I am currently on the preliminary stages of my PhD thesis research and I am planning to extend my research on Banking Industry Sustainable Growth rate under risk, by analyzing South East European Countries Banking Industry. However, to further extend my topic I need data from Bank Focus but my Institution is not subscribed in this database.
Does anyone know how to acquire access to Bank Focus? Does anyone know of an alternative database we can look into?
You may get cheap individual access to banking data software. You may contact them and let them your situation know.
Depending upon the specific data parameters you seek, you may be able to access it free-of-charge from the banks themselves through their annual reports and accounts on their websites, or 10Ks on the SEC website.
This would have an added benefit that you would be accessing data from its audited source, rather than via a database, which improves the quality of your research.
When I consulted a number of databases for my own doctoral thesis appended below, I found all of the major databases contained a variety of errors.
So I had no choice but to go back to the source data rather than rely on the flawed error-prone databases.
That step in itself could be an interesting contribution to the originality of your research write-up.
