) databases? I understand they both have CUSIP, but that matching with CUSIPs isn't always ideal since the CUSIP can change over time for the same firm.
A) All Execucomp (CUSIP), IRRC Governance (CN6), and IRRC Directors (CUSIP) CUSIPs are header cusips, in that they reflect the most recent CUSIP that the company has had. There are however 2 main differences between Execucomp's CUSIP and IRRC's CUSIP and CN6:
1. While Execucomp uses 8-digit CUSIP, both IRRC datasets have 6-digit CUSIPs. Therefore, you need to use a SAS function like "substr" to take the first 6-digit of Execucomp CUSIP before merging it to IRRC data. ex: cusip6 = substr(CUSIP,1,6);
2. While header convention reflect "most recent" value of an identifier variables, it is dependent on the date of update of each dataset. Therefore, for CUSIPs that change in between the time that both databases are updated, you might find some discrepancy. To overcome this issue, we recommend that you make use of the CRSP name files (ex: stocknames), that contains all historical CUSIPs that a company has had.

Also, good to know:
Best Identifier to Use in RiskMetrics Directors- Changes to Identifier between Legacy and Current Files
1. The primary identifier in the current dataset is year-ticker-director_detail_id. Ticker is better populated than cusip in earlier years, but should be about the same in the latest years. For the legacy directors, director_detail_id was in use for some years and legacy_director_id for others.
2. Cusips in the legacy file are "header". With each update, WRDS modified all previous cusips for a company to match the latest. Although it may help in some cases, it may hurt in others and it is not quite the way the data was delivered. Starting with the new directors file, Cusips appear in the file as they were delivered (effectively making them historical going forward). Cusips in the legacy data were also uniformly truncated to 6 digits for consistency. The new file reports them as they are delivered, typically (but not always) 9 digits.
3. Tickers were not changed over time and appear as they were delivered. One example is legacy company id (legacy_pps_id) 25 has tickers ASN and IKN.
4. Each time IRRC - ISS - Riskmetrics was acquired, new identification methods were introduced. This is why you see legacy company and director IDs. Neither is more correct, we recommend choosing the most populated one for the years in which you are working.
5. Constructing a complete time series in the directors data is not easy. There is no single variable that is populated for all companies and all years.
6. Be very careful when combining the legacy data (through 2006) and the current data (from 2007). They were separated because the collection methods and meaning of some variables changed.

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

A copy of the normalizer is save here
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\NormalizeFixedWidth.pl

Follow these steps:
# Activate the Komodo license.
# Open Komodo IDE 9, there should be a shortcut on your desktop
# Drag and drop NormalizeFixedWidth.pl in Komdo
# Click on the start or continue debugging
# Type : -file=SDC_MA_Oct10v4.txt in Script Arguments textbox.
# Click on OK
# Enter the number of last line of the header and press return. This should be the line immediately followed by the first row of data.

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

==Three Big Pulls==

===SDC Mergers & Acquisitions===

Add the following (A=L+E) ---- DONE
TargetTotalAssets real, TASS: Taget Financials: Total Assets
TargetTotalLiabilities real, TLIA: Total Liabilities Last Twelve Months ($ Mil)

Merging with CRSP:
Q) Is CUSIP in RiskMetrics current or historical? How can I use it to merge with CRSP?
A) The Legacy files have the current CUSIP. With each update, WRDS updated the historical data with the latest value. Starting with the new Director and Governance files, we no longer modify the historical data.
To merge any of these datasets with CRSP, you can join on the NCUSIP field. This will match a single Permco (company identifier), but you may still need to select the primary Permno because some companies issue more than 1 security.

Merging EXECUCOMP AND IRRC:
Q) What is the best way to merge Execucomp and IRRC (director and governance) databases? I understand they both have CUSIP, but that matching with CUSIPs isn't always ideal since the CUSIP can change over time for the same firm.
A) All Execucomp (CUSIP), IRRC Governance (CN6), and IRRC Directors (CUSIP) CUSIPs are header cusips, in that they reflect the most recent CUSIP that the company has had. There are however 2 main differences between Execucomp's CUSIP and IRRC's CUSIP and CN6:
1. While Execucomp uses 8-digit CUSIP, both IRRC datasets have 6-digit CUSIPs. Therefore, you need to use a SAS function like "substr" to take the first 6-digit of Execucomp CUSIP before merging it to IRRC data. ex: cusip6 = substr(CUSIP,1,6);
2. While header convention reflect "most recent" value of an identifier variables, it is dependent on the date of update of each dataset. Therefore, for CUSIPs that change in between the time that both databases are updated, you might find some discrepancy. To overcome this issue, we recommend that you make use of the CRSP name files (ex: stocknames), that contains all historical CUSIPs that a company has had.

