This figure demonstrates the quantitative performance of the calibrated model by comparing model-generated outcomes (represented by orange and purple diamonds) with empirical data (represented by blue and green circles) across different credit line usage rates. In both graphs, the horizontal axis categorizes credit line usage rates into five groups, ranging from 0–20% to 80–100%. In Graph (a), the vertical axis shows the sensitivity of green actions to credit usage rate, while in Graph (b), the y-axis represents the sensitivity of default rates to green energy production.
