Possibility of Using Typical Examples for Empirical Analysis in Islamic Economic System

The empirical methods have special position in methodology of economics. One of the important problems in Islamic economic methodology is the possibility of finding a typical example for empirical analysis in Islamic economic system. The paper attempts to analyze whether the economic systems in Moslem communities are relevent examples for Islamic economic system. First, we used the previous studies, and defined the concepts of Islamic system and economic system. Then, we discussed the existing argument for existance or absence of these typical examples. Using these accepted concepts, the subject was analyzed rigorously. It is concluded that in the first 40 yaers of Islamic era, the Islamic economic system was dominant. However, in the other periods, there only existed some Islamic economic activities by governments which could be used as experiences of Islamic economic system.
