size, as the independent variable in this study, is measured by natural logarithm of total assets. In addition, this study also uses financing ratio, capital ratio, nonperforming financing, GDP growth rate and inflation rate as control variables. The result shows that the size has a positive and significant effect on performance in small banks. By examining the effect of bank size on performance of Indonesian Islamic rural banks, this study is expected to fill the gap in literature of Islamic financial institutions in Indonesia, especially the Islamic rural banks. |
