CRSPSift, CRSP’s Securities Information Filtering Tool, lets you extract data from your Stock & Index, CRSP/ Compustat Merged, US Treasury, and Mutual Fund databases. In addition to an updated interface, CRSPSift offers many features designed to make accessing CRSP databases easier. Some of these features include:
Data Environments: Create a data environment for each set of data you use. To use a different data set, simply select its environment from a menu and rerun your query.
Multiple Queries: Edit and run up to ten queries simultaneously.
Direct Edit: Type or paste an existing request file from a command-line utility into a window and then save it as a CRSPSift query. CRSPSift automatically updates its graphical interface to reflect your query options.
Output Layout Preview: TsQuery features an animated report preview that suggests how your output will look. This saves you the time of running a query multiple times to find the right format.
Company Selection: A company lookup utility. Search and sort results by Company Name, PERMNO, ticker symbol, or other identifier.
Filtering Options: A point-and-click interface to simplify filtering query results by exchange, share type, NASDAQ Market Tiers, portfolio assignments, SIC Code, or group membership.
