Abstract
Purpose
This scholarly paper aims to explore the interconnections between the halal industry and Islamic green finance while also offering valuable insights and recommendations to various stakeholders, such as government bodies, national planning boards, financial institutions and researchers, concerning the realm of Islamic green finance.
Design/methodology/approach
In total, 783 studies have been indexed in Scopus. However, within the field of economics and business, encompassing the period from 2009 to 2022, only 182 documents meet the specified criteria, which use the “halal AND industry” term from the journal source type. This study uses the VoSViewer software to comprehensively map, synthesize and analyze the available data.
Findings
Notably, research endeavors dedicated to the halal industry have shown a consistent upward trend. The research encompasses five prominent thematic areas, specifically halal certification, consumers of halal products, halal food, the halal industry and the halal food industry. The findings also highlight the existence of a relationship between the halal industry and Islamic green finance, suggesting that Islamic financial institutions possess significant potential to attract investor interest in the halal industry through the application of Islamic green finance, a practice already underway in several countries worldwide.
Practical implications
The findings of this study can serve as a valuable reference for the government and national planning board, enabling them to effectively incorporate the advancement of the halal industry in tandem with Islamic green finance as a pertinent means of funding, which holds significant relevance in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals. Moreover, finance institutions are presented with a favorable prospect to foster the growth of Islamic financial instruments, thereby bolstering their role in facilitating the development of the halal industry sector.
Originality/value
This scholarly investigation represents the inaugural bibliometric study delving into the intricate dynamics between the halal industry and Islamic green finance. Significantly, it sheds light on the profound correlation existing between these domains, thereby providing substantial evidence to substantiate their interrelatedness.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this research is to explain the financing dilemma of China's strategic emerging industries and improve their financing efficiency, seize the commanding heights of economic science and technology to provide theoretical support.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper selects the companies listed under strategic emerging industry during the period of 2010–2017 as the research object and used the data envelopment analysis method (DEA) to evaluate the financing efficiency of China's strategic emerging industries and selects the tobit analysis method to find out the factors affecting its financing efficiency.
Findings
The results show that the average financing efficiency of listed companies in strategic emerging industries between 2010 and 2017 is 0.7792, and the level of financing efficiency of strategic emerging industries is still at a low level. Among them, the bio-pharmaceutical industry and the energy-saving and environmental protection industry have the highest comprehensive level, and the high-end equipment manufacturing industry and the new energy industry have the lowest level of financing efficiency. Among the factors affecting the financing efficiency of strategic emerging industries, the asset-liability ratio, financial expenses and cash ratio and financing efficiency are negatively correlated, and the net asset income is positively correlated with the growth rate of the main business income.
Originality/value
This paper measures the financing efficiency of China's strategic emerging industries, then explores the influencing factors of the financing efficiency of strategic emerging industries and tries to provide important reference values for the improvement of the financing efficiency of China's strategic emerging industries at a practical level.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of financing the outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) by building a three-level framework residing on host country market imperfections, ownership advantages of parent firm investing abroad and the industry to which it belongs.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper used random effects probit model.
Findings
Parent debt financing of OFDI by Indian parent firms is driven by the credit market development of the host country, the uniqueness of the industry to which parent firm belongs and systematic risk. Debt-oriented firms are found to invest more via parent debt.
Research limitations/implications
The limitations of this study are as follows: –first, time period before 2008 could not be considered due to unavailability of data in the public domain. Second, the characteristics of foreign affiliates that spread across diverse host countries have not been factored in. Third, in the case of parent’s industry-level determinants, financial sector has not been included because the financing and risk-taking strategy of this sector are quite different from other sectors. Finally, the present study assumes financing decision to be centralized in the multinational system at the parent firm.
Practical implications
The practical implications of this study are as follows: first, industry innovativeness must be taken as a guide by the Indian MNEs to finance their OFDI and they must provide equity. Second, the study suggests that Indian MNEs rely on their existing capital structure while financing their OFDI. Third, parent firms are found to follow the industry norms. Fourth, parent firms must finance their OFDI by considering the development of credit market in the host country. Fifth, host government must focus on improving the credit market development of their economy and not just reducing tax rates to attract FDI into their economy.
Originality/value
Empirically examining internal flows in a multinational system has limited the research in the area of financing the OFDI. The paper is one of the first attempts to formally develop a model of factors that shape financing of OFDI in case of one such emerging market – India.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper investigates how gender, ethnicity, and network membership interact to influence how small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owner-managers become aware of finance support programmes developed by government policy and/or support schemes advanced by the banking industry.
Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on expectation states theory (EST), we develop eight sets of hypotheses and employ the UK SME Finance Monitor data to test them using bivariate probit regression analysis.
Findings
In general, network membership increases awareness, but more so for government programmes. We also find no differences between female and male owner-managers when in networks. However, we identify in-network and out-network differences by ethnicity, with minority females seemingly better off than minority males.
Practical implications
Business networks are better for disseminating government programmes than industry-led programmes. For native White women, network membership can enhance policy awareness advantage further, whilst for minorities, networks significantly offset the big policy awareness deficits minorities inherently face. However, policy and practice need to address intersectional inequalities that remain in access to networks themselves, information access within networks, and the significant out-network deficits in awareness of support programmes afflicting minorities.
Originality/value
This study provides one of the first large-scale empirical examinations of intersectional mechanisms in awareness of government and industry-led enterprise programmes. Our novel and nuanced findings advance our understanding of the ways in which gender and ethnicity interact with network dynamics in entrepreneurship.

