Extending the theory of planned behaviour with application to renewable energy investment: the moderating effect of tax incentives

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to deploy and expand the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model with application to renewable energy investment by incorporating the component of tax incentives (TIN). This will serve as an additional measure in understanding the conventional energy stakeholde...
