Household investment has become more important in modern economies. This research builds a behavioural model of investment using a quantitative approach.

The data are collected from 400 heads of household through a structured interview. A sample is selected by a multistage technique. It applies a Structural Equation Modelling to answer the research problem. This paper is successful in constructing a good structural and measurement model to explain the behaviour of the dependent variables in the model.
