Abstract

This paper examines how policy makers could become better incrementalists by taking a fresh look at the concept of incrementalism. In particular, the paper explores and reframes the factors that mitigate the practice of incrementalism on Green Power Electricity (GPE) adoption. This study thus offers potential lessons on how and why incrementalism is an integral part of the way policy makers make resource allocation decisions.
