Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dinh Huy Vu" data-source="post: 136207" data-attributes="member: 26888">Hi everybody,I am trying to replicate an empirical paper  about CDS and am looking for data. I need all publicly traded US Companies for which there are 5y-CDS-data (only senior debt), that means I need the Company name, an identifier: CUSIP 6 (and 8 if possible, otherwise I found a page where to convert), 5y-CDS-Ticker (which I can use to get the daily mid-spreads), (S&P) Rating, the SIC-Code and the GVKEY.=> from 1 January 2003 - latest possible date (I read that Reuters have problems to provide CDS-Data after July 2010...)I have access to Datastream and Bloomberg (although I have never worked with Datastream before...)[I need this information to match it with further data, my control variables: Book Value of Debt, Market Value of Equity, 1y-treasury Bill, 10y-treasury Bill, daily holding period stock returns, number of outstanding shares, CRSP equally-weighted index returns.]I guess it will turn out around 600-700 firms...thank you very much!edit:as my university does NOT have a CMA license, I cannot obtain CDS Data. Is there anyone who could help me with that? I need these data for all U.S. Companies... :/thank you</blockquote>
