| Summary: | We use a new dataset on Islamic banks to link regulation and bank efficiency.
Specifically, we examine how bank efficiency is influenced by: (i) bank regulation,
(ii) institutional variables, (iii) economic freedom, and (iv) Shariah law parameters.
Our hypothesis attempts to prove that better regulation will produce a higher level of
efficiency. We will also try to prove that the Shariah law parameter will promote better
efficiency among Islamic banks. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to measure
efficiency, while the panel data method is used to analyse the data. Specifically, our
results suggest that a significant relationship exists between bank efficiency and greater
restrictions on Islamic bank activities. The results also show that regulatory quality has
a positive and significant impact on bank efficiency. The negative coefficient of the
economic freedom indicates that Islamic banks have a greater ability to enter into the
banking industry and obtain an easy licence, create products and services, and close
the business. All would dampen bank efficiency. Overall, our findings support the
argument that regulation should be adapted to the risk and size level of the Islamic
banks that are being regulated. |