Abstract
Purpose
Islamic finance and Halal product sectors are thriving successfully. This chapter is a general review of the perception of Asian consumers on Islamic finance and Halal sectors in the global Halal economy.
Methodology/approach
The first section will briefly describe the Halal concept in both Islamic finance and Halal industries, and the growth of both sectors in Asian countries. The second part highlights the review of Asian consumers’ perception towards Islamic finance products and Halal products.
Findings
The review found that the consumers’ perception towards the Islamic finance products and Halal products is distinctive. This is due to the diversity of Asian countries in terms of geography, religion, culture, ethnic, school of thoughts (madzahib), income per capita and government’s involvement.
Originality/value
The third part of the chapter concentrates on planning towards Halal marketing, which involves the move and future challenges in different layers of industries to gear up and strengthen the Halal economy.

Abstract
Purpose
Aims to ascertain the extent to which industry appears to influence the financing behaviour of a sample of Australian small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs).
Design/methodology/approach
The research employs data for several thousand SMEs taken from the Australian federal government's Business Longitudinal Survey undertaken over four financial years from 1994‐1995 to 1997‐1998. The principal analytical technique employed is logistic regression modelling with various financial structure measures as dependent variables, and with industry as the independent variable of central interest.
Findings
The research findings reported in the paper provide substantial empirical evidence that cross‐industry differences in financing behaviour do exist even after controlling for other relevant influences on SME financing choices such as enterprise size, business age, profitability, growth, asset structure and risk. The key finding is that industry does not simply proxy for one or more of these other factors, but is an important influence in its own right.
Research limitations/implications
There are evidently effects arising from the fundamental nature of industries that require better understanding before a reliable prescriptive position on SME financing can be reached. What these effects are cannot really be ascertained using the research data and methods employed in this study, which give a relatively superficial perspective on the matter. A need for more in‐depth qualitative investigation is indicated.
Originality/value
The main implication of this research for scholars and policy‐makers concerned with SMEs is clearly the need to regard industry as an important independent influence on financing behaviour.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine whether industry‐specific factors play a more significant role in the financing decisions of firms than firm‐specific characteristics; and to determine the degree of uniformity that exists between a firm's capital structure and industry financing patterns in Nigeria.
Design/methodology/approach
The described study makes use of fixed effects panel regression techniques. The dataset, which covers the period 1990‐2006, comes from a sample of 71 non‐financial firms quoted in the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
Findings
The study finds support for both the pecking order theory and the trade‐off theory of capital structure in Nigeria. Firms/industries that are more profitable have less proportion of debt, and those that have a higher level of asset tangibility use more long‐term finances. Empirically, the study reveals that the set of factors that explain firm‐specific determinants of capital structure do not statistically and significantly explain the way industries follow finance.
Practical implications
The study affirms the need for firms to invest reasonable resources in setting up capital structure policies, rather than herd along industry patterns.
Originality/value
Though studies on industry herding and financial leverage are not new, the paper gives interesting insights into the nature of the relationship in an atmosphere of shortage of capital supply and poor corporate performance.

Abstract
Purpose
Starting from the theoretical mechanism of profit sharing between finance and the real economy, this paper reviews and analyzes the profitability of China's banking industry and makes a horizontal comparison with the banking industry of the United States, Japan, and Germany.
Design/methodology/approach
Based on the panel threshold model, it is found that there is a dual-threshold asymmetric effect between banking profit and the growth of real economy. When the net profit rate of the banking industry is lower than 0.491%, the increase in banking profitability will inhibit the growth of real economy due to profit grabbing; when the rate falls within the range of 0.491–0.801%, the increase in bank profitability is conducive to the growth of real economy.
Findings
Finance and the real economy are in the most comfortable symbiotic state; when the rate is higher than 0.801%, the continued increase in bank profitability will weaken the promotion effect of finance on the real economy, but bank profitability and the growth of real economy are still in a symbiotic state of positive promotion.
Originality/value
The promotion effect of China's bank profitability to the growth of real economy has shifted from the suboptimal state to the optimal range as a whole, which is attributed to the strong deleveraging and strict supervision of the Chinese government after 2016, the timely and decisive “stepping on the brakes”, pulling the financial sector back from the “illusion” caused by “self-circulated” profits and preventing it from harming the real economy.
