Where can I get historical economic data on interest rates and the exchange rate for China

I've checked the People's Bank of China, The World Bank, International Monetary Fund and some others. I have been able to find interest rate and exchange rate data for the US, and UK in OECD, is there a similar website for China/BRICS

Thanks

Click the "download" link and it'll give you the excel data.

All the useful economic stats about the PRC you could ever want. Does not generally include data from the current year, though there are some exceptions, and it goes REALLY far back, so it's great for academic research.

www.google.com

Though I admit that I knew the first two sites offhand, this "Google" website may come in handy later on down the line for you lol...

... unless you're in China. In that case, my bad lol.

in it 2 win it
 

Quandl is a great resource but the data isn't always accurate (at least in the case of EoD OHLC futures).

I recently had acquire nominal interest rate data and I have decided to proceed with using swap rate differentials as a proxy.

Oanda is decent for fx data, but the best free resource that I'm aware of is FRED if your looking for long term daily closing prices.

You need to get on a Bloomberg.

You can find a few of the fundamentals on finviz.com. Go to screener/ fundamentals

You can find the capex, etc #s by accessing the financial statements. Pain in the a$$ but it is free. Calculating ratios will be even more frustrating. Seriously, just find someone who has access to Bloomberg or Reuters.

Alright, I'll check those out. Thanks for the help.

 

I doubt a terminal will have data back that far. Not really sure what the best way is to pull that-maybe speak to IR for the companies although that will be tedious and tiresome

I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold. I'll be fine once I get it
 

thanks so much for the reply!

i was thinking of historical data that can be downloaded into .txt or .csv files to be used for programming environments other than Excel.

Are there other suggestions other than Bloomberg and Excel Add-in

Thanks!

 

Could you not just convert the excel to a csv if you really wanted to?

This is a terrible idea. The skewness of the data will get you. It's not terrible but terribly difficult to say the least. Don't do something that a Prof wouldn't do himself.

However, if you are going to continue down with this idea I would make it try to fit some economic framework. Perhaps an economic model of some form that's in the literature. This way it can be a literature review with just a hint of statistical work of your own... much better than reinventing the wheel.

 

Yahoo only provides current day bid ask data I haven't found a way of finding historical data. G.M. Trevelyan I am sort of aware how difficult it is going to be and to be honest I would do something that's not as difficult however I am heavily invested in the topic of short sale restrictions as I have already done a good chunk of writing. Excuse me for sounding stupid but I haven't in my reading come across using economic models, most studies have been found doing OLS regression/GARCH models/the method I was going to use.

The moment he realizes he might try to be biting off more he can chew

Cheers again.

 

Does your school have access to a Bloomberg terminal? If you don't, the MBA program should and they might let you use it. I bet it is in the B-School library (or at least that is what it is where I go).

"They are all former investment bankers that were laid off in the economic collapse that Nancy Pelosi caused. They have no marketable skills, but by God they work hard."
 

Sadly I do not believe they do. I am from a UK university and so my facilities might not be the best. If I cant find bid-ask prices then I wont be able to check the effect on liquidity. I am thinking now of maybe completely changing it to a comparison of stocks that are banned from shorting but have options versus stocks that are banned without options versus stocks that are not banned.

and see how they vary in performance....or something along those lines.
