Purpose In recent years, the fast growth of Islamic banks (IBs) has generated debates among policymakers and economists about sustainability performance these institutions. This paper aims to undertake a comparative analysis financial IBs conventional (CBs) in Pakistan over period 2008–2019 evaluate how are faring compared their peers. Design/methodology/approach considers Financial Ratio Analy...

In most developing countries capital markets are relatively undeveloped and banks are often unable or unwilling to undertake term lending. Also, banks prefer to lend to larger established businesses with well-developed balance sheets and credit histories. While operations of microenterprises and small businesses (MSBs) are cash-flow oriented they rarely have organized historical and financial r...

Recent research in the design of filter banks has shown that nonorthogonal filter banks can potentially provide higher coding gains over orthogonal filter banks. The use of non-orthogonal filter banks, however, poses a difficulty in the quantization of subband signals. The conventional nearest-neighbor (NN) encoding rule for the quantization of subband signals is no longer optimal. In this pape...

Modern trade theory emphasizes firm-level productivity differentials to explain the cross-border activities of non-financial firms. This study tests whether a productivity pecking order also determines international banking activities. Using a novel dataset that contains all German banks’ international activities, we estimate the ordered probability of a presence abroad (extensive margin) and t...

We investigate a special class of N-channel oversampled linearphase perfect reconstruction filter banks with a smaller decimation factor M than N. We deal with systems in which all analysis and synthesis filters have the same FIR length and share the same center of symmetry. We provide the general lattice factorization of a polyphase matrix of a particular class of these oversampled filter bank...

This study explores the relationship between competition and performance in a dual-banking setting. More specifically, we compare whether using Traditional Lerner index (TLI) efficiency-adjusted (EALI) would yield different conclusions. We take data from 2008 to 2020 Malaysia as case study. Considering nature of dataset variables within, employ system Generalized Method Moments. Our findings re...
