  • Financialization of the economy and income inequality in selected OIC and OECD countries: the role of institutional factors

    • Authors: Muhammad Abdulkarim, Fatima (2016)

  • Throughout the world, the income gap between the rich and the poor has continued to widen. It has been reported that income inequality is spiraling out of control and this is a dangerous trend that pose significant threat to the global sustainability. Several factors have contributed to this widening income gap, among which is financialization of the economy (much faster growth of the financial sector than in the real sector of the economy through rapid growth of debt and large increases in financial sector profits). The aim of the study is to examine the prevalence of income inequality in Organization for Islamic Countries, (OIC) countries and examine how it differs from Organization...

  • Financing economic growth with stability from Islamic perspective

    • Authors: Shaukat, Mughees; Hasan, Zubair; Alhabshi, Syed Othman (2014)

  • Evidence has been mounting that the interest-based debt financing regime is under increasing distress. Evidence also suggests that the financial crises, whatever title they carried - exchange rate crisis or banking crisis – have been debt related crises in essence. At present, data suggest that the debt-to-GDP ratio of the richest members of the G-20 is expected to reach 120% mark by 2014. There is also evidence that out of securities worth US$ 200 trillion in the global economy, no less than three-fourth represent interest-based debt. It is difficult to see how this massive debt volume can be validated by the underlying productive capacity of the global economy. This picture becomes ...

  • Gaps in the theory and practice of Islamic economics

    • Authors: Mahmoud Al-Jarhi, Mabid Ali Mohamed (2013)

  • After a generation of non-professional writers in Islamic economics, professional economists entered the stage with an important ambition, which has been to introduce a third alternative to humanity in addition to capitalism and socialism that would answer some of the inadequacies of each. Moreover, the analysis of human (individual and collective) behavior towards scarcity under the teachings of Islam was itself worth pursuing. The intellectual effort is yet to produce significant practices of Islamic economics. The exceptions include some application of Islamic finance that raises many questions, and a few applications of zakah and awqaf. The most serious challenge of Islamic financ...

  • Genuine savings determinants in oil producing countries: the case of OIC oil producing countries

    • Authors: Muhammad Mustapha, Is'haq (2016)

  • World demand for oil and natural gas is driven by economic growth and social development across the globe. According to the U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA, 2016), world oil consumption increased almost fourfold in the last 45 years. As at 1st quarter 2016, It reached 96mb/day (more than 35billion barrels per year) from 86mb/day in 2006. Muslim countries, which include Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Yemen, Libya, Nigeria, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, are blessed with crude oil and natural gas reserves, making a concentration of the world oil production in the Muslim world ...

  • Globalization and Islamic finance: convergence, prospects, and challenges

    • Authors: Iqbal, Zamir; Mirakhor, Abbas; Askari, Hossein (2010)

  • This is an extremely valuable book written by three highly qualified scholars whose credentials for writing such a book are difficult to match. The timing of the book is also perfect, having come at a time when the worst financial crisis in living memory has intensified the quest for reform of the international architecture. The proposals made by the authors should go a long way in not only reforming the system but also in accelerating the move towards financial globalization and convergence of the conventional and Islamic financial systems.

  • The impact of financial development on income inequality: a comparative analysis of OIC and Non-OIC countries and the role of Islamic finance and institutions

    • Authors: Sapar, Resul (2017)

  • Income inequality, or the widening income gap between the rich and the poor, is the most discussed universal and controversial issue. It is an issue of great concern as history has shown that it can create costly, bloody, social and political instability as evidenced by French and Russian Revolutions and Arab Spring events. Many causes have been cited for the widening income gap between the rich and the poor including economic development, technological change, trade openness, financial development, and changes in labor market institutions, redistributive policies and education attainment. This thesis focuses ...

  • Impact of political connections and Shari'ah compliance on firms' profitability - a case study of Malaysia

    • Authors: Saba, Irum; Abdul Kareem, Mohamed Ariff; Mohd Rasid, Mohamed Eskandar Shah (2016)

  • Connections between politicians and business houses are not uncommon. Literature shows that firms tends to connect with politicians/political parties to get easy access to credit, to have lax regulatory oversight, to have preferential treatment for the government contracts and for having access to insider information. On the other hand a Shari'ah compliant firm is considered to perform ethically and justly due to adherence to the rules and regulations prescribed by Shari'ah. In recent years the research on political connections of Malaysian listed firms is increased. But the comparison of politically connected listed firms and Shari'ah compliant listed firms in Malaysia is lacking. Ma...

  • The impact of real estate, inequality and current account imbalances on credit intensity: a cross-country analysis

    • Authors: Abdul Halim, Asyraf (2016)

  • This paper seeks to show empirical evidence on the relationship amongst excessive credit, real estate, inequality and current account imbalances by using the LSDVC estimator based on 10 countries with similar economic experiences between the years 2004 through 2012. The paper is motivated by the gap in the literature concerning this topic and the fact that there exists a myriad of previous works that demonstrate how the dominance of real estate, inequality and current account imbalances are natural side effects owing to economic growth in a country ...

  • Institutional quality and CO2 emission-trade relations: evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa

    • Authors: Ibrahim, Mansor H.; Siong, Hook Law (2015)

  • This paper examines the roles of trade, institutional quality and their interactions in explaining carbon dioxide emissions in a panel sample of 40 Sub-Sahara African countries using the system generalised method of moments. We find that institutional reforms are unequivocally environmental improving. Meanwhile, the impacts of trade on the environment tend to depend on the institutional setting of a country. More specifically, trade openness is harmful to the environment in countries with low institutional quality and beneficial to the environment in countries with high institutional quality. This means that institutional reforms are a perquisite for the countries with low institution...
