“…Ladenburg and Dubgaard (2007) show a similar result for offshore wind parks, and Jones and Eiser (2010) identify this effect to be especially pronounced for residents who are very concerned about landscape intrusions. Drechsler et al (2011) and Molnarova et al (2012) report analogous findings, whereas DevineWright (2005) and Ladenburg et al (2013) also review studies presenting no or a reverse relationship. Taken together, however, the literature suggests that proximity between households and wind turbines negatively affects attitudes towards installations.…”

This series presents research findings based either directly on data from the German SocioEconomic Panel study (SOEP) or using SOEP data as part of an internationally comparable data set (e.g. CNEF, ECHP, LIS, LWS, CHER/PACO). SOEP is a truly multidisciplinary household panel study covering a wide range of social and behavioral sciences: economics, sociology, psychology, survey methodology, econometrics and applied statistics, educational science, political science, public health, behavioral genetics, demography, geography, and sport science. Terms of use: Documents inThe decision to publish a submission in SOEPpapers is made by a board of editors chosen by the DIW Berlin to represent the wide range of disciplines covered by SOEP. There is no external referee process and papers are either accepted or rejected without revision. Papers appear in this series as works in progress and may also appear elsewhere. They often represent preliminary studies and are circulated to encourage discussion. Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character.

AbstractWe investigate the effect of the physical presence of wind turbines on residential wellbeing in Germany, using panel data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and a unique novel panel data set on more than 20,000 wind turbines for the time period between 2000 and 2012. Using a Geographical Information System (GIS), we calculate the proximity between households and the nearest wind turbine as the most important determinant of their disamenities, e.g. visual interference into landscape aesthetics.Our unique novel panel data set on wind turbines, which was collected at the regional level, includes their exact geographical coordinates and construction dates. This allows estimating the causal effect of the physical presence of wind turbines on residential wellbeing, using a difference-in-differences design. To ensure comparability of the treatment and control group, we apply propensity-score and novel spatial matching techniques based on exogenous weather data and geographical locations of residence, respectively.We show that the construction of a wind turbine within a treatment radius of 4,000 m...

“…Lothian, 2008;Molnarova et al, 2012;Wolsink, 2006); but also the size of wind farms is a factor, as small-scale development tends to be more positively viewed than largescale development (e.g. Devine-Wright, 2005;Molnarova et al, 2012;Thayer and Freeman, 1987;Wolsink, 1989). Residents and tourists are also believed to have different viewpoints (Devlin, 2002;Frantál and Kunc, 2011), although findings from Scotland suggest the contrary (Warren and McFadyen, 2010).…”

“…Research has shown that the fit of wind turbines in the landscape varies significantly according to a number of factors, mainly the type and aesthetic quality of the landscape at stake: potential negative impacts on the images of landscapes are lower in unattractive, industrial or modern agriculture landscapes (e.g. Lothian, 2008;Molnarova et al, 2012;Wolsink, 2006); but also the size of wind farms is a factor, as small-scale development tends to be more positively viewed than largescale development (e.g. Devine-Wright, 2005;Molnarova et al, 2012;Thayer and Freeman, 1987;Wolsink, 1989).…”
