I am a new student to use data and the STATA program.
my question is how can I download data from NYSE stocks from 1963 to 1996?
please I need help to complete my project.

I look forward to your answer.

best.

Stock data can be downloaded from various sources, such as CRSP (if you have access to that) or Yahoo Finance. Then you import the data to Stata. If you have your stock prices in a csv file, use the following instructions https://www.stata.com/manuals/dimportdelimited.pdf

If your data is in an Excel file, use the following instructions: https://www.stata.com/manuals/dimportexcel.pdf

CRSP is expensive, but many universities have access. You may have to hunt someone down that can get it for you.
