摘要
We investigate the relation between political risk and the volatility of Islamic and conventional banks' assets. Using an international sample of 34,452 and 1245 bank-year observations of conventional and Islamic banks respectively over the period 1999-2013, we show that conventional banks are more exposed to political risk compared to Islamic banks. Our results are robust to the use of different country specific factors, sub-sample analysis, alternative measures of asset quality and bank profitability.
