The purpose of this paper is to identify the progress of green banking practices in the banking sector. It tries to examine the individual's perception and response to the green practices as adopted by the banks. This research is exploratory in nature and attempts to find the association between green banking awareness and customers. Structural Equation Model (SEM) is used as a measurement model and 400 responses were obtained using convenience sampling technique. The result of the study shows that customers are receptive of the change brought on by the banks' green initiative and are willing to adopt them. Education appears to have a significant positive impact on green banking awareness in the selected sample. The model determines that the green banking awareness is dependent on age, gender, occupation of the individual and is influenced by traits of sustainable banking practices.

Corruption takes place at two levels, firstly when tier one bureaucrats collude with households for tax evasion, and secondly when tier one and tier two bureaucrats collude to hide corruption. This paper determines that at high levels of corruption, there is low development, and at a low incidence of corruption, there is high development. This paper postulates that for a developing country like Pakistan, low tax collection due to poor institutional decentralisation leads to low economic growth and development.

The aim is twofold: to (i) identify individual and country-level factors that affect nascent and potential entrepreneurs and (ii) see how regional income levels and the degree of development affect entrepreneurship (of both the opportunity and necessity varieties), eventually contributing to innovation and economic growth. We investigate the effect of total early-stage entrepreneurial activity on entrepreneurial framework conditions at the regional level and then evaluate the impact of education, age, gender and entrepreneurial ability on potential entrepreneurs, nascent entrepreneurs and baby business owners to examine the entrepreneurial startup process.
