I would like to perform some standard econometric analysis of Bitcoin transactions, so as to see which external factors may contribute to increase/decrease of payment activity, market liquidity etc. The problem is that I don't know how to turn the blockchain into a database that may be used with statistical analysis softwares such as Stata, SAS etc; did anyone do this already?

Thanks

I don't know, but you can use bitcoin-abe by John Tob(e)y to turn the blockchain into a sql database (mysql or postgres) for a start.
