Abstract: This paper examines the effects of various types of bank regulatory capital on the profitability and the efficiency of conventional and Islamic banks. Using a sample of 656 banks from 1999 to 2013, we find that regulatory capital is positively associated with the efficiency and the profitability of the two bank types, although the results are stronger for conventional banks. The findings also suggest that Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB) capital guidelines are more effective in improving the performance of Islamic banks than Basel Committee on Banking and Supervision (BCBS) capital guidelines. \textcopyright Presses de Sciences Po.
