body {text-align: justify}
BBGsymbols provides a
collection of Bloomberg related helper datasets conveniently packaged
for consumption in R.
Install the development version from github with:
devtools::install_github("bautheac/BBGsymbols").
Fields
The fields dataset gathers common Bloomberg query fields. It provides
popular historical and contemporaneous data fields that are likely to
provide the necessary information and beyond for any rigorous research
or more applied work in finance and financial economics. Financial
instruments covered at the time of writing include ‘equity’, referring
to any equity like security, ‘fund’ encompassing any money managing
entity and ‘futures’ covering the futures markets. The author welcomes
pull requests that could help expanding the current coverage.
