WRDS Research Webinar Series – Flat File Format 2.0 (CIZ)

We are delighted to invite Ph.D. students, faculty members, and friends to a WRDS webinar on the newly released CRSP CIZ (Version 2) data format. As of December 2024, CRSP has fully retired the SIZ (Version 1) structure, making this transition essential for anyone working with CRSP equities data. The session will address some of the common questions researchers have raised during the transition, on both data structure and data value comparison.
