Stated panel choices by 308 residents for a proposed wind-power project near Setskog, Norway. Each respondent completed six choice tasks. The alternatives are the status quo and two project plans. Compensation values were converted to Euro at an exchange rate of 10.8770 Norwegian kroner = 1 Euro.
This data can be used to model the choice between two wind-power project plans and the status quo based on the number and height of turbines, power-line placement, compensation, and collective psychological ownership.
Format
A tibble with 1848 rows and 16 columns:
- respondent [
integer] The respondent identifier.
- occasion [
integer] The choice occasion from 1 to 6.
- choice [
character] The chosen alternative from 1 to 3.
- turbines_1–turbines_3 [
integer] The number of turbines for each alternative.
- height_1–height_3 [
integer] The turbine height in meters for each alternative.
- powerline_1–powerline_3 [
factor] The power-line route and placement: none, overhead or underground throughout, or mixed between forests and residential areas.
- compensation_1–compensation_3 [
numeric] The annual reduction in municipal taxes offered as compensation, in euros.
- psychological_ownership [
numeric] A respondent-specific, model-estimated latent score for collective psychological ownership of the natural area affected by the proposed wind farm. It was constructed from three seven-point Likert items asking whether the area is "ours" and belongs collectively to residents. The construct was normalized to mean zero and standard deviation one in the study: positive values indicate stronger and negative values weaker feelings of shared ownership relative to the sample average.
