The deployment of onshore wind power is an important means to mitigate climate change. However, wind turbines also produce local disamenities to residents living next to them, mainly due to noise emissions and visual effects. Our paper analyzes how the presence of local disamenities affects the...

Überall auf der Welt findet eine zunehmende Versiegelung des Bodens statt. Die Gründe für den steigenden Flächenbedarf – hauptsächlich Bevölkerungs- und/oder Wirtschaftswachstum – unterscheiden sich nicht wesentlich in den verschiedenen Ländern. Gleiches gilt für die Auswirkungen von...

Anhand der empirischen Untersuchung der Bodenrichtwertentwicklung und der Zahl der Grundstücksübertragungen (Kauffallgeschehen) in festgesetzten Überschwemmungsgebieten können Zusammenhänge zwischen Wertentwicklung und Hochwasser abgeleitet werden. Ausgewählte Aspekte der...

The deployment of onshore wind power is an important means to mitigate climate change. However, wind turbines also have negative impacts at the local scale, like disamenities to residents living nearby, changes in landscape quality, or conflicts with nature conservation. Our paper analyses how...

In many communities on the urban-rural fringe, subdivisions are subject to clustering rules, in which houses must be located on a portion of the total land area and the remainder of the land is left as open space. This open space may be undisturbed forest or pastureland, or it may include...

This study estimates a generalized spatial hedonic pricing model to assess how residential property values are impacted by inclusion within cluster developments and by proximity to various types of protected land. The estimated model simultaneously controls for the spatial dependence of...

This paper addresses the trade-off between unfavourable air pollution levels and favourable weather conditions for selecting a date for the staging of an outdoor event. For an event date that has been fixed, it presents a personal preference-based data-driven decision framework for individual...

Freeway revolts were widespread protests across the U.S. following early urban Interstate construction in the mid-1950s. We present theory and evidence from panel data on neighborhoods and travel behavior to show that diminished quality of life from freeway disamenities inspired the revolts,...