Also, good to know:
Best Identifier to Use in RiskMetrics Directors- Changes to Identifier between Legacy and Current Files
1. The primary identifier in the current dataset is year-ticker-director_detail_id. Ticker is better populated than cusip in earlier years, but should be about the same in the latest years. For the legacy directors, director_detail_id was in use for some years and legacy_director_id for others.
2. Cusips in the legacy file are "header". With each update, WRDS modified all previous cusips for a company to match the latest. Although it may help in some cases, it may hurt in others and it is not quite the way the data was delivered. Starting with the new directors file, Cusips appear in the file as they were delivered (effectively making them historical going forward). Cusips in the legacy data were also uniformly truncated to 6 digits for consistency. The new file reports them as they are delivered, typically (but not always) 9 digits.
3. Tickers were not changed over time and appear as they were delivered. One example is legacy company id (legacy_pps_id) 25 has tickers ASN and IKN.
4. Each time IRRC - ISS - Riskmetrics was acquired, new identification methods were introduced. This is why you see legacy company and director IDs. Neither is more correct, we recommend choosing the most populated one for the years in which you are working.
5. Constructing a complete time series in the directors data is not easy. There is no single variable that is populated for all companies and all years.
6. Be very careful when combining the legacy data (through 2006) and the current data (from 2007). They were separated because the collection methods and meaning of some variables changed.

==Paper Discussion==

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

Merging with CRSP:
Q) Is CUSIP in RiskMetrics current or historical? How can I use it to merge with CRSP?
A) The Legacy files have the current CUSIP. With each update, WRDS updated the historical data with the latest value. Starting with the new Director and Governance files, we no longer modify the historical data.
To merge any of these datasets with CRSP, you can join on the NCUSIP field. This will match a single Permco (company identifier), but you may still need to select the primary Permno because some companies issue more than 1 security.

Merging EXECUCOMP AND IRRC:
Q) What is the best way to merge Execucomp and IRRC (director and governance) databases? I understand they both have CUSIP, but that matching with CUSIPs isn't always ideal since the CUSIP can change over time for the same firm.
A) All Execucomp (CUSIP), IRRC Governance (CN6), and IRRC Directors (CUSIP) CUSIPs are header cusips, in that they reflect the most recent CUSIP that the company has had. There are however 2 main differences between Execucomp's CUSIP and IRRC's CUSIP and CN6:
1. While Execucomp uses 8-digit CUSIP, both IRRC datasets have 6-digit CUSIPs. Therefore, you need to use a SAS function like "substr" to take the first 6-digit of Execucomp CUSIP before merging it to IRRC data. ex: cusip6 = substr(CUSIP,1,6);
2. While header convention reflect "most recent" value of an identifier variables, it is dependent on the date of update of each dataset. Therefore, for CUSIPs that change in between the time that both databases are updated, you might find some discrepancy. To overcome this issue, we recommend that you make use of the CRSP name files (ex: stocknames), that contains all historical CUSIPs that a company has had.

Also, good to know:
Best Identifier to Use in RiskMetrics Directors- Changes to Identifier between Legacy and Current Files
1. The primary identifier in the current dataset is year-ticker-director_detail_id. Ticker is better populated than cusip in earlier years, but should be about the same in the latest years. For the legacy directors, director_detail_id was in use for some years and legacy_director_id for others.
2. Cusips in the legacy file are "header". With each update, WRDS modified all previous cusips for a company to match the latest. Although it may help in some cases, it may hurt in others and it is not quite the way the data was delivered. Starting with the new directors file, Cusips appear in the file as they were delivered (effectively making them historical going forward). Cusips in the legacy data were also uniformly truncated to 6 digits for consistency. The new file reports them as they are delivered, typically (but not always) 9 digits.
3. Tickers were not changed over time and appear as they were delivered. One example is legacy company id (legacy_pps_id) 25 has tickers ASN and IKN.
4. Each time IRRC - ISS - Riskmetrics was acquired, new identification methods were introduced. This is why you see legacy company and director IDs. Neither is more correct, we recommend choosing the most populated one for the years in which you are working.
5. Constructing a complete time series in the directors data is not easy. There is no single variable that is populated for all companies and all years.
6. Be very careful when combining the legacy data (through 2006) and the current data (from 2007). They were separated because the collection methods and meaning of some variables changed.

==Paper Discussion==

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

==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?

Merging with CRSP:
Q) Is CUSIP in RiskMetrics current or historical? How can I use it to merge with CRSP?
A) The Legacy files have the current CUSIP. With each update, WRDS updated the historical data with the latest value. Starting with the new Director and Governance files, we no longer modify the historical data.
To merge any of these datasets with CRSP, you can join on the NCUSIP field. This will match a single Permco (company identifier), but you may still need to select the primary Permno because some companies issue more than 1 security.

