You can modify the codes as you wish.

How to use it.

1. Make sure you copy them to the c:temp, or you can use other folder and please make sure you change all the c:test to you folder in this code

2. Download the data from Thomson One Financial database using the Excel Add-in, say you save it as accounting.xls;

3. Copy the header from the worksheet in the test.xls inside the zip file, replace the header information in the accounting.xls;

the current header information is:
Entity Name: code Currency: Y1999 Y2000 Y2001 Y2002 Y2003 Y2004 Y2005 Y2006
Please note that the current code suports year from 1999 to 2006 only, if you want to extend it, please add Y1998 etc. in the front, and Y2007 in the end. And add these information
in the %Transpose macro

4. Run the codes.
a. These two commands import and transpose them into the Panel Data format
%create_acc_data(var=Sales,data=test.Sales);
%create_acc_data(var=TotalAssets,data=test.TotalAssets);
b. Merge the two dataset;
%merge_datax(data1=test.TotalAssets,data2=test.Sales,sort_ids=code cyear,output=test.AccData);
c. Remove the raw datasets
%drop_table(tablename=test.Sales);
%drop_table(tablename=test.TotalAssets);

Corporate Governance Research Methodology

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:00:55 GMT

Cited from http://www.survey-partner.co.uk/spsite/index.php/Goverannce/Governance-Data/Corporate-Governance-Research-Methodology.html

Step 1:

Literature Review: review the relevant literature in the area that you are interested in. Determines the model that you are going to use. And then identify the variables that you are going to use. Relevant variables include:

Board Size

The number of directors serving on the company's board at the beginning of the financial year

Committee Size

The number of directors serving on the company's committee (audit, compensation, nomination, governance) at the beginning of the financial year

Board Independence

The percentage of independent directors on the company's board at the beginning of the financial year

Committee Independence

The percentage of independent directors on the company's committee (audit, compensation, nomination, governance) at the beginning of the financial year

Board Meetings

The number of board meetings held at the end of the financial year

Committee Meetings

The number of committee meetings held at the end of the financial year

CEO Duality

CEO of the company who also serves as the chairman of the board

Inside Director Ownership

Total percentage of shareholdings of inside and affiliate directors serving on the board

Outside Director Ownership

Total percentage of shareholdings of independent directors serving on the board

etc.

Step 2

Collecting data.

At this stage, use the existing data set or collect it yourself.

A) If you want to use the existing data set, you can use the data from the Corporate Library (available in the WRDS, U.S. companies).

B) if you want to collect the new data set for your research, you can use the data collection system provided by Survey Partner (www.survey-partner.co.uk or www.survey-partner.com).

The first choice reduce your time in collecting and cleaning your data, but it might be not affordable for individual researchers.

The second choice would cost you some time but it is a cheaper choice. It may cost you 3-month-time to collect about 5-6 years data for 300 companies (See here as well: Link).

Step 3

Analyzing the model you specified in Step 1, and revise them if necessary. At this stage, you may need to control for the following sensitivities:

A) Endogeneity

B) Firm and time effects if you use panel data

C) Other sensitivities may incur in your model.

Step 4

Revise your hypotheses, discover the reasons for the unexpected outcomes and write up your reports.

Revising the hypotheses always happen since there would be unexpected outcomes after you have controlled for different factors. The results may not support your hypothesis and you have to discover the reason behind this from a lot of sources other than academic journals.
