Subject : Secondary Databases and their Use in Research in Islamic Economics 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : The use of secondary databases is an efficient and economic means by which to analyze data in empirical research. The speed and relatively low cost of secondary databases in the field of Islamic economics make them ideal for good research outcomes. However, no or little attention has been paid to the use of secondary data in the experimental research in Islamic economics. The aim of this paper is to stimulate the interest of Islamic economics and finance researchers in using secondary data, either as a substitute or complement for primary data, bearing in mind both the benefits and shortcomings of doing so. It is suggested that secondary databases not only offer advantages in terms of cost and effort, but also that in certain cases their use may overcome some of the difficulties that particularly afflict Islamic economics researchers in the gathering of primary data. In order to help Islamic economists respond to this call for greater consideration of the potential offered by secondary databases, the wide variety of forms that such data may take is indicated and a number of themes regarding their use and promising role discussed.
