The purpose of this paper is to test whether financial crises themselves provide some degree of ex post discipline. In other words, is there learning from the mistakes associated with crises? The authors test this hypothesis on credit growth, a frequent contributor to banking crises.

The study uses statistical tests (comparison of means) on a sample of 72 banking crises, the onset of which occurred between 1980 and 2008. Tests for significance of the difference are conducted using Kolmogorov–Smirnov equality in distribution tests.

The results show that real credit growth fell substantially (relative to average) by about 8 per cent points from pre- to post-crisis periods, and that average banking regulation and supervision strengthens after a crisis.

This paper provides empirical support for the proposition that while financial markets may fail to give sufficient warning signals before a financial crisis, they may discipline governments to undertake reforms in the aftermath of a crisis.

The recurrence of banking crises throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and in the more recent 2008‐09 global financial crisis, has led to an expanding empirical literature on crisis explanation and prediction. The purpose of this paper is to provide an analytical review of proxies for and important determinants of banking crises‐credit growth, financial liberalization, bank regulation and supervision.

The study surveys the banking crisis literature by comparing proxies for and measures of banking crises and policy‐related variables in the literature. Advantages and disadvantages of different proxies are discussed.

Disagreements about determinants of banking crises are in part explained by the difference in the chosen proxies used in empirical models. The usefulness of different proxies depends partly on constraints in terms of time and country coverage but also on what particular policy question is asked.

The study offers a comprehensive analysis of measurements of banking crises, credit growth, financial liberalization and banking regulations and concludes with an assessment of existing proxies and databases. Since, the review points to the choice of proxies that best fit specific research objectives, it should serve as a reference point for empirical researchers in the banking crisis area.

This paper aims to provide bibliometric data from previously published research in Islamic marketing. To assess the knowledge structure of research in Islamic marketing and to aid future research, several categories were analysed, such as the most influential authors, the keywords and the themes of the previously published research. The paper also analyses the content of the previously published research in this field to identify the gaps and provide future research direction.

Using a quali-quantitative approach known as meta-literature review, we analysed the Islamic marketing literature from 2001–2023. The authors reviewed and analysed 208 papers through bibliometric citation analysis (using R-Studio, VOSviewer and Excel) and content analysis.

The findings revealed that Malaysia is the most influential country researching Islamic Marketing, and most of the papers were published by the Journal of Islamic Marketing. “Islamic”, “Marketing” and “halal” are among the top three keywords used by the authors publishing in this field. It was found that the impactful authors in Islamic marketing are Wilson, Alserhan and Sandikci, and the impactful source is the Journal of Islamic Marketing. The authors also found that the past research in this field focuses on qualitative research methods, and the objective is more towards providing a general understanding of the concept of Islamic marketing, while the current research agenda is more towards behavioural study and uses quantitative analysis.

By identifying core journals, seminal papers and influential authors, researchers can gain insights into the intellectual structure of a discipline in this field. This study also supports decision-makers, such as funding agencies or policymakers, and assists in making informed decisions related to resource allocation and research priorities.

This comprehensive study examines previously published research and contributes to mapping knowledge domains in Islamic marketing. Reviewing and analysing the published research on Islamic marketing, the authors provide 11 future research questions to extend the research on this topic. The findings of this research benefit practitioners and researchers wishing to embark on research in this niche field.
