报告摘要：

To keep the earth average temperature below 1.5℃, wind energy is identified as one of the necessary paths to achieve the goal of net-zero carbon emissions. This study explores the impact of wind facilities on land values based on wind farm construction and land transaction datasets in China from 2005 to 2017. We implement a difference-in-difference approach to estimate the causal effects of the sitting of wind farms on land prices. Our results show that the siting of wind farms significantly impacts land transaction prices. On average, lands located within 10 km of a wind farm enjoy a 2.93% to 7.29% price premium. However, lands located within 1 to 3 km of a wind farm experience depreciation, while lands located within 3 to 6 km of a wind turbine experience an increase on average. We further find that offshore wind farms are viewed more favorably by nearby residents compared to inland wind farms. Our estimations imply that wind farm constructions lead to about $1.073 billion appreciation in land values in China. Our estimated environmental benefits range from $2.9 billion to $27.6 billion. Based on the recent carbon price in China (as of July 2021), the economic benefits of the wind farm are about 37% of the environmental benefits from carbon emission reduction.
