RiskMetrics (through ISS Governance Services) is a leader in corporate governance data. IRRC was initially the data provider for WRDS. IRRC, however, was acquired by ISS in 2005. This acquisition did not initially affect the data provided through WRDS, but that changed in 2007 when RiskMetrics changed the methodology to collect data to follow ISS specifications. Also, the new methodology does not collect all the variables needed to create the Governance Index (GIndex). As a consequence, beginning with data for 2007, WRDS keeps the old IRRC-methodology data (Legacy version) separated from the GCQ type of data. RiskMetrics delivers to data for the new methodology to WRDS in four datasets identified as: RiskMetrics Group Historical Governance, Historical Directors data, Voting Results data, and Shareholder Proposal data. WRDS is accessible to faculty and graduate students, undergraduate students need permission from their faculty.