Merging EXECUCOMP AND IRRC:
Q) What is the best way to merge Execucomp and IRRC (director and governance) databases? I understand they both have CUSIP, but that matching with CUSIPs isn't always ideal since the CUSIP can change over time for the same firm.
A) All Execucomp (CUSIP), IRRC Governance (CN6), and IRRC Directors (CUSIP) CUSIPs are header cusips, in that they reflect the most recent CUSIP that the company has had. There are however 2 main differences between Execucomp's CUSIP and IRRC's CUSIP and CN6:
1. While Execucomp uses 8-digit CUSIP, both IRRC datasets have 6-digit CUSIPs. Therefore, you need to use a SAS function like "substr" to take the first 6-digit of Execucomp CUSIP before merging it to IRRC data. ex: cusip6 = substr(CUSIP,1,6);
2. While header convention reflect "most recent" value of an identifier variables, it is dependent on the date of update of each dataset. Therefore, for CUSIPs that change in between the time that both databases are updated, you might find some discrepancy. To overcome this issue, we recommend that you make use of the CRSP name files (ex: stocknames), that contains all historical CUSIPs that a company has had.

Also, good to know:
Best Identifier to Use in RiskMetrics Directors- Changes to Identifier between Legacy and Current Files
1. The primary identifier in the current dataset is year-ticker-director_detail_id. Ticker is better populated than cusip in earlier years, but should be about the same in the latest years. For the legacy directors, director_detail_id was in use for some years and legacy_director_id for others.
2. Cusips in the legacy file are "header". With each update, WRDS modified all previous cusips for a company to match the latest. Although it may help in some cases, it may hurt in others and it is not quite the way the data was delivered. Starting with the new directors file, Cusips appear in the file as they were delivered (effectively making them historical going forward). Cusips in the legacy data were also uniformly truncated to 6 digits for consistency. The new file reports them as they are delivered, typically (but not always) 9 digits.
3. Tickers were not changed over time and appear as they were delivered. One example is legacy company id (legacy_pps_id) 25 has tickers ASN and IKN.
4. Each time IRRC - ISS - Riskmetrics was acquired, new identification methods were introduced. This is why you see legacy company and director IDs. Neither is more correct, we recommend choosing the most populated one for the years in which you are working.
5. Constructing a complete time series in the directors data is not easy. There is no single variable that is populated for all companies and all years.
6. Be very careful when combining the legacy data (through 2006) and the current data (from 2007). They were separated because the collection methods and meaning of some variables changed.

==Paper Discussion==

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

==Three Big Pulls==

===SDC Mergers & Acquisitions===

Add the following (A=L+E) ---- DONE
TargetTotalAssets real, TASS: Taget Financials: Total Assets
TargetTotalLiabilities real, TLIA: Total Liabilities Last Twelve Months ($ Mil)

Merging with CRSP:
Q) Is CUSIP in RiskMetrics current or historical? How can I use it to merge with CRSP?
A) The Legacy files have the current CUSIP. With each update, WRDS updated the historical data with the latest value. Starting with the new Director and Governance files, we no longer modify the historical data.
To merge any of these datasets with CRSP, you can join on the NCUSIP field. This will match a single Permco (company identifier), but you may still need to select the primary Permno because some companies issue more than 1 security.

Merging EXECUCOMP AND IRRC:
Q) What is the best way to merge Execucomp and IRRC (director and governance) databases? I understand they both have CUSIP, but that matching with CUSIPs isn't always ideal since the CUSIP can change over time for the same firm.
A) All Execucomp (CUSIP), IRRC Governance (CN6), and IRRC Directors (CUSIP) CUSIPs are header cusips, in that they reflect the most recent CUSIP that the company has had. There are however 2 main differences between Execucomp's CUSIP and IRRC's CUSIP and CN6:
1. While Execucomp uses 8-digit CUSIP, both IRRC datasets have 6-digit CUSIPs. Therefore, you need to use a SAS function like "substr" to take the first 6-digit of Execucomp CUSIP before merging it to IRRC data. ex: cusip6 = substr(CUSIP,1,6);
2. While header convention reflect "most recent" value of an identifier variables, it is dependent on the date of update of each dataset. Therefore, for CUSIPs that change in between the time that both databases are updated, you might find some discrepancy. To overcome this issue, we recommend that you make use of the CRSP name files (ex: stocknames), that contains all historical CUSIPs that a company has had.

Also, good to know:
Best Identifier to Use in RiskMetrics Directors- Changes to Identifier between Legacy and Current Files
1. The primary identifier in the current dataset is year-ticker-director_detail_id. Ticker is better populated than cusip in earlier years, but should be about the same in the latest years. For the legacy directors, director_detail_id was in use for some years and legacy_director_id for others.
2. Cusips in the legacy file are "header". With each update, WRDS modified all previous cusips for a company to match the latest. Although it may help in some cases, it may hurt in others and it is not quite the way the data was delivered. Starting with the new directors file, Cusips appear in the file as they were delivered (effectively making them historical going forward). Cusips in the legacy data were also uniformly truncated to 6 digits for consistency. The new file reports them as they are delivered, typically (but not always) 9 digits.
3. Tickers were not changed over time and appear as they were delivered. One example is legacy company id (legacy_pps_id) 25 has tickers ASN and IKN.
4. Each time IRRC - ISS - Riskmetrics was acquired, new identification methods were introduced. This is why you see legacy company and director IDs. Neither is more correct, we recommend choosing the most populated one for the years in which you are working.
5. Constructing a complete time series in the directors data is not easy. There is no single variable that is populated for all companies and all years.
6. Be very careful when combining the legacy data (through 2006) and the current data (from 2007). They were separated because the collection methods and meaning of some variables changed.

