Abstract
The Bankscope dataset is a popular source of bank balance sheet
informations among banking economists, which covers the last 20 years
for more than 30 000 worldwide banks. This technical paper intends
to provide the critical issues one has to keep in mind as well as the
basic arrangements which have to be undertaken if one intends to use
this dataset. To that extent, we propose some straightforward ways
to deal with data comparability, consolidation, duplication of assets or
mergers, and provide Stata codes to deal with it.
Keywords : Bankscope dataset, joint work with Stata, duplicates, consolidation, mergers, unbalanced, comparability.
We accessed the dataset via the license granted to Banque de France agents. This is
a preliminary version which should be enriched or modified further. We thank Alessandro Barattieri and Claire Celerier for valuable discussion that helped us to improve this
document. Any comments are warmly welcome. If you found this material useful, please
consider including it in your reference list.

Introduction
After facing several issues while handling the Bankscope dataset, we decided
to share our experience. Bankscope is a database reporting balance sheet
statements of more than 30 000 worldwide financial institutions which is
provided by Bureau van Dijk. We intend to provide the basic arrangement
that need to be completed before actually starting using your Bankscope
dataset; failing to do so may result in wrong outcomes and raise unnecessary
criticism on behalf of your fellow students/researchers. The codes provided
here can be run directly using Stata. We hope that you will find this memo
useful, else we apologize in advance for wasting your time. Nonetheless, keep
in mind that Bankscope is likely to introduce changes in each new releases
of the database (change in variables name as well as changes in the content
of variables) so that this technical document should be viewed as a guide
for exploring Bankscope by yourself. We only shed light on the most crucial
issues you are likely to face.
The following lines of code are to be run in Stata and suit perfectly the
Bankscope dataset as obtained through the DVD provided by the Bureau
van Dijk. Else handling data downloaded from the website1 may require to
adjust the lines of code provided here, but one has to keep those steps in
mind even if some of them may be tackled directly via the on-line interface.
What you may not know about Stata
2.1
How to load a dataset easily?
If you ever tried to load large datasets, you may have reached several times
the limit of your computers power... or you thought that was it, while you
just did not provide the maximum space possible to your Stata program2 .
The trick consists in increasing your memory requests in relatively small
increments. So try something like this loop which looks for the maximum
level of memory possible ranging from 1000m to 1500m :
1
2
3
4
5
6
set more off

set maxvar 10000
set matsize 3000
forvalue i=1000(1)1500 {
set mem `i'm, permanent
}

I the latest version of Stata (starting with Stata 12), memory adjustments are performed on the fly automatically.

2.2
How to harmonize paths towards other do-files/datasets?
When working on several computers or in collaboration, it is always painful

to readjust the different file paths to suit your own folders. You should
rather write a do-file that easily adjusts and only requires the main paths
to be changed. We propose here three different solutions.
First you can write the paths in the beginning of your do-file and concatenate them so that only one part of the path, say the shared drive, has
to be adjusted.
Second you can choose to put all the paths you need in a separate do-file
which you would invoke at the beginning of every other do-file. If you choose
to define a path in a global macro (which you then call with the $ symbol),
the information will remain in all the subsequent do-files. For instance you
can write in the header of your main do-file :
7
8
9
10
//Define the path to the driver

global MainPath = "C:\Users\Thibaut\Documents"
//Use the paths
do "$MainPath\Paths"
It calls the do-file Paths.do which defines the paths. The path to the
driver, MainPath, has already been defined in a global macro in the main
do-file, while the specific paths which are created in Paths.do will still apply
to the parent do-file since they are writen as global macros.
11
12
13
14
//Define the paths

global PathDataset = "$MainPath\Data"
global PathOutput = "$MainPath\LogFiles"
global PathDoFiles = "$MainPath\DoFiles"
Third if you prefer to define local variables, for instance because your
macros will not be constant throughout your work since you use many dofiles, you can choose to put all the file paths you need in the first do-file and
pass them as argument to other do-files if need be; this looks just more like
macros you can write with other languages/softwares.
For instance, if you want to launch a do-file called ConstructDataset.do
which is located in a specific folder \DoFiles, and you need to pass to this
do-file :
1. the path for the folder where to write the output \LogFiles
2. the path for the folder where you stored your data \Data
3. some numerical value, e.g. for a threshold to be used uniformly in you
dataset.
4
Then write the following code in a "Master" Do-File:

