Data Center
Swedish House of Finance has a national finance data center, whose databases are available to the academic community and distributed through this web based platform.
Modern financial research is crucially reliant on the availability of high quality data suitable for research purposes. Creating and maintaining these data bases is very expensive and data for commercial use is a highly priced commodity. In addition, the duplication of data bases at various research institutions increases the total data base costs substantially.
The purpose of this data base effort is to enable access to expensive commercial data sets at a very low cost, create and maintain supply of commercially not available data sets and improve quality of the data sets according to the preferences of the academic community.
Our intention is to continuously grow the number of available data sets and improve the functionality and hopefully enable truly ground-breaking research.
