Abstract

Many studies have been undertaken to investigate the profitability determinants of conventional banks. These studies have established a number of profitability theories that have been well accepted in the banking literature. While this subject is still very much alive among conventional bank researchers, there have not been any studies made for Islamic banks. The objective of this study is to examine whether the profitability theories of conventional banks apply to Islamic banks. The results of this study are somewhat mixed. The differences imply that not all profitability theories are applicable to Islamic banks and support the hypothesis that there are doctrinal differences between Islamic banks and conventional banks.