15
16
17
18
19
//Create the paths

global MainPath = "C:\Users\Thibaut\Documents"
local PathDataset = "$MainPath\Data"
local PathOutput = "$MainPath\LogFiles"
local PathDoFiles = "$MainPath\DoFiles"
20
21
22
23
24
25
//Launch the do-file

local File = "ConstructDataset.do"
local FullPath "`PathDoFiles'\ConstructDataset.do"
display "`FullPath'"
do "`FullPath'" "`PathDataset'" "`PathOutput'" 300, nostop
The last line calls the do-file ConstructDataset.do in the folder you
specified, assigns the three arguments to be passed to it, and executes it
without stopping for errors (the nostop option).
In your do-file ConstructDataset.do, write now:
26
set more off
27
28
29
30
31
32
33
//Name of the path passed to the .do file in macro `1'

local PathDataset = "`1'"
//Name of the path passed to the .do file in macro `2'
local PathOutput = "`2'"
//Numerical threshold passed to the .do file in macro `3'
local Threshold = "`3'"
34
35
36
37
38
39
//Load the dataset

local File = "Dataset.dta"
local Data `PathDataset'\`File'
display "`Data'"
use "`Data'", clear
40
41
42
43
44
45
//Log on
local File = "PutResultsHere.smcl"
local Log `PathOutput'\`File'
display "`Log'"
log using "`Log'", replace
46
47
48
49
//Threshold for some numerical value

display "the threshold is : `Threshold'"
drop if RankObservation > `Threshold'

3.1.1
How to handle duplicates?

Type of identifier
Bankscope provides two main numerical identifiers : the variable index

(bs_id_number in older version) and the variable bvdidnum. A rapid examination of both variables indicates that there are several distinct index
for a given bvdidnum within the same year. Similarly, you can find distinct
nickname for a given name.
Actually, the variable bvdidnum identifies uniquely a given bank and the
variables index or nickname identify uniquely a bank-consolidation status
relation. In the later case, a bank may report several statements with various
consolidation status and there are as many different index as there are different consolidation status.3 Since the nickname variable is sometimes missing
we suggest to use the index variable rather than the nickname variable.
3.1.2
Type of statement
First, Bankscope provides a broad list of financial institutions but financial statements may not be available for all of them. The variable format
displays the type of data available for each bank:
RD: statement available in the raw data format;
RF: statement under processing by Fitch ratings;
BS: branch of another bank with financial statement available;
BR: branch with no statement;
DC: no longer existing bank, with statements for previous years;
DD: no longer existing bank, without statements;
NA: banks with no statement; only the name and address are available.
RF, BR, DD and NA should be dropped as it does not provide valuable balance sheet observations. Nevertheless, depending on the research question
at hand, it may come handy to flag defunct banks for which past information
is still available, which are signaled by DC.
3
We discuss the consolidation issues just below.
3.1.3
Consolidation issues
Description. Then, Bankscope provides company account statements for

