Financial performance of socially responsible investing : what have we learned? A meta‐analysis.Christophe Revelli & Jean-Laurent Viviani - 2014 - Business Ethics: A European Review 24 (2):158-185.details With a meta-analysis of 85 studies and 190 experiments, the authors test the relationship between socially responsible investing and financial performance to determine whether including corporate social responsibility and ethical concerns in portfolio management is more profitable than conventional investment policies. The study also analyses the influence of researcher methodologies with respect to several dimensions of SRI on the effects identified. The results indicate that the consideration of corporate social responsibility in stock market portfolios is neither a weakness nor a (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 21 citations
Islamic corporate financing: does it promote profit and loss sharing?Marizah Minhat & Nazam Dzolkarnaini - 2016 - Business Ethics: A European Review 25 (4):482-497.details Islamic financing instruments can be categorised into profit and loss/risk sharing and non-participatory instruments. Although profit and loss sharing instruments such as musharakah are widely accepted as the ideal form of Islamic financing, prior studies suggest that alternative instruments such as murabahah are preferred by Islamic banks. Nevertheless, prior studies did not explore factors that influence the use of Islamic financing among non-financial firms. Our study fills this gap and contributes new knowledge in several ways. First, we find no evidence (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 4 citations
The Ethical Mutual Fund Performance Debate: New Evidence from Canada.Rob Bauer, Jeroen Derwall & Rogér Otten - 2007 - Journal of Business Ethics 70 (2):111-124.details Although the academic interest in ethical mutual fund performance has developed steadily, the evidence to date is mainly sample-specific.

In order to overcome the methodological deficiencies most prior papers suffered from, we use performance measurement approaches in the spirit of Carhart (1997, Journal of Finance 52(1): 57–82) and Ferson (...)

Does Shari ’ah Screening Cause Abnormal Returns? Empirical Evidence from Islamic Equity Indices‘.Dawood Ashraf - 2016 - Journal of Business Ethics 134 (2):209-228.details Islamic equity funds are subject to the screening criteria for stock selection imposed by the principles of Islamic jurisprudence. Equities must pass three basic screens: revenue source, business activity, and financial factors to be included in an Islamic fund. However, screening criteria are not universal especially for the financial factors. One can use financial ratios based on either the book-value of total assets or the market-value of equity for screening of stocks. This may not only result in a different portfolio (...)

Socially responsible investment: insights from Shari'a departments in Islamic financial institutions.Shakir Ullah, Dima Jamali & Ian A. Harwood - 2014 - Business Ethics 23 (2):218-233.details Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) are emerging as prominent players in the financial world and are increasingly known for their conservative socially responsible investment (SRI). Being the Shari'a regulators and monitors of IFIs, the Shari'a departments are expected to implement the Islamic perspective of SRI – drawn from Shari'a principles – in their respective institutions. The purpose of this paper is to develop an SRI framework applicable to IFIs and other Shari'a compliant entities and assess its applicability within Shari'a departments of (...)
