Wharton Research Data Services
WRDS is an Internet-based data subscription service that is provided by the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. The data available are mainly related to business and finance and WRDS hosts the major numeric data sets used by academic researchers.
WRDS access is licensed for current UTD faculty and graduate students. Visitor accounts are available for visiting faculty (non-permanent or those on a limited appointment). These accounts are subject to additional review and may not be used after the visiting appointment ends.
To request an account, visit the WRDS registration page and click Register in the top-right corner of the page. Be sure to select University of Texas at Dallas in the Subscriber field.
McDermott Library personnel will verify your status with the university and approve your account access.
If you leave UTD and move to another university with WRDS access, we can transfer your account .
