I would be grateful if you could let me know what kind of sampling method is used in the following research (discrete time survival analysis)? Is it purposive (judgemental) sampling or the whole population is studied? All companies listed on the stock market during 2000-2017 are included except:
1- financial companies (e.g. banks, insurance companies, and etc) because they are operating in a different legal environment. Besides, their financial structure are also different.
2-companies which are bankrupt in 2000. Since we want to predict bankruptcy, the sampled companies should be healthy at the start of research.
3- furthermore, if a company went bankrupt in 2010, the data for later years (i.e., 2011, 2012, and so on) are not included in the sample.
Thanks in advance,
