Abstract
Preferences for developing 3600 MW offshore wind farms in Denmark are estimated based on data from a choice experiment. The variation in willingness to pay for the location of offshore wind power development at 8, 12, 18, or 50 km from shore is analysed as a function of gender, age, education, income, wind turbine viewshed, and beach visits. With a willingness to pay space mixlogit model, we find that willingness to pay varies significantly as a function of the age, income level, viewshed to offshore wind farms, and beach visit frequency of the respondents.