a large set of banks and financial institutions across the world, but it collects
these financial statements with various consolidation status. There are 8
different consolidation status in Bankscope that are detailed in the variable
consol_code:
C1: statement of a mother bank integrating the statements of its controlled subsidiaries or branches with no unconsolidated companion;
C2: statement of a mother bank integrating the statements of its controlled subsidiaries or branches with an unconsolidated companion;
C*: additional consolidated statement;
U1: statement not integrating the statements of the possible controlled
subsidiaries or branches of the concerned bank with no consolidated
companion;
U2: statement not integrating the statements of the possible controlled
subsidiaries or branches of the concerned bank with a consolidated
companion;
U*: additional unconsolidated statement;
A1: aggregated statement with no companion;
A2: aggregated statement with one companion;
NA: bank with no statement; only the name and address are available.
First, what Bankscope called a companion is an additional balance sheet
statement for the exact same bank identified by its bvdidnum (and not an
affiliate for instance). Indeed, it is possible that the exact same entity publishes both consolidated and unconsolidated statements for the same year.
It is also possible that the same bank publishes conslidated statements with
different accounting rules (GAAP vs IFRS for instance). As explained below, each of these statements has a distinct index variable but the same
bvdidnum.
Selecting the adequate statements. The choice between using the consolidated or the unconsolidated financial statements depends entirely on your
research question. However, to be consistent you must imperatively drop either the statements C2 or the statements U2. Keeping both observations
would lead to a pure double counting issue because you would consider two
times balance sheet information (on both a consolidated and an unconsolidated basis) for the same company and the same period of reporting.
7
We suggest to work with {C1/C2/U1} in order to get country aggregates

or to capture the actual size of the banking market for instance or design
concentration measures. Conversely, if you are interested in bank balance
sheet sensitivity you may want to keep {U1/U2/C1} in order to keep most
banks at the disaggregated (group/affiliates/subsidiaries) level to maximize
sample size and avoid the variations you are looking at to be offset or reduced
at the group level.
Double counting issues. However, even after having considered these
consolidation issues, it remains possible to face another double counting issue. When a firm or a bank consolidates its statements, it includes balance
sheet information of its affiliates/subsidiaries by netting out intra-group
transactions among other things. Unfortunately, the Bankscope database
does not make the distinction between consolidated statements and subconsolidated statements, the latter refering to the consolidated statements
of a bank (subsidiary) which are themselves included in the statements of
the parent bank. In other words, the consolidation status variable does not
provide any information concerning the ownership structure of the group
and the parent/subsidiary relations.
For instance, if a bank A has a subsidiary B and if this subsidiary B
publishes unconsolidated or consolidated statements (in this case, this subsidiary consolidates its own subsidiaries balance sheets, lets say C and
D), these statements from bank B (consolidated or unconsolidated) will be
recorded in Bankscope too, even if bank B was already consolidated within
the statements of the parent bank A.
Bankscope publishes a distinct database about ownership structures of
banks that could help to address this issue. Nevertheless, these ownership
data about ultimate ownership are only available in the cross-section for the
current years. To get the time dimension of ownership structure in order to
include the evolution of parent/subsidiaries relation over time (e.g. around
the 2008 crisis), it is necessary to use the updated version of the database
at that time.
Depending on the extent of your Bankscope access, you can deal with
the double counting of asset with different levels of granularity. For instance,
with the online Bankscope interface with the ownership extension, you can
get the latest ownership structure, and if you further contracted for the
quarterly DVD, you will be able to track the evolution of subsidiaries if you
kept the earlier versions of the DVD.
Moreover, a variable available in the latest versions of Bankscope can
help to address the double counting issue due to parent/affiliates relations.
This is the entitytype variable :
Branch loc : Branch location, that is a secondary location over which
headquarters have legal responsibility. Typically, a branch is at a
8
separate location, but it can be located at the same address as its

