TSE Finance Lab is the hub for finance students on our campus. It is equipped with dual-screen PCs and a wall monitor for financial news, as well as a projector and Genelec speakers for teaching purposes. PCs have a number of statistical programs (e.g., R/RStudio, EViews, Stata, MATLAB, SAS) and other relevant programs (e.g., Python) installed.
PCs have LSEG Workspace (formerly Refinitiv Eikon) with access to Datastream via Excel. For more information about the Workspace and using Datastream to download data, visit our RAHA area on Moodle. You can also visit e.g. https://libguides.mit.edu/rws
Other databases are available on a more temporary basis. In 2024-2026, we have access to the Orbis Europe database and one Bloomberg Terminal as a courtesy of Liedon Säästöpankkisäätiö.
The Bloomberg Terminal is a computer software system provided by the financial data vendor Bloomberg L.P. that gives access to Bloomberg Professional Services through which users can monitor and analyze real-time financial market data.
Orbis Europe is a financial and business database on Europe’s largest 600,000 public and private companies by total assets. 43 countries are covered. Orbis Europe (formerly known as ‘Amadeus’) is a product of Moody’s Analytics (earlier of Bureau van Dijk which Moody’s bought). The database provides standardised annual accounts (consolidated and unconsolidated), financial ratios, sectoral activities and ownership data. Orbis Europe is suitable for research, e.g., on accounting issues, competitiveness, ESG, economic integration, applied microeconomics, business cycles, economic geography and corporate finance.
TSE Finance Lab is located on the third floor of Turku School of Economics, in room LS35 (take the elevator to the 3rd floor, cross the bridge, and turn right). The lab is accessible Mon-Sun, 7 am to 10 pm, with the TSE access tag.
