| The Fifth New York Fed/NYU Stern Conference on Financial Intermediation A conference jointly sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Salomon Center at New York University's Leonard N.

| Banking Research Datasets The Federal Reserve Bank of New York would like to announce the publication of a historical mapping between CRSP PERMCO (R) and the regulatory entity code for banks and bank holding companies. This data set is available for download free of charge for public use. In lieu of using this link, researchers are typically forced to hand-match market data to regulatory data on the basis of institution name. Unfortunately, this process is time-consuming and mistake-prone. This data set is provided as a public service in order to reduce the time costs of using market data in banking research and to make it easier for researchers to replicate existing research. |
