Comparing benefits of off-shore wind and marine reserves

This research paper uses a latent class mixed logit model to analyze the trade-offs between establishing wind farms and marine protected areas in Estonia, finding that 'environmentally-friendly' wind farms provide welfare benefits comparable to those of marine protected areas.

• A discrete choice experiment in Estonia indicates that while respondents generally prefer the creation of marine protected areas over conventional wind farms on marine shoals, the welfare benefits of 'environmentally-friendly' wind farms are not statistically different from those of marine protected areas.
