<p>Operating in the competitive dual banking market, Islamic banks’ behavior often mimics conventional banks. One of the ways to do this is by managing their earnings so that their deposit rate of return could be closely pegged to the conventional banks’ deposit interest rate. Farook et al. (2012) define this term as “profit distribution management” or PDM. This paper investigates whether PDM practice in Islamic banks is affected by their market power. Using a sample of Islamic banks from 2009 to 2013 from Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country adopting dual banking market, we find that bank with a high market power are less engage in PDM. This means that, when Islamic banks are able to set high price of their banking product in the competitive market, they are already reach specific market position. In this case, Islamic banks is observed manage their earnings but in the lower intensity. We also provide empirical evidence that other factors such as governance structure and market share of Islamic banks are also matter for the PDM. Some policy implications are discussed.</p>

This research attempts to explore the impact of banking competition on financial stability employing a more precise measure of market power. It was found that Islamic banks are less stable and are enjoying lower market power. The analysis shows that higher market competition makes the banking sector vulnerable to defaults, supporting the “competition-fragility view”. This research finds no difference in the relationship for Islamic banks indicates that Islamic banks might be involved in traditional banking activities as conventional banks. The results are consistent and robust to different estimation approaches and subsamples. This research carries regulatory and policy implications.

ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) of banking industry requires both Islamic and conventional banking to improve their efficiency because the competition in banking market industry will be more intense. Therefore, this study aims to identify the type of hyphotesis of industrial organization which exists in Islamic and conventional banks in order to investigate their readiness for AEC. The research sampling consists of 10 Islamic banks and 10 conventional banks from January 2009 to December 2016. To measure x-efficiency and scale efficiency, this research uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Meanwhile, the concentration is measured by Lerner index. The hypothesis is tested by using panel regression. The result shows SCP (Structure-Conduct-Performance) hypothesis is closely applied to Islamic and conventional banks because market concentration significantly influences profitability. RMP (Relative Market Power) hypothesis is also closely applied to Islamic and conventional banking, this indicates Indonesian banking has market power in determining prices and this condition makes the profit higher. RES (Relative Efficiency Structure) and SES (Scale Efficiency Structure) hypothesis do not exist in both conventional and Islamic banks because x-efficiency and scale efficiency do not affect profitability, concentration, and  market share simultaneously. Market power and efficiency researches are commonly conducted in conventional banking, however there are only a few research in Islamic banking area. The novelty of this study is the comparison between conventional and Islamic banking in the term of market structure and efficiency.

So conventional banks in the short and long term can collect more banking funds in Indonesia. (3) In the short and long term capital in Islamic banks is higher than conventional banks. So Islamic banks in the short and long term dominate banking capital in Indonesia. (4) In the short and long term, inflation in conventional banks is higher compared to Islamic banks. So it can be said that conventional banks in the short and long term are influenced by inflationary shocks in Indonesia. (5) In the short-term and long-term economic growth in Islamic banks is higher than conventional banks. So it can be said that Islamic banks in the short and long term are influenced by the high and low level of Indonesia's economic growth.Keywords: Market Power, Capital Adequacy, Conventional and IslamicBanks, and Error Correction Model (ECM).

This study aimed to ascertain the factors that affect the Profit Distribution Management (PDM) practices employed by Islamic banks (IBs) to retain their market share. It further analysed whether the presence of Islamic corporate governance can smoothen the profit sharing mechanism followed by the IBs. The study utilized the panel data analysis technique to analyse the data collected from 40 full-fledged IBs for the period 2010-2017 from three different regions, that is, South Asia, Middle East and South East Asia. The findings of the study support the premise that third party funds, asset composition, capital adequacy and market share all have a significant and positive impact on the PDM practices of IBs. Moreover, Islamic corporate governance strengthens the relationship between market share and the PDM practices of IBs. The results of this study have policy implications for the regulators of IBs and financial institutions as they provide insight into the factors that affect the PDM practices of IBs.

