  • Note: The table is a subset of the full model shown in Appendix B. Here we show only the variables relevant to the wind turbine. N = 12,640, OLS = 12,581 degrees of freedom. Standard errors are in parentheses. LM, Lagrangian multiplier; OLS, ordinary least squares; SARAR, spatial autoregressive model with a spatial autoregressive error term; SEM, spatial error model.
