Proper Use:

  • Please understand that you should use Wind and Bloomberg only for the purpose of academic research and courses, with the knowledge that for-profit and/or personal uses are forbidden. You can never share full or substantial portions of reports, articles, spreadsheets, datasets, etc. from Wind and Bloomberg with anyone outside of NYU Shanghai, including experiential client projects, internships, and current employers.
