Data

U.S. Historical Bank Runs Database (1812–1963)

This is the main dataset behind the paper “Bank Runs With and Without Bank Failure”. It documents historical bank distress episodes in the United States, including bank runs, suspensions, closures, and reopenings. Each episode is linked to contemporary newspaper articles that provide primary source documentation.

U.S. Commercial Bank Call Reports (1969-2025)

(See Liberty Street Economics post for more details)

U.S. National Bank Balance Sheets (1863-1940)

OCC Sample Balance Sheets

Starting on 1863, the Comptroller of the Currency has prepared Annual Reports to the U.S. Congress with the balance sheets of all National Banks (equivalent to our current Call Reports).

Using OCR methods and exploiting double-entry bookkeeping of balance sheets to verify the accuracy of the results, we have digitized the records for all national banks between 1863 and 1940 (roughly 371,000 balance sheets).
