A flowchart illustrating the data acquisition process for agricultural food companies. The top of the flowchart starts with Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS). Below WRDS, there is a box labeled CRSP/COMPUSTAT. This box indicates that data from January 2007 to December 2020 for 104 agricultural food companies were used. The flowchart then splits into two branches. The left branch leads to a box labeled Simplified Financial Statement, which further leads to a box labeled Indicators and then to a box labeled Common Equity. The right branch leads to a box labeled Security Monthly, which further leads to a box labeled Indicators and then to a box listing three items: Shares Outstanding Monthly, Price Close Monthly, and Total Monthly Return.Data acquisition process flowchart for agricultural food companies.
