The Demand For Counterfeits - an Extended Tpb Approach With Empirical Evidence From Seven Countries
This paper aims to broaden the knowledge on why consumers buy counterfeit products, a global concern to manufacturers of original products. Extended through the concept of self-identity, the Theory of Planned Behavior is used as theoretical underpinning in a seven-country study. Overall, findings support the usefulness of the extended TBP to explain the demand for fakes in a multi-country setting. A more in-depth look into individual linkages reveals national idiosyncrasies and provides interesting avenues for future research.
