I. INTRODUCTION

1.Overall about econometrics

Econometrics

is

the

application

of

statistical

methods


to

economic data and is described as the branch of economics that
aims to give empirical content to economic relations. Precisely
speaking, it is the quantitative analysis of actual economic
problems,

based

on

the

concurrent

development

of

theory

and

observation, related by appropriate methods of inference. It is
understandable

that

economist


make

comparison

econometrics

is

like an effective tool to convert mountains of data into extract
simple relationships.

The reason why econometrics is effective is economics theory
use statistical theory and mathematical statistics to evaluate
and develop econometrics method. In reality, econometrics help
economists to assess economic theories, developing econometrics
model, analyzing and forecasting the economic history.

Aware of the importance of econometrics to economic phenomena,
our group decides to carry out a research of econometrics: “The
factors that have influence on median housing price” and aim to
analyze statistic and point out differences and their reason of
price level.

The data set has 506 observations with 12 variables in total.
We choose 6 variables: price, crime, nox, rooms, dist and proptax
to do the research in which price is dependent variable and the
other five are independent variables. The general method used in

this research is OLS (ordinary least squares). In addition, the
specialized method is estimate, running Stata software as well.

During carrying out this research, our group is so lucky to
be guided thoroughly by Dr. Dinh Thi Thanh Binh. We are grateful
for everything you have taught us!

This is the first time our group carry out an econometrics
research, our performance is unavoidable to have many mistakes.
It would be a pleasure if we can receive the feedback from you to
better ourselves next time.

With the six selected variables, we use the OLS model because
all regressions variable are exogenous variables, the effects of
independent

variables

on

the

dependent

variable

are

linear

effects. In addition, the estimates calculated by means of the
least squares OLS are linear estimates that are not deviate and
are better than others.

When using OLS, we have some basic assumptions:
4


LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add


Group 10

Econometrics Report

1.

The regression model is linear in the parameters

2.

X values are fixed in repeated sampling, which means Xi

and ui are uncorrelated
3.

Zero mean value of disturbance (E(ui)) =0)

4.

Homoscedasticity or equal variance of ui : var(ui) = σ 2

5.

No correlation between disturbances

6.


The model is correctly specified.

7.

Number of observations must be greater than the number

of parameters to be estimated.

II.

8.

X values in a given sample must not be the same.

9.

No perfect multicollinearity.

10.

Normal distribution.

QUESTION OF INTEREST
We have always been wondering “Why do housing prices among

locations and regions differ so much?”. Housing prices are affected
by

many


different

factors

such

as

structure,

neighborhood,

accessibility, air pollution and so on. To seek the answer to
that question, our group is going to use the collected data to
build and run the regression model and then the results are going
to be analyzed to finally answer the question of interest above.

III. ECONOMIC MODEL

According the provided data, the economic model used in this
report is an empirical one. Note that the fundamental model is
mathematical; with an empirical model, however, data is gathered
for the variables and using accepted statistical techniques, the
data are used to provide estimates of the model's values.

Figure 4
First and foremost, the correlation of Price and nox, crime,
rooms, dist, proptax is checked by calculating the correlation
coefficient

among

these

variables.

The

correlation

coefficient


measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship
between two variables on a scatterplot. In Stata, the correlation
with matrix is generated the command:

corr price crime nox rooms dist proptax

We can see from the matrix, it can be inferred that the
correlation between price and each of the independent variable is
decent enough to run the regression model. Specifically:

-

Correlation coefficient between price and crime is -0.3879 =>

price and crime have a moderate relationship.
-

Correlation coefficient between price and nox is -0.426 =>

price and nox have a moderate relationship.
-

Correlation coefficient between price and rooms is 0.6958 =>

price and rooms  have a moderate relationship.
-

Correlation coefficient between price and dist is 0.2493 =>


price and dist have a weak relationship.
-

Correlation coefficient between price and proptax is -0.4671

=> price and proptax have a moderate relationship.

Independent

variables

including

Rooms

and

Dist

have

correlation coefficient larger than 0, which means they are in
directly

relationship

with

dependent


variable.

The

highest
12

LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add


Group 10

Econometrics Report

coefficient is 0.6958 (between Rooms and Price) points out that
Rooms

have

the

strongest

impaction

on

Price.

When


rooms

increases, then price will increase much. On the other hands, the
correlation

coefficient

between

Price

and

Dist

is

0.2493.

It

implies that they have not strong connection. Even if the Dist
increases, Price increases but not much.
In addition, all variables have correlation coefficient not larger
than 0.8 so this model does not have multicollinearity problem.

2. Regression run

Having checked the required condition of correlation among

variables, the regression model is ready to run. In Stata, this
is done by using the command:

crime, nox, rooms, dist, proptax all have statistically significant
effects on price at the 5% significant level (as all p-values are
smaller than 0.05). In particular, those effects can be specified by
the regression coefficients as follows:

1. Multicollinearity

 Multicollinearity is the high degree of correlation amongst
the


explanatory

variables,

which

may

make

it

difficult

to

separate out the effects of the individual regressors, standard
errors may be overestimated and t-value depressed.
 Detect multicollinearity
o

Method 1: Use cor command to examine multicollinearity

If independent variables are strongly correlated (r > 0.8),
multicollinearity may occur.

As

a

result,

we

can

conclude

that

multicollinearity does not occur in this model.
o

Method 2: Use variance inflation factor (VIF)

If VIF > 10, multicollinearity occurs.

We

can

a

conclusion

from


2

methods

above

that

multicollinearity not too worrisome a problem for this set of
data.

2. Heteroskedasticity

Another problem that our model can suffer from when being
examined is heteroskedasticity. Heteroskedasticity may result in
the

situation

that

some

least

squared

estimators


are

still

unbiased but are no longer effective, along with that, estimators
of variances will become biased, thus lead to the reduction in
effectiveness of our model.

When the assumption of variance of each error term Ui is
unchanged when i moves from 1, 2 to n. It can also be rewritten
as:

Var (Ui) = Var (Uj)

i=1,2,3,…,n
17

LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add


Group 10

Econometrics Report
j=1,2,3,…,n

When that assumption is violated, heteroskedasticity appears
 Causes
o

Essence of economic phenomena: If economic phenomena


is examined on subjects having difference in scale or they
are examined under periods of time that are not similar in
fluctuation level.
o

Model’s function is wrongly formatted, maybe because

appropriate variables are missing or function analysis is
false.
o

cannot fully and correctly reflect the essence of

economic

phenomena.

For

example,

external

observations

appear. Bringing in or eliminate these observations does
great impact on regression analysis.
o


Error tends to decrease as data collecting, conserving

and processing techniques are improved
o

Hypothesis:

Behaviors in the past are learnt.

We can see that for all coefficients, 0 doesn’t belong to the
confidence interval, so we reject the hypotheses H0: H 0 : β 1=0, β 2=0 ,
β 3=0 , β 4 =0, β 5=0

Conclusion: Number of crimes committed per capita, nitrogen oxide

4. Testing the overall significance: The F test
This test is to examine if the parameters of the independent
variable βi at the same time can be zero.

The hypothesis is as follows:

the subset does have explanatory or predictive power on price, so
we don’t reduce the model by dropping out this subset.
