Financial results and conditions vary among companies for a number of reasons. One reason for the variation can be traced to the characteristics of the industries in which companies operate.

The Standard and Poor 's Capital IQ database (Standard and Poor 's, 2015) provides financial data on listed corporations all around the globe. It has a great coverage of data across countries and time periods for all sectors. All the data is provided in million US dollars. The database uses the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) (Standard and Poor 's, 2008), which categorizes firms into 10 sectors, with further sub-groups for better transparency.

GICS designates the financial sector with the number 40(Standard and Poor 's, 2008), thus non-financial corporations are defined as firms, whose industry classification is not equal 40. As it is very important to only have non-financial corporations in my sample, any firms with ambiguous or missing industry classification, was dropped.
