Title: Determinants of Islamic banking growth In Pakistan

This proposal is basically involves running just one regression. This regression equation is not well-motivated. That is, the variables in the regression do not have clear causal relation with the dependent variable. Furthermore, there are very important variables which are missing from the equation. Furthermore, the sample size is too small to allow the regression to give us any useful information. It is a typical nonesense regression, and the proposal also suffers from the fallacy of thinking that running one regression constitutes a thesis.

Remember that the student should master a body of literature, and be an expert on one topic as a result of the research carried out. I dont see that the student will acquire a solid understanding of anything at all by carrying out this work. Furthermore, it seems irrelevant for policy decisions as well.