==Paper Discussion==

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

==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?

Merging with CRSP:
Q) Is CUSIP in RiskMetrics current or historical? How can I use it to merge with CRSP?
A) The Legacy files have the current CUSIP. With each update, WRDS updated the historical data with the latest value. Starting with the new Director and Governance files, we no longer modify the historical data.
To merge any of these datasets with CRSP, you can join on the NCUSIP field. This will match a single Permco (company identifier), but you may still need to select the primary Permno because some companies issue more than 1 security.

Merging EXECUCOMP AND IRRC:
Q) What is the best way to merge Execucomp and IRRC (director and governance) databases? I understand they both have CUSIP, but that matching with CUSIPs isn't always ideal since the CUSIP can change over time for the same firm.
A) All Execucomp (CUSIP), IRRC Governance (CN6), and IRRC Directors (CUSIP) CUSIPs are header cusips, in that they reflect the most recent CUSIP that the company has had. There are however 2 main differences between Execucomp's CUSIP and IRRC's CUSIP and CN6:
1. While Execucomp uses 8-digit CUSIP, both IRRC datasets have 6-digit CUSIPs. Therefore, you need to use a SAS function like "substr" to take the first 6-digit of Execucomp CUSIP before merging it to IRRC data. ex: cusip6 = substr(CUSIP,1,6);
2. While header convention reflect "most recent" value of an identifier variables, it is dependent on the date of update of each dataset. Therefore, for CUSIPs that change in between the time that both databases are updated, you might find some discrepancy. To overcome this issue, we recommend that you make use of the CRSP name files (ex: stocknames), that contains all historical CUSIPs that a company has had.

Also, good to know:
Best Identifier to Use in RiskMetrics Directors- Changes to Identifier between Legacy and Current Files
1. The primary identifier in the current dataset is year-ticker-director_detail_id. Ticker is better populated than cusip in earlier years, but should be about the same in the latest years. For the legacy directors, director_detail_id was in use for some years and legacy_director_id for others.
2. Cusips in the legacy file are "header". With each update, WRDS modified all previous cusips for a company to match the latest. Although it may help in some cases, it may hurt in others and it is not quite the way the data was delivered. Starting with the new directors file, Cusips appear in the file as they were delivered (effectively making them historical going forward). Cusips in the legacy data were also uniformly truncated to 6 digits for consistency. The new file reports them as they are delivered, typically (but not always) 9 digits.
3. Tickers were not changed over time and appear as they were delivered. One example is legacy company id (legacy_pps_id) 25 has tickers ASN and IKN.
4. Each time IRRC - ISS - Riskmetrics was acquired, new identification methods were introduced. This is why you see legacy company and director IDs. Neither is more correct, we recommend choosing the most populated one for the years in which you are working.
5. Constructing a complete time series in the directors data is not easy. There is no single variable that is populated for all companies and all years.
6. Be very careful when combining the legacy data (through 2006) and the current data (from 2007). They were separated because the collection methods and meaning of some variables changed.

==Paper Discussion==

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

==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?

==Governance_Final Table (Amir)==
Data: ISS (formerly RiskMetrics) - Governance Data Request 2007-2015
Text file is saved in:
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Governance\RiskMetrics-0b578b37fbb59afa.txt

Merging with CRSP:
Q) Is CUSIP in RiskMetrics current or historical? How can I use it to merge with CRSP?
A) The Legacy files have the current CUSIP. With each update, WRDS updated the historical data with the latest value. Starting with the new Director and Governance files, we no longer modify the historical data.
To merge any of these datasets with CRSP, you can join on the NCUSIP field. This will match a single Permco (company identifier), but you may still need to select the primary Permno because some companies issue more than 1 security.

Merging EXECUCOMP AND IRRC:
Q) What is the best way to merge Execucomp and IRRC (director and governance) databases? I understand they both have CUSIP, but that matching with CUSIPs isn't always ideal since the CUSIP can change over time for the same firm.
A) All Execucomp (CUSIP), IRRC Governance (CN6), and IRRC Directors (CUSIP) CUSIPs are header cusips, in that they reflect the most recent CUSIP that the company has had. There are however 2 main differences between Execucomp's CUSIP and IRRC's CUSIP and CN6:
1. While Execucomp uses 8-digit CUSIP, both IRRC datasets have 6-digit CUSIPs. Therefore, you need to use a SAS function like "substr" to take the first 6-digit of Execucomp CUSIP before merging it to IRRC data. ex: cusip6 = substr(CUSIP,1,6);
2. While header convention reflect "most recent" value of an identifier variables, it is dependent on the date of update of each dataset. Therefore, for CUSIPs that change in between the time that both databases are updated, you might find some discrepancy. To overcome this issue, we recommend that you make use of the CRSP name files (ex: stocknames), that contains all historical CUSIPs that a company has had.