headquarters or sister branch (provided that they have unique, separate and distinct operations). Branches often have secondary names
or Tradestyles, but always carry the same primary name as their headquarters;
Controlled : Controlled subsidiary, that is a company which is controlled (majority owned) by another company (this notion of control depends on the Ultimate Ownership (UO) definition: 25.01% or
50.01%);
GUO : Global Ultimate Owner, that is a company which is the ultimate
owner of a corporate group according to the UO definition selected
(25.01% or 50.01%);
Independen : Independent company, that is a company which is not a
GUO but which could be GUO. It is considered as independent. It is
a company which has a BvD independence indicator A or B and which
has neither shareholders nor subsidiaries;
Shared con : Shared control that is an entity for which Bankscope
could not identify a GUO in the definition 25% (whenever the definition chosen). The company is owned by 2,3,4 shareholders owning
the same direct percentage and this company has no other shareholder
owning a higher percentage than the others. The summation of these
percentages must exceed 50%;
Single loc : Single location, that is a company which has no ownership
links (no shareholder / no subsidiary);
Unknown.
To be sure to work at the highest level of ownership, it is necessary to
work only with the statements from GUO, single location and independent
company. However, this variable has its own limitation : it is time invariant, namely a given bank has always the same status whatever the period
considerered4 . In a sense, it is hardly reconciliable with M&A which would
introduce changes in the entitytype variable5 .
Dealing with long time series. Sometimes you may want to favor the
length of your series over other dimensions. In this case, it could be problematic to restrict you sample to balance sheet statements having consol_code
4
Hence the need to keep older versions of the DVD to have the successive updates.
In the standard dataset, bankscope has retropolated the last known entitytype to all
the past periods. The online version also provides the date of the update for the ownership
data.
5
{C1/C2/U1} or {U1/U2/C1}. It could be desirable if you want to have

the most homogeneous sample, but it is very likely to create an unbalanced
sample with a lot of gaps. Indeed, there is a non negligible set of banks that
can publish a statement with consol_code C* between two statements C1.
In other words, if you want to maximise the lenght of your time series, you
have to keep these consol_code C* and U*.
However, for a given bvdidnum and for a given year, you can have duplicates, i.e. you can have several observations with various consolidation
codes : C*/C2/U2, U2/U*/C2, and so on. It is even possible to face some
duplicates sharing the same consolidation code but having different total
assets ! This is partly driven by changes in accounting standards.
We provide here a small code which should help you to build the longest
possible time series for each bank of your sample. Basically, it drops iteratively the duplicates for a given bank (identified with its bvdidnum). The
priority rule is the following : we favor consolidation code of type C1/C2
(U1/U2) over C* (U*) 6 .
Readers must also keep in mind that we try to build a systematic treatment that may go against parsimony so that it can sometimes miss (and
possibly produce) some irrelevancies7 .

*This decision rule is somehow arbitrary, but we have to fix

*(can be the reverse depending on the question.)
6
And in the present case consolidated statements over unconsolidated ones but this
last point depends on your research question.

How to obtain yearly observations?
Most of the financial companies publish their account statements at the

end of the year, namely in December. Nonetheless, sometimes banks use
non-calendar fiscal years to report their balance sheet statement (in March
for almost all the Japanese and Indian banks, in January for most of the
Russian banks...). On the top of that, eventhough Bankscope provides us
only with annual data, for a few hundred observations you have duplicated
observations for balance sheet statements that closed at several dates within
a single year. So one needs to handle both the allocation issue (does the
statement reflects year t or t+1 information) as well as the duplication issue
(yearly financial statements published several times a year)8 .
These differences raise an important issue. It is likely that you prefer to
compare data of financial statements reported in March of year t with data
of financial statements reported in December of year t-1 rather than with
data of financial statements reported in December of year t. The variable
closdate provides information concerning the end date of a companys fiscal
year. We can easily create the variables year, month and day from the
closdate variable:
126
127
128
129
//Create time variable

gen year=year(closdate)
gen month=month(closdate)
gen day=day(closdate)
8
You should make sure that the timing of your balance sheet statement is right before
you handle duplicates in terms of consolidated code. E.g. treat the timing issue first
by sorting on the variables index (one for each bank/each consolidation type) while you
would treat the duplication in terms of consolidation code using the variable bvdidnum
(one for each entity whatever the consolidation types).
12
Then, we propose to define a small program in four steps that handles

