    <p>(A) shows the recessive model and (B) shows the dominant model. Studies are of either the rs909253 SNP (A/G alleles) or the rs1041981 SNP (A/C alleles). The hypothesis-generating study [<a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.0020107#pgen-0020107-b005" target="_blank">5</a>] has been excluded from the combined estimates for all other studies that tested the hypothesised association. Size of the squares is proportional to the variance of the log odds ratio, and horizontal lines represent the 99% CIs, and the width of the diamonds represents the 95% CIs. The associations have not been adjusted for age or sex.</p

    Peer Effects and Voluntary Green Building Certification

    No full text
    Empirical evidence is provided to show that peer effects have statistically significant and positive impacts on the diffusion of green building certificates. Application and approval records of green certificates by commercial buildings in NY and AZ are used. The challenge of self-selection is addressed by the usage of fixed effects and the challenge of reflection is addressed by the time lag delay between a building’s application and its approval. Empirical results show that an additional approved LEED certificate within a zip code will increase the probability of a commercial building in the same zip code to apply for a LEED certificate by 3–4 percentage points; an additional approved Energy Star certificate within a zip code will increase the probability of a commercial building in the same zip code to apply for an Energy Star certificate by 1–2 percentage points
