Three-letter stock exchange codes with exchange names and home countries, as
used for example by Datastream. Some of these exchanges ceased operation years ago.
The country column is intended to be the current name of the last known country
of principal operations. Corrections are welcome but
I can't answer questions about the exchanges themselves. If you use these codes
for an
academic research paper, please mention that you obtained them from Arnie
Cowan's web site.
