Abstract

This thesis investigates the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure on cost efficiency, financial stability, and dividend policy of Islamic banks in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries (GCC). The thesis adopts a single-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) model and accounting-based proxies. Also, it develops a comprehensive CSR index to estimate the volume of the CSR disclosure of GCC' Islamic banks. The empirical findings indicate a lack of significance between the overall index and cost efficiency proxies. However, disaggregated analyses indicate that the sub-dimensions are significantly related to the cost efficiency proxies. In addition, the aggregated and disaggregated analyses show that the CSR disclosure indices are significantly related to financial stability and dividend policy proxies. These findings are robust after considering for endogeneity issues.
