"Wharton's FDIC Research Database"
Summary: Part of the Center's ongoing mission is to build an Information Repository. In this regard, Wharton has made available an important resource to scholars and students of banking the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) Research Database. This database is used by the FDIC's Division of Research and Statistics for policy analysis as well as producing quarterly statistics for The FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile and Graph Book. It is also used to compile statistics for the Historical Statistics on Banking, a series of tables and graphs that are available through Wharton via FTP or Gopher.
Wharton's Research Database contains financial data and history of all entities filing the Report of Condition and Income (Call Report) and most savings institutions filing the OTS Thrift Financial Report (TFR). These entities include commercial banks, savings banks or savings and loans. The author has compiled a valuable reference including sample call reports and schedules, indexes and keys to database terminology.
The data are available quarterly to researchers and students from December 1984 to June 1995 in SAS format. The Center can provide access and counsel on use of the data.
