Abstract
This study ranks 1235 companies operating in 10 different Islamic countries according to their degree of Shari'ah convergence and investigates the relationship between a firm's market-to-book ratio and convergence to Shari'ah rules. We determine Shari'ah screening variables by reviewing existing Shari'ah market indices and their screening rules; variable weights are determined using the criterion impact loss (CILOS) method, a well-known, multicriteria decision-making technique. The results show that the degree of Shari'ah convergence has a statistically significant negative effect on the market-to-book ratio, which can be seen as a proxy for the market value of equity.
