Research, IP, and equities – Oh my! | Ubpost News: "A data analyst feels at odds without data. I’m glad I came to Mongolia to write, rather than as a data analyst.
Journalistic vacation aside, my primary career is, as a decision scientist, focusing on “pure” academic research. In the process, I “crunch” a lot of data – numbers and words. I’ve spent the last 18 years as a data analyst/programmer supporting research in health and mental health care, policy, business, economics, and finance. I’ve worked extensively with patenting data and other specialty business research databases such as those provided by the Center for Research in Security Prices and Compustat, as well as with using tools such as those for event studies (notably Eventus). All of these data sources are offered comprehensively through the Wharton Research Data Services (wrds-web.wharton.upenn.edu/wrds/about/WRDS FAQs.cfm) It wasn’t always that way – used to be a do-it-yourself each-analyst-for-him-or-herself deal. Believe me, the new way saves a lot of time and money in conducting research. By the way, the WRDS subscriber map shows none in Mongolia, but plenty in Asia."
