This book addresses contemporary empirical issues in Islamic stock
markets including volatility, efficiency and Sukuk defaults. The studies

counterparts. The authors provide up-to-date, robust, accurate, reliable
empirical enquiries addressing current issues of stock markets as well
as providing up to date information and statistics to support future
development and research. The book also covers a chapter on the current
trends in research in Islamic capital markets, which analyses some
recent and leading works to highlight and indicate the gaps in research
that require further exploration. This book will be of value to all
those who wish to gain a more thorough understanding of research in
Islamic capital markets and the major topics in the field.