the situation in a compact way.
First, depending on the research question at hand, you may not want
to keep mid-year financial reports as if you are working at the yearly level,
it is uncertain to which year t or t-1 you should attribute the observation.
So we drop observations with a month number comprised in ]MonthEnd ;
MonthStart[.
Then, you have to identify banks which have "natural" duplicates, i.e.
banks with the same id (insured by id==id[_n+1]) having at least two
observations within the same fiscal year. Essentially you can remove an
observation of the 30th November 2012 if you have an observation for the 31st
December 2012. You would always keep i) the month closest to MonthRef
which would be 12 (for December) and ii) the day closest to the last day of
the month.
Third, if you have banks which report their financial account in March
2012, your best choice would be to consider it as end of 2011 data. So in the
closedate variable, it would still be recorded as a 2012 financial account,
while the actual year variable which you would use would be 2011.
Last, for if you still have duplicates in your dataset, this comes necessarily from the step 3 due to the financial statements you approximated to
belong to the year t-1. So once again, the best strategy would be to keep
the data that have the least forward looking information, that is to say observation which include a bit of t information while it is actually recorded
as t-1. In essence, you would drop the observation reporting a closedate
in 2012, with month March, but a variable year recorded as 2011, provided
you have already a closedate in 2011, with month September, and year
recorded as 2011.

How to get comparable time series?

Same unit?
The data collected by Bankscope are not homogeneous. The variable unit
states whether all other variables of a given observation are in thousands
(3/"th"), millions (6/"mil"), billions (9/"bil"), or trillions (12). So for instance, to convert all your numerical values in millions, you should do (except for the ratios !):
225
226
227
228
229
230
231
232
233
234
235
236
237
238
239
240
241
242
243
//Define the list of all the ratio (which do not have a unit)
global ratio_variable data18030 data18035 data18040 data18045 ///
data18050 data18055 data18057 data18065 data18070 ///
data4031 data10010
244
245
246
//Pick unit convention to apply to the whole dataset:

gen NberOfZeros=6
247
248
249
250
251
252
//Here I detailled how I manage differences in unit :

//I homogeneize all variable in million of currency
foreach var of varlist data2000-data38400 {
replace `var'=`var'*10^(unit-NberOfZeros)
}
253
254
255
256
257
//Cancelled transformations for ratio variables

foreach var of varlist $ratio_variable {
replace `var'=`var'*10^(unit-NberOfZeros)
}
16
You could also prefer to work with well-defined ratios. Indeed, Bankscope
does not provide information for ratio in percentage term. If you want ratios
with value between 0 and 1, you have to divide them by 100.
258
259
260
261
////Transform the ratios in percentage

replace `var'=`var'/100
}
3.3.2
Same currency unit?
The variable exrate_usd provides the exchange rate in USD of a given observation with respect to the date and currency unit of the values expressed
in currency unit. So you need to do the conversion before using variables
expressed in currency (except for the ratios !):
262
263
264
265
//Get homogeneous variables in million USD

foreach var of varlist data2000-data38400 {
replace `var'=`var'*exrate_usd if currency!="USD"
}
266
267
268
269
270
//Cancelled transformations for ratio variables

replace `var'=`var'/exrate_usd if currency!="USD"
}
But handling the currencies may be a bit more complex than you think.
Indeed, depending on the topic of interest, it may be a bad idea to convert
all data from local currency to USD, as you are adding a valuation effect
due to the fluctuation in exchange rates which captures many more effects
than what you want to focus on. First what you want is to make sure the
data you are interested in are comparable; so there should be no within
bank variation of the currency unit: if so, you have to convert everything
to USD. Second, there should be no within group (e.g. country) variation
of the currency unit: if within, say, a country, you have banks reporting
their financial statement in different currencies, and you want to control for
country-wide aggregates, then you will have to convert those data into a
single currency. Naturally, the question is which one? In most cases, both
the national and the US currency are the two conflicting ones. For dollarised
economies, like many South-American countries, you may be closer to the
true picture by using USD as the default currency. Else, for other cases, you
may need to ask yourself which part of the balance sheet matters most to
your study, and in which currency the largest part of the bank/the economy
17
operates. If the bank refinances itself mostly in USD, you may prefer this
currency; if the bank mostly extends loans in the local currency, you may
rather go for the latter, depending on the research question at hand.

