PREFACE Modeling Time to Event: Applications of Survival Analysis in Accounting, Economics and Finance
This special issue of the Review of Finance and Accounting presents six papers which use survival analysis as a research method to examine a wide range of research questions in accounting, economics, and finance. Although researchers have increased their use of survival analysis as a research method in recent years, its presence in the methods ‘toolbox’ of these disciplines is not comparable to the physical sciences or other social sciences. Whereas survival analysis is routinely used in biomedicine, sociology, and engineering to study questions related to patient survival, marriage, and equipment failure, the use of survival analysis in economic‐based disciplines is not comparable to other disciplines. This issue was assembled in order to highlight the use of survival analysis in economics‐based disciplines with the express purpose of encouraging its use as a research method to examine a wider range of research issues. The papers assembled in this issue are written by authors who have previously demonstrated an interest in survival analysis.
