Hello Dylan,
University College London appears between University of Buffalo and University of Adelaide in the drop down list of institutions. I have contacted WRDS and have asked them to get this file correctly and appear as UCL.
Thanks,
Sarah
Hi, I am unable to find UCL under the subscriber universities on the wrds service form at URL: https://wrds-www.wharton.upenn.edu/register/
Could you please advise on how I can get access.