How to get comparable entities?
You may need to consider the wide range of financial institutions reported
in the Bankscope database; all of them may not be relevant for your study.
The variable special states into which broad categories the observations
fall :
Bank Holding & Holding Companies
Central Bank
Clearing Institutions & Custody
18
Commercial Banks
Cooperative Bank
Finance Companies (Credit Card, Factoring and Leasing)
Group Finance Companies
Investment & Trust Corporations
Investment Banks
Islamic Banks
Micro-Financing Institutions
Multi-Lateral Government Banks
Other Non Banking Credit Institution
Private Banking & Asset Mgt Companies
Real Estate & Mortgage Bank
Savings Bank
Securities Firm
Specialized Governmental Credit Institution
You may want to get rid of at least Central Banks, Clearing Institutions
and Supranational Institutions (such as the World Bank or the South American Development Bank ...). The latter can as well be removed by excluding country with cntrycde=="II" for Institutional Institutions. Moreover,
some outliers may need to be dealt with specifically, like the US Federal Reserve and its state components which are not recorded as Central Bank but
as Specialized Governmental Credit Institution... which includes for instance
the Government National Mortgage Association-Ginnie Mae!

How to get regional subsample?
We developed a dataset with country names and country codes as officially

stated by the UN so that one gets the possibility to merge any dataset with
an ISO 3166 entry. In addition we provide the breakdown of countries between continents, geographical areas and OECD membership which proxies
for developed countries. See the dataset in Table 2 which you should integrate in a new CountryISO.dta by copy/pasting and using ";" as delimiter.
Then merge it with you standard Bankscope database:
305
306
307
308
//Merge with code for geographical area

merge m:1 cntrycde using "\$PathDataset\CountryISO.dta"
drop if _merge!=3
drop _merge
Tips
4.1
How to handle mergers and acquisitions?
In order to take into account the process of M&As between banks which
may lead to strong discontinuities in the balance sheet variables, you could
try to merge the Bankscope dataset with one dealing with M&As 9 . But
this is an extensive task. So it may be easier to control for M&As just
by controlling for the growth of asset size, without necessarily censuring
extreme variables and loosing observations. Alternatively, you may want
to drop the observations for which you observe an excessive growth rate
of assets which cannot be driven by internal growth (more than 50% for
instance).
4.2
How to handle this unbalanced dataset?
In the same way, the dataset may appear strongly unbalanced as some banks
enter the market while others leave it, or rather some are reported for a
couple of years and then are no longer reported as they have been merged
or went bankrupt. Or the database may be just poorly fed with some data,
especially for developing countries. To take into account the evolution of
the reporting of the market, you may want to control for the growth of the
relative size of the bank compared to the pertinent market.
In the case where you prefer to work with a perfectly balanced dataset
(at the cost of loosing a large number of observations), you could use the
user-written Stata command xtbalance (ssc install xtbalance).

4.3
How to handle the over-representation of some regions?
If you work in cross-country, you may be worried that your results could be
driven by the over-representation of some countries in your sample. To that
extent, you can do robustness checks using weights.
309
310
//Generate the total number of banks in the sample

egen nb_bank=nvals(id)
311
312
313
//Generate the total number of banks by country

egen nb_bank_country=nvals(id), by(country)
314
315
316
//Compute the weight

gen weight=nb_bank/nb_bank_country
317
318
319
//Use the pweight option

reg y x [pweight=weight], robust
4.4
How to get better variable names?
You may also want to rename your variables to their true name instead
of the cryptic "data2000" convention, so that you can use the helpful *
concatenation symbol, for instance in order to summarize all capital ratio
variables starting with capital_ratio*. See the appendix C. The list of all
balance sheet item is displayed in table 1.
4.5
How to handle differences in programming languages

with LATEX?
There exist several Stata packages which allow you to export your results
directly in a suitable format for LATEX. First you need to be careful in
the way you define your variables or labels to avoid special characters, for
instance underscores ("_") or ampersand ("&"). But if your dataset has
string values like bank names in the name variable that contain some of
those special characters and you want to export them in LATEXformat, then
you should use the following line of code:
320
321
//Replace specific characters to be suitable for TEX

replace name = subinstr(name, "&", "\&",.)

