Equity of Incentives: Agent-Based Explorations of How Social Networks Influence the Efficacy of Programs to Promote Solar Adoption

Effect of incentive programs on distributional equity: integrated versus segregated social networks.

DV = difference in avg. wait time (smaller values signify greater equity)

Note: the table reports results of OLS regression model with difference in average wait time (distributional equity) as the dependent variable. For dummy variable effects, the simulation with no incentive programs is the left-out category. p < 0.001; p < 0.01; p < 0.05.
