Abstract

This study examines the effects of the Islamic mode of financing on the innovation capacity of SMEs in Cameroon using a sample of 1358 SMEs. Results of the multivariate probit model indicate that Islamic finance enhances process innovation, product innovation, and marketing innovation. While the effects on organizational innovation are positive, they are statistically insignificant. Our main results equally indicate that the effects of Islamic finance on the innovation capacity of SMEs are more pronounced on technological innovation (process and product) than non-technological innovation (marketing and organizational). Policymakers are encouraged to put in place the necessary mechanisms for the promotion of Islamic finance such as the enacting of laws that ensure the creation of full-fledged Islamic banks, and raising awareness about the benefits and specificities of this mode of finance for the financing of SME innovation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