Also, good to know:
Best Identifier to Use in RiskMetrics Directors- Changes to Identifier between Legacy and Current Files
1. The primary identifier in the current dataset is year-ticker-director_detail_id. Ticker is better populated than cusip in earlier years, but should be about the same in the latest years. For the legacy directors, director_detail_id was in use for some years and legacy_director_id for others.
2. Cusips in the legacy file are "header". With each update, WRDS modified all previous cusips for a company to match the latest. Although it may help in some cases, it may hurt in others and it is not quite the way the data was delivered. Starting with the new directors file, Cusips appear in the file as they were delivered (effectively making them historical going forward). Cusips in the legacy data were also uniformly truncated to 6 digits for consistency. The new file reports them as they are delivered, typically (but not always) 9 digits.
3. Tickers were not changed over time and appear as they were delivered. One example is legacy company id (legacy_pps_id) 25 has tickers ASN and IKN.
4. Each time IRRC - ISS - Riskmetrics was acquired, new identification methods were introduced. This is why you see legacy company and director IDs. Neither is more correct, we recommend choosing the most populated one for the years in which you are working.
5. Constructing a complete time series in the directors data is not easy. There is no single variable that is populated for all companies and all years.
6. Be very careful when combining the legacy data (through 2006) and the current data (from 2007). They were separated because the collection methods and meaning of some variables changed.

==Paper Discussion==

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

CREATE TABLE CRSPtmp (
PermNo varchar(10),
date date,
EXcode varchar(10),
SIC varchar(10),
NCUSIP varchar(10),
Ticker varchar(10),

VOL varchar(10),

ShOut varchar(10),

);

\COPY crsptmp FROM '/bulk/WinnersCurse/CRSP-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

==Three Big Pulls==

*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

Merging EXECUCOMP AND IRRC:
Q) What is the best way to merge Execucomp and IRRC (director and governance) databases? I understand they both have CUSIP, but that matching with CUSIPs isn't always ideal since the CUSIP can change over time for the same firm.
A) All Execucomp (CUSIP), IRRC Governance (CN6), and IRRC Directors (CUSIP) CUSIPs are header cusips, in that they reflect the most recent CUSIP that the company has had. There are however 2 main differences between Execucomp's CUSIP and IRRC's CUSIP and CN6:
1. While Execucomp uses 8-digit CUSIP, both IRRC datasets have 6-digit CUSIPs. Therefore, you need to use a SAS function like "substr" to take the first 6-digit of Execucomp CUSIP before merging it to IRRC data. ex: cusip6 = substr(CUSIP,1,6);
2. While header convention reflect "most recent" value of an identifier variables, it is dependent on the date of update of each dataset. Therefore, for CUSIPs that change in between the time that both databases are updated, you might find some discrepancy. To overcome this issue, we recommend that you make use of the CRSP name files (ex: stocknames), that contains all historical CUSIPs that a company has had.

Also, good to know:
Best Identifier to Use in RiskMetrics Directors- Changes to Identifier between Legacy and Current Files
1. The primary identifier in the current dataset is year-ticker-director_detail_id. Ticker is better populated than cusip in earlier years, but should be about the same in the latest years. For the legacy directors, director_detail_id was in use for some years and legacy_director_id for others.
2. Cusips in the legacy file are "header". With each update, WRDS modified all previous cusips for a company to match the latest. Although it may help in some cases, it may hurt in others and it is not quite the way the data was delivered. Starting with the new directors file, Cusips appear in the file as they were delivered (effectively making them historical going forward). Cusips in the legacy data were also uniformly truncated to 6 digits for consistency. The new file reports them as they are delivered, typically (but not always) 9 digits.
3. Tickers were not changed over time and appear as they were delivered. One example is legacy company id (legacy_pps_id) 25 has tickers ASN and IKN.
4. Each time IRRC - ISS - Riskmetrics was acquired, new identification methods were introduced. This is why you see legacy company and director IDs. Neither is more correct, we recommend choosing the most populated one for the years in which you are working.
5. Constructing a complete time series in the directors data is not easy. There is no single variable that is populated for all companies and all years.
6. Be very careful when combining the legacy data (through 2006) and the current data (from 2007). They were separated because the collection methods and meaning of some variables changed.

==Paper Discussion==

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

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?

