- PublicationIslamic corporate finance: capital structureMohd Rasid, Mohamed Eskandar Shah; Ajim Uddin; Mohammad Ashraful Ferdous Chowdhury (Taylor & Francis, 2019)
The capital structure choices of a firm not only determine the current value of the firm, but also largely determine its long-term survival. Modigliani and Miller's seminal 1958 paper explicates conventional firms' capital structure choices. However, we are yet to develop a solid theoretical framework about the financing decisions of Islamic firms.
