Abstract

This study examines the impact of environmental awareness and pro-environmental behavior on renewable investment intentions and the moderating role of environmental concerns. Using a sample of 350 retail investors, we find that environmental awareness and pro-environmental behavior increase renewable investment intentions. Moreover, environmental concerns moderate the relationship between environmental awareness and renewable investment intentions. However, we find no significant moderating effect of environmental concern in the case of pro-environmental behavior. Overall, our research contributes to the emerging literature on renewable energy investments in contributing circular economy.

期刊介绍： Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry. Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution. Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
