As highlighted in a recent Bond Buyer article, The University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy’s Center for Municipal Finance has formed a distribution partnership with Investortools. This collaboration aims to enhance academic research by providing reliable and consistent data on how governments raise, administer, and spend public money, offering a clearer picture for analysis and insights into various aspects of public finance over time.
“Our alignment with the University of Chicago’s Municipal Finance Center to provide for academic clearinghouse enables us to make our credit data available to qualified academic faculty to produce scholarly research.”
Richard Ciccarone
President Emeritus of Merritt Research Services LLC, an Investortools Company.
“At Investortools, we’ve always been focused on delivering software and data solutions to market participants, and we always will be. We’re excited to see how the University of Chicago and their world-class team will help bring new insights and a deeper understanding to public finance by exploring the industry-leading data that our Merritt Research Services division produces. We’re eager to learn from the research projects that the university will undertake.”
