cglobal caplq large

Using Compustat Global data, study the effect of events on international stocks by either uploading your own “events� file or obtaining events from Capital IQ’s Key Development database. Capital IQ’s Key Development database allows you to select from hundreds of international corporate events (e.g. M&A, bankruptcy) included in the KeyDev database to conduct event studies beyond the boundaries of North American stock markets.


Uploading your own events requires subscriptions to Compustat Global; selecting events from Capital IQ requires subscriptions to Compustat Global and Capital IQ’s Key Development database.
