Size matters: How vehicle body type affects consumer preferences for electric vehicles (2017, methodology): “Mau et al. (2008) employ an a priori segmentation of respondents by different levels of alternative-fuel vehicle market share to capture the ‘‘neighbour effect” of social and technological diffusion while Helveston et al. (2015) and Tanaka et al. (2014) segment their samples by country.”

The spatial pattern of demand in the early market for electric vehicles: Evidence from the United Kingdom (2018, background): “This finding is potentially indicative of an imitation effect, whereby citizens in nearby locations have a tendency to mimic the taste for EVs displayed by their neighbours (Mau et al. 2008).”
