Episode Details

Every year, for the last 30+ years, I have spent the first week on the year updating data that I then provide on my website, and 2022 is no exception. In this post, I start by explaining why I am both a believer in and skeptic about data. I then describe my sample of 47,606 firms in this year's sample, from 135 countries, and spread across all of the continent, and explain my industry groupings for companies. I also provide a broad overview of the few macro and many micro variables that are in datasets, and provide details on the timing of the data. If you do decide to use the data, I present cautionary notes about timeliness and usage, and ask that you understand the data, before you use and take ownership of your analysis. Finally, if you find my data useful, there is no need for thanks, but please do pass on the sharing.