==Governance_Final Table (Amir)==
Data: ISS (formerly RiskMetrics) - Governance Data Request 2007-2015
Text file is saved in:
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Governance\RiskMetrics-0b578b37fbb59afa.txt

Good to know:
Calculating the Gindex in RiskMetrics after 2007
Riskmetrics made significant changes to their data sources and methodology starting in 2007. As a result, many of the inputs needed to calculate the Gindex are no longer available. You can check the website of or contact ...

Best Identifier to Use in RiskMetrics Directors- Changes to Identifier between Legacy and Current Files
1. The primary identifier in the current dataset is year-ticker-director_detail_id. Ticker is better populated than cusip in earlier years, but should be about the same in the latest years. For the legacy directors, director_detail_id was in use for some years and legacy_director_id for others.
2. Cusips in the legacy file are "header". With each update, WRDS modified all previous cusips for a company to match the latest. Although it may help in some cases, it may hurt in others and it is not quite the way the data was delivered. Starting with the new directors file, Cusips appear in the file as they were delivered (effectively making them historical going forward). Cusips in the legacy data were also uniformly truncated to 6 digits for consistency. The new file reports them as they are delivered, typically (but not always) 9 digits.
3. Tickers were not changed over time and appear as they were delivered. One example is legacy company id (legacy_pps_id) 25 has tickers ASN and IKN.
4. Each time IRRC - ISS - Riskmetrics was acquired, new identification methods were introduced. This is why you see legacy company and director IDs. Neither is more correct, we recommend choosing the most populated one for the years in which you are working.
5. Constructing a complete time series in the directors data is not easy. There is no single variable that is populated for all companies and all years.
6. Be very careful when combining the legacy data (through 2006) and the current data (from 2007). They were separated because the collection methods and meaning of some variables changed.

==Paper Discussion==

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

==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?

==Governance_Final Table (Amir)==
Data: ISS (formerly RiskMetrics) - Governance Data Request 2007-2015
Text file is saved in:
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Governance\RiskMetrics-0b578b37fbb59afa.txt

Good to know:
Calculating the Gindex in RiskMetrics after 2007
Riskmetrics made significant changes to their data sources and methodology starting in 2007. As a result, many of the inputs needed to calculate the Gindex are no longer available. You can check the website of or contact ...

Best Identifier to Use in RiskMetrics Directors- Changes to Identifier between Legacy and Current Files
1. The primary identifier in the current dataset is year-ticker-director_detail_id. Ticker is better populated than cusip in earlier years, but should be about the same in the latest years. For the legacy directors, director_detail_id was in use for some years and legacy_director_id for others.
2. Cusips in the legacy file are "header". With each update, WRDS modified all previous cusips for a company to match the latest. Although it may help in some cases, it may hurt in others and it is not quite the way the data was delivered. Starting with the new directors file, Cusips appear in the file as they were delivered (effectively making them historical going forward). Cusips in the legacy data were also uniformly truncated to 6 digits for consistency. The new file reports them as they are delivered, typically (but not always) 9 digits.
3. Tickers were not changed over time and appear as they were delivered. One example is legacy company id (legacy_pps_id) 25 has tickers ASN and IKN.
4. Each time IRRC - ISS - Riskmetrics was acquired, new identification methods were introduced. This is why you see legacy company and director IDs. Neither is more correct, we recommend choosing the most populated one for the years in which you are working.
5. Constructing a complete time series in the directors data is not easy. There is no single variable that is populated for all companies and all years.
6. Be very careful when combining the legacy data (through 2006) and the current data (from 2007). They were separated because the collection methods and meaning of some variables changed.

==Paper Discussion==

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

A copy of the normalizer is save here

Follow these steps:
# Activate the Komodo license.
# Open Komodo IDE 9, there should be a shortcut on your desktop
# Drag and drop NormalizeFixedWidth.pl in Komdo
# Click on the start or continue debugging
# Type : -file=SDC_MA_Oct10v4.txt in Script Arguments textbox.
# Click on OK
# Enter the number of last line of the header and press return. This should be the line immediately followed by the first row of data.

===SDC Table with pairs of unique CUSIP and Announcement dates(Jake)===

acq_cusip | acq_prnt_cusip | acq_ultimate_cusip

Determine which of the cusips has the best coverage by checking
for null values. All cusip variables have equal coverage.
Picking acq_cusip.

Create a table with unique cusip (only first 6 digits) and announcement date values.

