The purpose of this study is to teach the basic concepts of Islamic finance. The survey approach used is qualitative. The literature study used was trying to collect data and information by using various reading materials found from various books, magazines, documents, memos, and historical anecdotes related to the research. To have a greater impact on the economy, the Islamic financial system must have a more significant portion of total financial assets, which is at least 20 percent.

    Mission Investing in Europe – A Meta-analysis

    Get PDF
    Unter dem Oberbegriff “Mission Investing” (MI) versteht sich die Praxis bei Nonprofit Organisationen (NPO), das organisationseigene Sachziel in die Anlagestrategie mit einzuschliessen. Trotz stets steigender PopularitĂ€t fehlt dem Konzept bisher weitgehend eine wissen schaftliche Fundierung. Mittels einer begrifflichen Diskussion identifiziert dieser Beitrag SchlĂŒsselmerkmale des Anlagekonzepts. Diese Merkmale umfassen unter anderem den Einschluss von non-monetĂ€ren Anlagezielen, welche eng mit dem Organisationszweck verwandt sind, sowie die Zielsetzung der effektiveren Umsetzung des Organisationszwecks durch die VerknĂŒpfung von Anlage - und Förderpolitik. Weiter vergleicht dieser Beitrag im Rahmen einer Metaanalyse neu erschienene Daten zum aktuellen Umsetzungsstand von MI in Europa. Ausgehend von den drei Instrumenten des MI(Screening, Shareholder Advocacy und Proactive Mission Investing) wird dieses derzeit am hĂ€ufigsten mittels Screening umgesetzt

    Measuring confidence and uncertainty during the financial crisis : evidence from the CFS survey

    Get PDF
    The CFS survey covers individual situations of banks and other companies of the financial sector during the financial crisis. This provides a rare possibility to analyze appraisals, expectations and forecast errors of the core sector of the recent turmoil. Following standard ways of aggregating individual survey data, we first present and introduce the CFS survey by comparing CFS indicators of confidence and predicted confidence to ifo and ZEW indicators. The major contribution is the analysis of several indicators of uncertainty. In addition to well established concepts, we introduce innovative measures based on the skewness of forecast errors and on the share of ‘no response’ replies. Results show that uncertainty indicators fit quite well with pattern of real and financial time series of the time period 2007 to 2010.

    Multidimensional Wealth Inequality: A Hybrid Approach toward Distributional National Accounts in Europe

    Get PDF
    Distributional National Accounts (DINA) link macroeconomic aggregates with distributional information enabling a better understanding of distributional implications of macroeconomic developments and facilitate cross-country comparisons of inequality. This article proposes a practically feasible framework to allocate components of wealth to different sections of society and serves two functions: a comprehensive measure of net worth and its distribution, and a link to macroeconomic statistics. The article compiles DINA by breaking down twelve components of marketable wealth by wealth and income groups, as well as three major functions of wealth for Austria, Finland, France, Germany and Spain. The three functions of wealth considered are (i) precautionary saving, (ii) own use of housing assets and (iii) income generation via the ownership of businesses or landlordship. The resulting multidimensional wealth distributions reveal large heterogeneity in inequality and help understand (institutional) differences across countries and time. Results are top-tail adjusted using Pareto and Generalized Pareto models, and combining survey data (HFCS) with rich lists, or top wealth shares derived from tax data and leaked information on wealth held in offshore tax havens.Series: INEQ Working Paper Serie
