# kaal:position:2026-07-31-1831

**Affirmed position.** Investment Incentives under Price-Cap Regulation should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that All regression models show positive and predominantly statistically significant coefficients, with 18 out of 30 coefficients in the entire sample statistically significant. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through regulatory lag, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- five regression specifications applied to the entire sample
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: mapping review before claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
