Nielsen Retail Scanner Data, which contain prices and revenues from retail chains across the US. Prior research has used this data to study the product market impacts of private equity (Fracassi et al., 2022), credit market disruption (Granja and Moreira, 2022; Kabir, 2022), common ownership (Aslan, 2023), and taxation (Baker et al., 2023). We extract prices and revenues at the weekly frequency and at a level as fine as each store and each Universal Product Code (UPC), which is a 12-digit barcode that identifies a unique traded item.

Voluntary Registry Offsets Database (UC Berkeley)
Voluntary Registry Offsets Database (UC Berkeley)
The database, developed by the Berkeley Carbon Trading Project, contains all carbon offset projects, credit issuances, and credit retirements listed globally by four major voluntary offset project registries—American Carbon Registry (ACR), Climate Action Reserve (CAR), Gold Standard, and Verra (VCS). These four registries generate almost all of the world's voluntary market offsets and also include credits eligible for use under the California / Quebec linked cap-and-trade programs and Washington's cap-and-invest program.
This database is meant to increase the transparency of the carbon offset market, providing researchers and offset buyers with the ability to better see offset credits and projects in a single database. Dynamic charts and tools allow users to see trends over time, and explore the projects and credits on the market by location, type, registry, etc.

NGO data SigWatch
"We obtain data on NGOs’ E&S-washing allegations from SigWatch, a European data analytics firm specializing in monitoring and analyzing NGO activism campaigns. SigWatch has built a unique dataset that covers about 11,000 activist groups worldwide in over 75,000 campaigns involving over 20,000 target firms since 2011. The data are sourced from a variety of public sources, including NGO websites, their press releases, and research reports. For each NGO campaign, the information that SigWatch provides includes characteristics of the NGO and the firm that is targeted, a summary of the NGO’s allegations against the firm, and web links to the source documents. The clients of SigWatch include institutional investors interested in assessing their (or their portfolio firms’) reputation risks related to NGO campaigns, but also audit and consulting firms as well as the OECD and academics."

CEO Turnover/Executive turnover
Tainted CEO (Baer Jingjing Zhang TAR 2023)
We identify firms subject to securities class action lawsuits filed over the 2002–2017 period. To reduce the incidence
of frivolous cases of alleged fraud, following Dyck et al. (2010), we limit the sample to settled lawsuits. We also require nonmissing settling defendant information, yielding a sample of 1,623 lawsuits at 1,444 firms. Next, we match CEOs of public firms in BoardEx with lawsuit defendants using individual name and case period. For CEOs named in multiple cases over our sample period, we keep the lawsuit with the earliest filing date. Our initial sample consists of 1,282 CEOs named in 1,178 lawsuits at 1,125 firms.
CEO Pilot
We then hand collect data to identify pilot and nonpilot CEOs based on airmen certificate records.

Prosocial CEO
Specifically, we match the names of CEOs’ off-the-job organizations with organizations classified as charitable by the IRS.16 If a CEO has been involved with at least one charitable organization, we consider him or her to be prosocial, for whom an indicator variable, Charity, equals one. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11142-023-09761-0

Government-appointed Monitors
We study a relatively new tool at the disposal of regulators in preventing corporate misconduct: a government-appointed, on-site corporate compliance monitor, also referred to as the “Corporate Monitor.” Monitors areappointed at large corporations that have already been exposed for wrong-doing, with the aim of reforming the firm and preventing further misconduct. However, given their relative novelty, less is known about their roleor effectiveness. In this paper, we examine whether the appointment of aCorporate Monitor reduces the incidence of repeat misconduct.

The NBER Public Use Data Archive is an eclectic mix of public-use economic, demographic, and enterprise data obtained over the years to satisfy the specific requests of NBER-affiliated researchers for particular projects. Files here are often in more convenient formats than the original data source. However, files that receive updates at the source may not be updated here. The Public Use Data archive also serves as a repository of the outputs, be they data or code, of NBER projects that, when allowed by the sources, are intended for wider use or replication efforts.

Analyst locations
Our data on financial analyst locations comes from historical filings of the Uniform Application for Securities Industry Registration or Transfer (Form U4), which provides detailed accounts of analyst registrations and work histories including the street address of office location. Form U4 is filed by an employer when the analyst joins the firm and must be updated upon material changes, such as changing jobs. The Form U4 data are aggregated in a database called the Central Registration Depository (CRD), which is jointly operated by FINRA and state securities regulators. We obtain Form U4 data from a series of Freedom of Information Act requests to state regulators. Our universe of financial analysts consists of those registered in any of the states that respond to our requests during some point of their career. Analysts may register in multiple states, so we have data for many analysts in the states that do not supply information.
Parking lot data
To measure local firm performance, we use satellite imagery of daily parking lot car counts for major U.S. retail firms.We obtain data on parking lot car counts from Orbital Insight, a leading image processing company that uses machine learning to convert satellite images into quantitative data.6 The data include the company name and ticker, a unique identifier for each store location, the latitude and longitude of the store, the date and time the image was taken, and a count of the number of cars in the parking lot when the image was taken. Orbital Insight provides a normalized measure based on the raw car count data that accounts for the day of the week, time of day the satellite image is taken, and the maximum number of cars a parking lot can likely hold. This normalization is based on empirically validated predictable patterns in daily retail traffic.7 Similarly, Orbital Insight’s machine vision technology can detect and account for weather anomalies like cloud coverage. Our sample for daily car counts begins in January 2009 and ends in December 2015.
