Pricing of the Ownership Structure Data


This dataset is available at affordable rates. For a range of five years, we charge Rs. 1200 for each of the ownership variables per 100 companies. See the following example of data pricing:

Fee Calculation Example:

As an example, please consider a data order of 5 variables for 5 years and 100 firms.

Variables needed: (1) Total Shares (2) Board Size  (3) CEO Duality (4) Institutional Ownership (5) Board Independence

Data Years: 2014 – 2018

Since the data fee is Rs. 1200 per variable for 5 years and 100 firms, the fee is Rs. 1200 x 5 Variables = Rs. 6,000. If the order is for 200 firms, the fee would double by a factor of 2, i.e. Rs. 12,000. Similarly, if the order is for 10 variables, 10 years, and 200 firms, the fee would be:
Rs. 24,000 = Rs. 1200 per variable x 10 variables x 10 years / 5

For more variations in variables and years, please see the Fee Calculator tab to the left.
