Datasets released as public goods, with citations. Large files live at their archive of record rather than here, so the link is the canonical one and the DOI is what you cite.
Freedman's Savings and Trust Bank Passbook and Dividend Repayment Records flagship
Transcribed depositor records from the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company, assembled for the Review of Financial Studies paper on societal inequality and bank deposit dynamics. Published as a standalone data paper so the records are citable independently of the analysis built on them.

| Coverage | About 500 sampled depositor passbooks with transactions, plus all 40,000-odd dividend repayments after the 1874 dissolution; Freedman's Savings and Trust Company, 1865 to 1874 |

Loan Agreement Text Data: Contract Texts, Parsed Sections, and Clause Breakpoints from SEC EDGAR Filings (1996–2017)
The corpus behind the loan-agreement paper with Bernhard Ganglmair: every contract re-flowed from EDGAR HTML into clean text, a control file with dates, Dealscan and Compustat linkage keys and the line ranges of the defaults and covenants sections, and the parser's clause breakpoints. Dealscan identifiers are included only as merge keys; no licensed Dealscan variables ship with it.

LLM-Generated Synthetic Covenant Packages
The synthetic counterfactuals behind the covenant-tightness paper with Daniel Rettl. Generation was nondeterministic, so the raw API responses are archived as the source of record rather than regenerated. Parsed outputs that depend on Dealscan and Compustat are not included; the replication repository rebuilds them from these files.
