An updated version of her doctoral dissertation, this volume extends the data from 2003 to 2008 to include consideration of the current financial crisis. Although the study itself covers only
banks in the US and Western Europe, this volume further delves into Islamic banking, where the author has worked since the late 1990s. Early on she settles on making use of the Residual Income
Model (RIM) and the Institutional Brokers' Estimate System (I/B/E/S) and focuses on the relatively unexplored area of valuation of financial institutions. Overall, the author shows that
financial accounting data, along with other information in the public domain, can yield useful estimates of fundamental value. Includes a helpful glossary. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc.,
