OECF1

Background

To examine patterns of financing and investment, the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund (OECF, a Japanese governmental agency for foreign aid, currently called JBIC) collected balance sheets and income statements from the stock exchange and the registration at the Ministry of Commerce in Thailand. They are interested in the largest firms, and the companies listed in the stock exchange are not necessarily the largest ones in Thailand. Hence they first identified the largest companies by using "Financial Day 2000", and collected the data of those companies including non-listed ones.

Coverage

The dataset contains standard financial items in balance sheet and income statement for 900 largest manufacturing companies in terms of total asset. The data is a panel starting from 1991 up to 1995, and the frequency is annual. There are some concerns regarding the reliability of the data for non-listed companies, which is collected from the registration at the ministry of commerce.
