L’investissement conforme à la Charia est-il socialement responsable ?
2019
Cette étude propose une réflexion inédite sur la pertinence d’inclure l’ICC dans la sphère de l’ISR. Nous établissons une comparaison à la fois qualitative et quantitative entre ces deux types d’investissement pour comprendre dans quelle mesure l’ICC se distingue de l’ISR. Les résultats révèlent une surperformance financière de l’ICC en période de crise en dépit d’une sous-performance sociétale. Nous concluons que, bien que l’ICC obéisse à une certaine conception de l’ISR, la non-inclusion des considérations ESG dans ses règles de management actuelles devrait conduire les communautés académique et professionnelle à le traiter en tant que type d’investissement à part entière.
The financial performance of listed companies in pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
2021
[EN] Socially responsible companies whose values are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) contribute to creating wealth and long-term economic and social value. This alignment leads to a competitive advantage based on the triple bottom line that enhances financial performance. In this paper, fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) is used to identify the configurations of conditions that lead to high or low financial performance (return on equity) for a sample of companies in the IBEX 35. Firms should adopt business models that embrace the SDGs because sustainability-based models can ensure not only the present but also the future of generations…

How Performant Are the Premium Companies Listed on BSE? A Financial Performance Analysis from a Value Creation Perspective
2018
In order to analyze the potential of listed companies, the scientific literature suggests modern indicators that are built using value creation concepts. The attention of specialists, both theoreticians and practitioners, is directed towards the approach of company’s performance based on the created value. Traditional management based on analyzing and interpreting accounting data from financial statements has proved a reduced capacity to evaluate and express in a clear and precise manner the real performances of companies. Over time, the financial ratios used to quantify the value created by companies as expression of their performance were in multiple forms, becoming more and more comprehe…

Gender bias in microfinance
2013
Preprint of an article published by the Journal of Development Studies with the title "Focus on women in microfinance institutions" We provide empirical evidence on focusing on women in microfinance and its consequences for microfinance institutions (MFIs). Based on a global dataset, the results indicate that a focus on women is associated with group-lending methods, international orientation, smaller loans, and non-commercial legal status. We find that a focus on women significantly improves repayment but does not enhance overall financial performance because of higher relative costs. Moreover, the higher relative costs do not stem from servicing women per se but from the smaller loans offered t…
Study on the financial performance of companies operating in the pharmaceutical industry in romania
2016
Abstract The study aims at determining the financial performance of companies in the pharmaceutical industry between 2009 and 2014 by means of the indicator of the financial return rate, using multiple linear regressions as research method. By analysing the evolution of the share of companies in the pharmaceutical industry based on the trend of the financial rate of return, we can estimate that the number of entities that resort to supporting the financial activities from loans and liabilities is growing in the period under analysis. This is due mainly to the liquidity crisis faced by entities, as a result of the high recovery duration of debts. Also, using the multiple linear regression we…
