P 1 is the adjusted sales price at the first sale (in 1996 dollars),<br />
P 2 is the adjusted sales price at the sec<strong>on</strong>d sale (in 1996 dollars),<br />
t 1 is the date <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the first sale,<br />
t 2 is the date <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the sec<strong>on</strong>d sale, and<br />
(t 1 – t 2 ) is determined by calculating the number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> days that separate the sale dates and dividing<br />
by 365.<br />
As with the hed<strong>on</strong>ic regressi<strong>on</strong> model, the usefulness <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the repeat sales model is well<br />
established in the literature when investigating possible disamenities. For example, a repeat<br />
sales analysis was used to estimate spatial and temporal sales price effects from incinerators by<br />
Kiel and McClain (1995), who found that appreciati<strong>on</strong> rates, <strong>on</strong> average, are not sensitive to<br />
distance from the facility during the c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> phase but are during the operati<strong>on</strong> phase.<br />
Similarly, McCluskey and Rausser (2003) used a repeat sales model to investigate effects<br />
surrounding a hazardous waste site. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g>y found that appreciati<strong>on</strong> rates are not sensitive to the<br />
home’s distance from the disamenity before that disamenity is identified by the EPA as<br />
hazardous, but that home values are impacted by distance after the EPA’s identificati<strong>on</strong> is made.<br />
6.2. Dataset<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> 7,459 residential sales transacti<strong>on</strong>s in the dataset c<strong>on</strong>tain a total <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 1,253 transacti<strong>on</strong>s that<br />
involve homes that sold <strong>on</strong> more than <strong>on</strong>e occasi<strong>on</strong> (i.e., a “pair” <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sales <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the same home).<br />
For the purposes <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this analysis, however, the key sample c<strong>on</strong>sists <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> homes that sold <strong>on</strong>ce<br />
before the announcement <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the wind facility, and that subsequently sold again after the<br />
c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> that facility. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g>refore any homes that sold twice in either the pre-announcement<br />
or post-c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> periods were not used in the repeat sales sample. 91 <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g>se were excluded<br />
because either they occurred before the effect would be present (for pre-announcement pairs) or<br />
after (for post-announcement pairs). This left a total <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 368 pairs for the analysis, which was<br />
subsequently reduced to 354 usable pairs. 92<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> mean AAR for the sample is 1.0% per year, with a low <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> -10.5% and a high <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 13.4%.<br />
Table 27 summarizes some <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the characteristics <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the homes used in the repeat sales model.<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> average house in the sample has 1,580 square feet <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> above-ground finished living area, sits<br />
<strong>on</strong> a parcel <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 0.67 acres, and originally sold for $70,483 (real 1996 dollars). When it sold a<br />
sec<strong>on</strong>d time, the average home in the sample was located 2.96 miles from the nearest wind<br />
turbine (14 homes were within <strong>on</strong>e mile, 199 between <strong>on</strong>e and three miles, 116 between three<br />
and five miles, and 25 outside <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> five miles). Of the 354 homes, 14% (n = 49) had some view <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
the facility (35 were rated MINOR, five MODERATE, and nine either SUBSTANTIAL or<br />
EXTREME). Because <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the restricti<strong>on</strong> to those homes that experienced repeat sales, the sample<br />
is relatively small for those homes in close proximity to and with dramatic views <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> wind<br />
facilities.<br />
91 752 pairs occurred after c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> began, whereas 133 pairs occurred before announcement.<br />
92 Of the 368 pairs, 14 were found to have an AAR that was either significantly above or below the mean for the<br />
sample (mean +/- 2 standard deviati<strong>on</strong>s). <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g>se pairs were c<strong>on</strong>sidered highly likely to be associated with homes that<br />
were either renovated or left to deteriorate between sales, and therefore were removed from the repeat sales model<br />
dataset. Only two <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> these 14 homes had views <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the wind turbines, both <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> which were MINOR. All 14 <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the<br />
homes were situated either between <strong>on</strong>e and three miles from the nearest turbine (n = 8) or between three and five<br />
miles away (n = 6).<br />