Dataset coverage in Europe
Here we compare the coverage of the European banking sector in Bankscope

with the ECB aggregate banking statistics. The Bankscope dataset used
here is treated to limit the presence of duplicated assets by keeping in priority consolidated statements (see subsection 3.1.3). Thus the dataset includes
non-consolidated statements for institutions that do not have consolidated
ones. The ECB statistics report the aggregate size per country-year of Monetary and Financial Institutions (MFI). MFIs are defined as "resident credit
institutions and other resident financial institutions the business of which is
to receive deposits and/or close substitutes for deposits from entities other
than MFIs and, for their own account, to grant credit and/or make investments in securities".10
P
assets of institutions in Bankscope
For each country, a ratio
close to one
aggregate assets of MFIs
means that the Bankscope dataset is a good representation of the overall banking sector. For European countries, the Bankscope dataset is a
good representation of the overall banking sector, except for Malta where
Bankscope captures less than 20% of the banking assets (Figure 1).
Results different from 1 can have several sources: first the consolidated
statements in the numerator exclude within group transactions but de facto
include overseas assets, while the denominator allows only for within country consolidation among other MFIs; second the numerator also includes
bank-holding companies that may consolidate their account with non-bank
business like insurance (this is for instance the case in Finland around 2000
with Nordea Bank Finland Plc whose scope changed due to mergers and
divestitures in the non-banking sector).

The dataset is limited to countries for which the ECB provides consolidated banking statistics. The Bankscope dataset includes non-consolidated
statements for institutions that do nto have consolidated ones. A ratio of the total assets in Bankscope over the aggregate size of Monetary and
Financial Institutions from the ECB close to one means that the Bankscope dataset is a good representation of the overall banking sector.

How to load a dataset easily?

How to harmonize paths towards other do-files/datasets?

When working on several computers or in collaboration, it is always painful

//Define the path to the driver

//Define the paths

Then write the following code in a "Master" Do-File:

//Create the paths

//Launch the do-file

set more off

//Name of the path passed to the .do file in macro `1'

//Load the dataset

//Threshold for some numerical value

Working with an homogeneous dataset

How to handle duplicates?

Bankscope provides two main numerical identifiers : the variable index

We discuss the consolidation issues just below.

Description. Then, Bankscope provides company account statements for

We suggest to work with {C1/C2/U1} in order to get country aggregates

separate location, but it can be located at the same address as its

{C1/C2/U1} or {U1/U2/C1}. It could be desirable if you want to have

*First drop very special codes

*Then Drop pure duplicates i.e. observations having the same

duplicates drop bvdidnum year consol_code t_asset, force

*If a bank identified by its BVDIDNUM has several observations

*This decision rule is somehow arbitrary, but we have to fix

* - favor type 1 or 2 statements over complementary statement

*For that we first generate a variable indicating the number

duplicates tag bvdidnum year, gen(dup)

*Then we generate dummies indicating whether a combinaison

foreach var of varlist C1-Ustar {

*Now, we drop duplicates by following the rule indicated

drop if dup>0 & consol_code!="C1" & C1!=0

*It could remain some duplicates having the same consol_code

egen double max_asset=max(t_asset), ///

*Now you can check that you have no longer duplicates

How to obtain yearly observations?

Most of the financial companies publish their account statements at the

//Create time variable

Then, we propose to define a small program in four steps that handles

//Adjust dataset for financial statements reported at ///

program define HandleDuplicates

//Drop if mid-year balance sheet data

//If "natural duplicates", drop them before anything else

drop if year(closdate)==year(closdate[_n+1]) & ///

//Compute the number of month between the current observations

//Create a variable indicating whether all reporting month are

//Create the first and last variable for each bank

//Replace the current year by the previous year for banks

//Replace the current year by the previous year for banks

//Replace the current year by the previous year for banks

//the previous observations have a different month but more

//If we have several balance sheet data within a year due to

//To finish, remaining duplicates correspond to observations
