Islamic Banking and Finance: Recent Empirical Literature and Directions for Future Research (2015, background): “The main finding from Turk Ariss (2010) is that Islamic banks are less competitive than conventional operators although this finding conflicts with Weill (2011) who shows that Islamic banks have lower market power.”
Risk in Islamic Banking (2012, methodology): “However, Weill (2011), using a sample of 1,301 observations for 34 Islamic and 230 conventional banks operating in 17 OIC member countries between 2001 and 2007, computes Lerner indices and finds that Islamic banks have lower price mark-ups (market power) than conventional banks.”
Does Islamic banking development favor macroeconomic efficiency? Evidence on the Islamic finance-growth nexus (2015, methodology): “2 For instance, see Cihak and Hesse (2010) on financial stability, Weill (2011) on competition, Rosman et al. (2014) and Johnes et al. (2014) on efficiency, or Shaban et al. (2014) on willingness to lend to small businesses.”