{{AcademicPaper
|Title=Winner's Curse in Acquisitions (Academic Paper)
|Author=Ed Egan, Jim Brander
|RAs=Amir Kazempour, Will Cleland, Jake Silberman

==WHAT MATTERS==
Ed - Review code for distance and triple join

Amir - Literature review of Governance measures - Tell Will and Jake what to pull

Will - Continue cleaning, run SDCv2 and SDCBase through the previous code and work on triple join

Jake - Continue VC Fixed Effect measure

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

==Three Big Pulls==

===SDC Mergers & Acquisitions===

Add the following (A=L+E) ---- DONE
TargetTotalAssets real, TASS: Taget Financials: Total Assets
TargetTotalLiabilities real, TLIA: Total Liabilities Last Twelve Months ($ Mil)

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) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);
===CRSP2 Variable Issues (Jake)===

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

==Three Big Pulls==

===SDC Mergers & Acquisitions===

Add the following (A=L+E) ---- DONE
TargetTotalAssets real, TASS: Taget Financials: Total Assets
TargetTotalLiabilities real, TLIA: Total Liabilities Last Twelve Months ($ Mil)

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) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

==Three Big Pulls==

Open the GovernanceVARS.txt

These are
*staggered boards

*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.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Tobin's Q: The ratio of market-to-book value of assets. This would be MKVALT/ AT in the SDC table.

Turnover: AVG( # shares traded each month / # shares outstanding.

VC Fixed Effect: Is the target VC backed or not? Where could we find the VC data.

Open the GovernanceVARS.txt

These are
*staggered boards

*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.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

A copy of the normalizer is save here
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\NormalizeFixedWidth.pl

Follow these steps:
# Activate the Komodo license.
# Open Komodo IDE 9, there should be a shortcut on your desktop
# Drag and drop NormalizeFixedWidth.pl in Komdo
# Click on the start or continue debugging
# Type : -file=SDC_MA_Oct10v4.txt in Script Arguments textbox.
# Click on OK
# Enter the number of last line of the header and press return. This should be the line immediately followed by the first row of data.

Determine which of the cusips has the best coverage by checking
for null values. All cusip variables have equal coverage.
Picking acq_cusip.

Create a table with unique cusip (only first 6 digits) and announcement date values.

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

==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.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

A copy of the normalizer is save here
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\NormalizeFixedWidth.pl

Follow these steps:
# Activate the Komodo license.
# Open Komodo IDE 9, there should be a shortcut on your desktop
# Drag and drop NormalizeFixedWidth.pl in Komdo
# Click on the start or continue debugging
# Type : -file=SDC_MA_Oct10v4.txt in Script Arguments textbox.
# Click on OK
# Enter the number of last line of the header and press return. This should be the line immediately followed by the first row of data.

Boom - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\SDC_TABLE. Final variable in table SDCno_boom.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

Private Financial Data - Look at [https://wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/query_forms/variable_documentation.cfm?vendorCode=CRSP&libraryCode=crspa&fileCode=ccmfunda&id=bspr]. The variables takes value 1 when the balance sheet is not publicly available.

Percent Cash - Possibly this is going to be the PCT_CASH variable in SDC. This should be the PC_CASH field in the SDC table.

Previous Acquisitions - The number of previous acquisitions (from 1985 on) of privately-held firms completed by the acquirer prior to its announcement of the acquisition.

Percent Cash

==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.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

Determine which of the cusips has the best coverage by checking
for null values. All cusip variables have equal coverage.
Picking acq_cusip.

Create a table with unique cusip (only first 6 digits) and announcement date values.

Competition - Created. Code in E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SQL\CRSP_TABLE. Final variable in table competition final.

IT Fixed Effect - Create an indicator variable taking the value one if the target has a NAICS code listed on page 31 of the article.

Idiosyncratic Volatility - RMSE, it should already be up on the database.

Industry Fixed Effect - Created. Jake, please update this.

Momentum - To control for systematic variations in return over time. The summation of the NYSE-Nasdaq-AMEX composite market return (as
calculated by CRSP) over the event window

*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.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

Determine which of the cusips has the best coverage by checking
for null values. All cusip variables have equal coverage.
Picking acq_cusip.

Create a table with unique cusip (only first 6 digits) and announcement date values.

Open the GovernanceVARS.txt

These are
*staggered boards

*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.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

A copy of the normalizer is save here

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.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

A copy of the normalizer is save here

Fox (2008) - An Empirical Repeated Matching Game Applied to Market

2016-10-24T15:26:33Z

Amirkp: /* Notes */

== Notes ==
* The closeness in terms of observables of an agent's old and new match partners can tell us a lot about the unobservables governing switching.
* The hypothesis is that firms closer to other firms in characteristic space operate in thicker labor markets which will encourage workers to switch, other factors held constant. After estimating the model's parameters, he examines to what extent workers will move to open positions in a brand new firm. To this end, compute the equilibrium to a labor market with the entrant firm, and examine how many of its jobs are likely to be filled.
* Outline of the model: Each time period, a matching market clears so that all agents are matched. Prices are chosen to that every period supply equals demand at all pairs of worker and firm states. Then all agents state variables evolve and during the next period another matching game is held.

