  • On the stability of an Islamic financial system

    • Authors: Askari, Hossein; Krichene, Noureddine; Mirakhor, Abbas (2014)

  • In an Islamic economy, the financial sector functions to support the real sector. There are no interest rate based debt instruments. Financial assets are based on risk and return sharing and are contingent claims. Real as well as monetary forces determine the rate of return. As in traditional general equilibrium theory, there is a price system comprised of a real rate of return to capital and a price level of commodities that simultaneously clears asset and commodity markets. An Islamic financial system is shown to be stable, namely the economy evolves from short-term equilibrium to a stable long-term equilibrium.

  • Opportunities of implementing Islamic finance system in Muslim-minority countries: case study of the Russian Federation

    • Authors: Khairetdinova, Kamila (2017)

  • The Russian Federation is emerging and yet, according to some experts, potentially successful marketplace for Islamic financial system development and it is in the stage of choosing the path it should take to achieve this goal. It is essential to determine the best possible option that could be suitable for it to adopt as the reputational risk is very high (and moreover, unfortunately it has already faced the compelled termination of several Islamic finance projects in its history). Should the Russian Federation learn from the experience of other Muslim-minority countries (there is also a misconception revealed in this paper that it is not correct to put Muslim-majority ...

  • Ottoman merchants and the jurisprudential shift hypothesis

    • Authors: Cizakca, Murat (2008)

  • Merchants in every civilization operate within specific institutional frameworks, which determine their relative efficiency and their transaction costs. It can be argued that a more advanced and efficient institutional framework leads to lower transaction costs and lower transaction costs, in turn, lead to higher competitiveness. Merchant privileged to operate within an institutional environment allowing lower transaction costs simply can compete better and drive their competitors, operating at higher transaction costs, out of international markets.

  • Pandemic thoughts to assist poor in India: being a helper in your community

    • Authors: Muneeza, Aishath (2021)

  • COVID-19 is a black swan event that has turned back the global poverty clock. Millions have lost their jobs overnight and have no way to find employment due to the lockdown measures taken to adequately deal with the pandemic and save the humankind from being extinct. The first case of COVID-19 in India was reported on 30 January 2020 and on 24 March 2020, the Prime Minister of the country announced that the country is going for full lockdown. This caused disruption in all major economic activities and led to increase in unemployment causing extreme poverty as no immediate financial helping hand was offered to them. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), it is expecte...

    • Authors: Alhabshi, Syed Othman (2017)

  • Performance of Shari'ah compliant and non-Shari'ah compliant listed firms: a case study of Malaysia

    • Authors: Saba, Irum; Abdul Kareem, Mohamed Ariff; Mohd Rasid, Mohamed Eskandar Shah (2020)

  • Shari'ah provides the basic tenets of the Islamic finance industry and advocates banks to share their profits and losses with investors. But what it means for a firm to be "Shari'ah-compliant" and what form of connections it can have, even in theory, to either the firm's value or profitability is still an untapped question. This study tries to answer this question. This study aims to find the impact of Shari'ah compliance on firm performance. The results obtained would be useful in helping investors, regulators, companies, government, academicians and practitioners in their decision-making process as to ensure better economic and business gains, both locally and globally. Panel data o...
