Marshall provides access several databases via the Wharton Research Data Service (WRDS). All current USC students, faculty and staff can access WRDS via a day-pass that is generated by WRDS; just enter your USC e-mail as prompted. If you are a graduate student or faculty member, you can apply for an account. Please follow the instructions for application; the accounts are generally approved within 24-48 hours. Accounts typically expire when the user graduates. Both user groups have access to the same data, however account holders are able to save their information/datasets on WRDS.
