WRDS Day Pass Now Available

Wharton Research Data Services or WRDS is a suite of data sources that are licensed by the Booth School of Business. This includes stock price data from the Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) and financial data from COMPUSTAT. These have previously only been available to students in selected programs, but we have worked with Booth to open up the WRDS Access Pass program. This allows current students and faculty outside of Booth to get short-term access to these data sets for research.

You must register using your UChicago email address and agree to adhere to the WRDS Terms and Conditions. Request an Access Pass below.
