Summary

This study includes five data files focusing on stock market fluctuations during the Korean and Vietnam wars. The Vietnam War is more heavily emphasized, with four datasets: Part 1 presents the Dow-Jones industrial daily averages from January 1964 to December 1968, Part 2 contains the net daily changes for the same period, Part 3 lists the number of deaths published in the weekly casualty list during the war, and Part 4 records the net changes in the Dow Jones industrial averages and in the stocks of ten firms with substantial holdings in less developed countries and 15 defense-related industries, on 94 days selected as significant in terms of war events. Finally, the Korean War is represented in Part 5, which contains Dow Jones industrial changes on 76 event days.
