Abstract: The construction of wind turbines is a highly contested political issue due to the perceived negative externalities that these turbines create. Opposition groups share common complaints and concerns that nearby turbines will negatively affect their property values. This paper analyzes how the installation of a wind turbine affects nearby property values at the zip code level. Using a difference-in-difference model across zip codes throughout the entire continental United States, this paper finds results that suggest there is no perceivable effect from the construction of wind turbines on the price per square foot of nearby homes.
