Environmental Preferences and Peer Effects in the Diffusion of Solar Photovoltaic Panels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivation Policies to promote solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption have been gaining momentum throughout the world, as concerns over global climate change and national security externalities continue to grow. In the US: 30% solar energy federal investment tax credit. Yet we understand very little about the process of diffusion of this technology.

متن کاملPeer Effects in the Diffusion of Solar Photovoltaic Panels
Social interaction (peer) effects are recognized as a potentially important factor in the diffusion of new products. In the case of environmentally friendly goods or technologies, both marketers and policy makers are interested in the presence of causal peer effects due to the social spillovers that can expedite adoption. We study the diffusion of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels in California, a...
