EventStream
Eventus Features
EventStream is a SAS® application that helps researchers use the Thomson Financial Datastream database. EventStream provides the user with a simple yet flexible and powerful way to download equity security returns data, with corresponding Datastream Global Total Market index returns, prepare them for Eventus, and write the Eventus statements to analyze the data.
EventStream makes Eventus event studies with Datastream data far simpler and less time consuming.
Please note that EventStream software does not perform event study statistical calculations and is licensed only in conjunction with Eventus® software. EventStream works without Eventus to help you download, using Datastream's DSWindows program, the Datastream equity returns and market index returns needed for an event study or many event studies. EventStream also builds Eventus-ready data sets and commands for the actual event study. EventStream and Eventus work together whether run on the same or different computers.
EventStream does not connect directly to the Datastream Research Service nor does it come with a Datastream subscription or data. EventStream builds complete, ready-to-run DSWindows macros customized for the user's data needs and post-processes the downloaded data. At present, EventStream doesn't support Datastream access methods other than DSWindows.
EventStream software and Eventus software require The SAS System version 9.1 or greater available to run on the same computer. Both EventStream and Eventus extend SAS and will not run without SAS.
