Web BRD: A Window on the World of Big-Case BankruptcyWeb BRD is the most powerful business bankruptcy research tool on the web. Web BRD enables you to design and instantly execute an empirical study of large, public company bankruptcy cases in seconds -- in the most complete, accurate data available anywhere. Web BRD is a byproduct of my empirical research on large, public company bankruptcies. Over a period of almost twenty years, I have collected the data from those studies -- more than 150 fields of data on each of more than 700 cases -- in the Bankruptcy Research Database. The Web BRD contains the 20 most useful fields from the Bankruptcy Research Database. I make this data available free so that journalists, researchers, lawyers, judges, and the idly curious can have a bird's eye view of how the United States Bankruptcy Courts interact with large, public companies. We make the Excel version of the Bankruptcy Research Database available free to academics who are writing for publication. Hundreds of scholarly articles have been written using the Excel version. We also generate custom graphs for journalists on matters of public interest. Here are some examples: Monthly Bankruptcy Filings By Large, Public Companies, March 2008 - February 2010 Annual Bankruptcy Filings by Large, Public Companies, 1990 - 2009 Forum Shopping Rate, 1980-2009 Average Duration of Non-prepackaged, Non-prenegotiated Large, Public Company Bankruptcies 2000-2009 Average Duration of Large, Public Company Bankruptcies 2000-2009 Conference information for the Big-Case Bankruptcy Empirical Research Agenda |
