Compustat-SSEL Bridge

The Compustat-SSEL Bridge (CSB) was created to facilitate linking Compustat data to the Standard Statistical Establishment Listing. Compustat provides standardized North American and global financial statement and market data for over 80,000 active and inactive publicly traded companies. The bridge was created using a 2008 Compustat file. The Census Bureau does not have Compustat data available to researchers. Researchers must provide the Compustat data as user-provided data.

Use of this data requires Internal Revenue Service (IRS) approval.
