“…The income of household has statistically insignificant impact on child educational attainment in both regions but negative for urban and positive for rural sample. Our results are in line with that of Holmes (2003), Kafle et al (2017), Sajid and Khan (2016), Hashmi et al (2008).…”

“…Patrinos and Psacharopoulos (1997) find a negative impact of income on child educational attainment in Peru while Zhao and Glewwe (2010) evidence that in China household income has positive effect on years of schooling completed. Kafle et al (2017) find that durable assets have positive impact on child educational attainment while the effect of agriculture land ownership on child education is negative especially for children who belong to rural household. Olaniyan (2011) show that parents' education positively affects child educational attainment.…”

The main purpose of conducting this study was to explore the socio-economic determinants of child educational attainment in Pakistan. Data on selected variables is extracted from nationally representative survey of Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) 2013-14. The study considers the children of age 5-18 years who ever attended any or currently attending any educational institution. Censored Ordered Probit model is employed. The results at aggregate level reveal that child’s gender, child’s age, age of household’s head, parental education, household assets and availability of private schools positively affect child educational attainment in Pakistan. Children belong to Baluchistan province and urban region of Pakistan also get more education as compare to reference categories. Gender of household head and distance to school has negative effect on child educational attainment. To explore the inconsistency in effect of these factors across region and across gender, separate analysis is conducted for urban, rural, male and female sample. The results of gender specific analysis indicate that income of the household, region of residence (urban) and annual school fee are the main factors causing gender disparity whereas estimates at regional level analysis show that parental education, agricultural land ownership and, distance to school are the factors responsible for regional disparity in child educational attainment.

“…We could argue that the Islamic banking market share can be correlated with bank-specific effects such as managerial style and risk aversion, and therefore it is endogenous. Accordingly, following Kafle et al (2018) and Lepetit et al (2018), we also apply the HT estimator. Finally, we incorporate dynamics in our model specification by including the lagged dependent variable and then estimating the model using the system GMM estimator.…”

This paper empirically analyses the role of Islamic banking in financial intermediation costs as measured by net interest margins for a leading dual banking country, Malaysia. Controlling for theoretically motivated determinants of the margins, the paper compares the interest/financing margins of conventional and Islamic banks and examines the impacts of Islamic banking presence on bank margins. The analysis provides evidence of the higher margins of Islamic banks compared to those of conventional banks. Further, the difference in bank margins between the two types of banks can be attributed to differences in market power, operating costs, and diversification. Finally, Islamic banking presence or penetration, as represented by the ratio of Islamic financing to aggregate bank credit/financing and, alternatively, the share of Islamic banking assets, is robustly associated with lower bank margins, on average. These results bear important implications for the development of the Islamic banking industry and in fostering the efficient allocation of financial resources by the banking system.

“…We deem the HT estimator to be most fitting since it is able to allow for time-invariant variables as well as addressing the endogeneity concern. It has been commonly applied in a panel-data settings similar to the present study (Kafle, Jollife, & Winter-Nelson, 2018;Lepetit, Meslier, Strobel, & Wardhana, 2018). Table 2 reports the baseline results from estimating Equation 1 in which the share of Islamic financing represents Islamic banking presence.…”

Islamic Banking and Bank Performance in Malaysia: An Empirical Analysis

This paper examines the performance of Malaysia’s banking sector and its relationship to the presence of Islamic banking in the country. More specifically, by controlling for the theoretically relevant determinants of bank performance we compare the efficiency, profitability and risk of Islamic banks to conventional banks and examine the spillover effects of Islamic banking penetration on bank performance. To these ends, we adopt a panel modelling approach. Taking note that our focal variables comprise the time-invariant Islamic banking dummy and potentially endogenous Islamic banking share, we apply the Hausman–Taylor (HT) instrumental-variable estimator in the analysis. Our results indicate that Islamic banks in Malaysia are less profitable than their conventional counterparts and that Islamic banking penetration is associated with lower bank profitability. However, the increasing presence of Islamic banking appears to make Malaysian banks less risky and, with limited evidence, more efficient. Finally, the efficiency–risk trade-off seems to have potential as the Islamic banking portion of the sector increases in size. These results are reasonably robust compared to alternative specifications of the model.