Purpose – The expansion of the Islamic banking industry seems to accentuate the banking competition in MENA and Southeast Asia where conventional and Islamic banks coexist. In this context, the research aims\ to examine the competitive conditions and the market power of the conventional and Islamic banks during the period 2004-2009 in MENA and Southeast Asia region. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use a variety of structural and non-structural measures related to the traditional approach and the new empirical approach of the industrial organization. The methodology is based on set of measures of the competition and market power. The first measure is a set of concentration ratios (C3, C5) and Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI). The second measures are the Panzar and Ross H statistic and the Lerner index based on econometric estimations with the aim of evaluating the structure of market and measuring its power in terms of price setting. Findings – The results indicate that under the HHI index, both markets are low concentrated, while according to the concentration ratios, the Islamic market is considered as moderately concentrated. The estimations results, through the H-PR-statistic of Panzar and Ross related to degree of competition and the Lerner index of market power, indicate that both markets are characterized by a monopolistic competition and the Islamic banking expressed a high degree of market power. Research limitations/implications – The research focuses exclusively on the countries where the data are available and excludes the other countries where competition and market power might have different forms. Practical implications – In a competitive environment, each bank is required to analyze the structure of its market and competitive conditions, in order to develop a business strategy and effective action plans. In the context of the multiplication of the Islamic banks in the MENA and Southeast Asia, the enhancement of Islamic bank competitiveness by offering new products is determinant for their success. Originality/value – To the best of the authors' knowledge few studies have examined this subject in a comparative analysis between the Islamic and conventional banks. So the authors contribute to the literature on Islamic banking by considering a sample of Islamic and conventional banks operating in the same countries in order to examine the existence or not of difference between them.

We use a monthly dataset to analyze whether Islamic banks have greater market power compared with their conventional counterparts. Using a sample of Indonesian banks, we find that Islamic banks possess greater market power than conventional banks. This condition does not hold, however, when we compare state-owned Islamic and conventional banks. We also find some specific determinants of Islamic banks’ market power: the Ramadan holy month (positive impact), the proportion of profit-and-loss sharing in their financing (negative impact), and the presence of a Sharia board (positive impact). Interestingly, Ramadan benefits not only Islamic banks but also conventional banks. Our findings support prior literature emphasizing the role of religiosity in Islamic banks’ behavior.

Application of risk management techniques gain significant importance after the financial crises of 2008. Banks adopt contemporary risk management techniques to eliminate credit risk associated with the enlargement of their lending volume. The present study aims to analyze the impact of credit derivatives on lending/financing behavior of conventional and Islamic banks of Pakistan. The study used comparative analysis by employing random effect model for the sample of 20 conventional banks and pooled OLS regression on sample size of 5 Islamic banks for the period of 2006-2016. Results of the study show that conventional banks effectively increase their lending volumes by utilizing risk transfer techniques. However, Islamic banks are still at its infancy in utilizing risk transfer techniques due to shariah restrictions. The study recommends policy implications for Islamic bank to introduce innovative shariah compliant hedging instruments to boost their financing portfolios.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the economic substance of Islamic banks’ transaction as perceived by the employees and regulators of banks and the effect of such substance on the need for special accounting standards for Islamic banks. If there is a distinctive “Islamic economic substance”, then special accounting practices may be necessary such as the standards of the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative inquiry on one of the leading Islamic banks in the Middle East was conducted to investigate the economic substance of the bank’s main two transactions; the deposit system and Murabaha financing, as perceived by informants within one of the earliest Islamic banks and its regulators. Findings It is found that despite the belief that the transactions under examination were different from equivalents within conventional banking, practice within the bank was not consistent with such a belief. Informants largely perceived the economic reality of the investigated transaction as being not different from conventional banks’ transactions, and this would affect the need for special accounting and regulatory frameworks. Research limitations/implications This investigation is confined to informants working within one Islamic bank; their views and perceptions may not coincide with those working in other Islamic banks in the world. Practical implications The results of this investigation provide policy implications for Islamic banks, regulators and standards setters in regard to the need for special accounting standards for Islamic banks. Originality/value The paper is one of the first papers that uses a qualitative inquiry on the main transactions of Islamic banks and the related need for special accounting practices. The paper provides a new perspective on the debate over whether Islamic banking is genuinely innovative or is merely a replicate for conventional banking.