Fox Hsu Yang (2015) - Unobserverd Heterogeneity in Matching Games with an Application to Venture Capital

Amirkp: /* Random notes */

== Random notes ==
* If matching based on observed characteristics is found to be important, it is a reasonable conjecture that matching based on unobserved characteristics is also important.
* This paper investigates what data on the sorting patterns between agents can tell us about the distributions of unobserved agent characteristics relevant for sorting.
* We use data on many markets with finite numbers of players and different realizations of observables and unobservables in each market.
* We require at least one continuous, observable per match or per agent.
* In the baseline transferable utility matching game, the primitive that governs sorting is the matrix that collects the production values for each potential match in a matching market. The production level of each match is additively separable in observable and unobservable terms.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

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.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Determine which of the cusips has the best coverage by checking
for null values. All cusip variables have equal coverage.
Picking acq_cusip.

Create a table with unique cusip (only first 6 digits) and announcement date values.

SELECT LEFT(acq_cusip, 6) AS acq_cusip, date_announced INTO cusip_announcedate FROM sdc GROUP BY

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.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

A copy of the normalizer is save here
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\NormalizeFixedWidth.pl

Follow these steps:
# Activate the Komodo license.
# Open Komodo IDE 9, there should be a shortcut on your desktop
# Drag and drop NormalizeFixedWidth.pl in Komdo
# Click on the start or continue debugging
# Type : -file=SDC_MA_Oct10v4.txt in Script Arguments textbox.
# Click on OK
# Enter the number of last line of the header and press return. This should be the line immediately followed by the first row of data.

==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.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

A copy of the normalizer is save here
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\NormalizeFixedWidth.pl

Follow these steps:
# Activate the Komodo license.
# Open Komodo IDE 9, there should be a shortcut on your desktop
# Drag and drop NormalizeFixedWidth.pl in Komdo
# Click on the start or continue debugging
# Type : -file=SDC_MA_Oct10v4.txt in Script Arguments textbox.
# Click on OK
# Enter the number of last line of the header and press return. This should be the line immediately followed by the first row of data.

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) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

A copy of the normalizer is save here
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\NormalizeFixedWidth.pl

Follow these steps:
# Activate the Komodo license.
# Open Komodo IDE 9, there should be a shortcut on your desktop
# Drag and drop NormalizeFixedWidth.pl in Komdo
# Click on the start or continue debugging
# Type : -file=SDC_MA_Oct10v4.txt in Script Arguments textbox.
# Click on OK
# Enter the number of last line of the header and press return. This should be the line immediately followed by the first row of data.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

A copy of the normalizer is save here
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\NormalizeFixedWidth.pl

Follow these steps:
# Activate the Komodo license.
# Open Komodo IDE 9, there should be a shortcut on your desktop
# Drag and drop NormalizeFixedWidth.pl in Komdo
# Click on the start or continue debugging
# Type : -file=SDC_MA_Oct10v4.txt in Script Arguments textbox.
# Click on OK
# Enter the number of last line of the header and press return. This should be the line immediately followed by the first row of data.

==Importing the CRSP data into the `winner' database (Amir) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

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
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

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-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV
-- COPY 64614281

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
CREATE INDEX CUSIPIndex
ON crspfinal(CUSIP);

We encountered an issue with the variable Purpose Code in our most recent
SDC pull. Purpose Code can carry multiple values, so we had extra lines
with blanks for every value other than Purpose Code. Rather than
doing another SDC pull, we used the following regular expressions to
solve:

Find : ^[\s}.*
Replace :

Directly below is the original SDC file prior to our fix
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\SDC_MA_Oct10v4 -raw

Directly below is the SDC file post-fix

11332 rows were removed as a result of our regular expression use.

=== Normalizing SDC data ===
Make sure that the first line of the data file starts with the column names and column name are not preceded by empty lines. Also, remove the summary/report lines at the bottom of the text file.

A copy of the normalizer is save here
E:\McNair\Projects\Winner's Curse\Data\NormalizeFixedWidth.pl

Follow these steps:
# Activate the Komodo license.
# Open Komodo IDE 9, there should be a shortcut on your desktop
# Drag and drop NormalizeFixedWidth.pl in Komdo
# Click on the start or continue debugging
# Type : -file=SDC_MA_Oct10v4.txt in Script Arguments textbox.
# Click on OK
# Enter the number of last line of the header and press return. This should be the line immediately followed by the first row of data.

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) ==
Two important files:
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_NOTES
Project --> Winner's Curse --> Data --> SQL --> CRSP_CODES

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

CREATE TABLE CRSP (
PermNo int,
date date,
EXcode int,
SIC int,
NCUSIP varchar(10),
Ticker varchar(10),

PrimEx varchar(1),
PERMCO int,
CUSIP varchar(12),
Price real,
VOL int,

ShOut int,
trade int,
EQRET real,
VRET real
);

We have unexpected data types in few columns. We'll first start by copying data into a table named CRSPtmp with varchar type for most of the fields.

CREATE TABLE CRSPtmp (
PermNo varchar(10),

);

\COPY crsptmp FROM '/bulk/WinnersCurse/CRSP-oct10.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS '' CSV

Next, to create an index on CUSIP:
