ECON 3406 Multiple Regression Instructions
LO2.2
In this assignment, you are provided with data from a research paper by Ella Hartenian and Nicholas Horton, who examined whether or not there was a relationship between rail trails and property values in Northampton, MA. The data are located in the file ‘house prices.xlsx’ which is in your e-mail on D2L. Please see the accompanying word document, ‘documentation.docx,’ which describes what each of the columns in the data set mean and how they are scaled. For this assignment you will learn how to estimate a common regression model used in economics, finance, and real estate called a “hedonic price model.”
1. Create a copy of the data set by right-clicking the tab at the bottom and clicking ‘Move or Copy...’, then create another copy of the data set in the same workbook. Label this copy “Regression 1” and the original tab “Original Data.” Now click on the tab for “Regression 1.” Delete all variables except ‘price2014,’ ‘bedrooms,’ ‘garage space’, ‘nofullbath’, ‘norooms’, ‘squarefeet,’ and ‘walkscore.’ You should have seven total variables. Make sure ‘price 2014’ is the far left variable, then estimate the model where ‘price2014’ is a function of the other six variables. Then answer the questions:
(a) For each variable, explain what the sign of the regression coefficient is, what the magnitude is (i.e., if x goes up by one unit how much does y increase by), and whether or not the results of your regression are consistent with what you believed the sign and magnitude to be. Then explain if any variables are insignificant.
• Use p < 0.1 as the p-value cutoff for whether results are significant.
(b) Write down the equation of your regression line, including all variables. Next, calculate the average value for each of your six explanatory variables using the AVERAGE() function in Excel. Finally, make a prediction for the price if each of the variables take their average value.
(c) Explain briefly if there are any variables in the data set you think should have been included and, if so, why. You must refer to at least one other variable.
IMPORTANT: TYPE YOUR ANSWERS IN A TEXT BOX (“INSERT” A TEXT BOX). MAKE SURE TO ADDRESS EACH QUESTION (a, b, and c)
LO2.3
In this assignment you are provided with data from a research paper by Ella Hartenian and Nicholas Horton, who examined whether or not there was a relationship between rail trails and property values in Northamp- ton, MA. The data are located in the file ‘house prices.xlsx’ (same data used above) which is in your e-mail on D2L. Please see the accompanying word document, ‘documentation.docx,’ which describes what each of the columns in the data set mean and how they are scaled. For this assignment you will assess whether rail trails influence property values.
1. Create a copy of the same data set used for “LO2.2” by right-clicking the tab at the bottom and clicking ‘Move or Copy...’, then create another copy of the data set in ...

1. Question #2 - Page # 88, Use data P02_03.xlsx.
The file P02_03.xlsx contains data from a survey of 399
people regarding a government environmental policy.
a. Create a crosstabs and an associated column chart for
Gender versus Opinion. Express the counts as percentages
so that for either gender, the percentages add
to 100%. Discuss your findings. Specifically, do the
two genders tend to differ in their opinions about the
environmental policy?
b. Repeat part a with Age versus Opinion.
c. Recode Salary to be categorical with categories “Less
than $40K,” “Between $40K and $70K,” “Between $70K
and $100K,” and “Greater than $100K” (where you can
treat the breakpoints however you like). Then repeat
part a with this new Salary variable versus Opinion.
2. Question #20 - Page #96, Use data P02_56.xlsx
The file P02_56.xlsx contains monthly values of indexes
that measure the amount of energy necessary to heat or cool
buildings due to outside temperatures. (See the explanation
in the Source sheet of the file.) These are reported for each
state in the United States and also for several regions, as
listed in the Locations sheet, from 1931 to 2000.
a. For each of the Heating Degree Days and Cooling
Degree Days sheets, create a new Season variable
with values “Winter,” “Spring,” “Summer,” and “Fall.”
Winter consists of December, January, and February;
Spring consists of March, April, and May; Summer
consists of June, July, and August; and Fall consists of
September, October, and November.
b. Find the mean, median, and standard deviation
of Heating Degree Days (HDD), broken down by
Season,
for the 48 contiguous states location (code
5999). (Ignore the first and last rows for the given location,
the ones that contain -9999, the code for missing
values.)
Also, create side-by-side box plots of HDD,
broken down by season. Comment on the results. Do they go in the direction you would expect? Do the
same for Cooling Degree Days (which has no missing data).
c. Repeat part b for California (code 0499).
d. Repeat part b for the New England group of states
(code 5801).
3. Question #30 - Page #105, Use data P03_30.xlsx
rates of various currencies versus the U.S. dollar. It is of
interest to financial analysts and economists to see whether
exchange rates move together through time. You could find
the correlations between the exchange rates themselves,
but it is often more useful with time series data to check for
correlations between differences from day to day.
a. Create a column of differences for each currency.
b. Create a table of correlations between all of the original
variables. Then on the same sheet, create a second
table of correlations between the difference variables.
On this same sheet, enter two cutoff values, one positive
such as 0.6 and one negative such as 20.5, and
use conditional formatting to color all correlations (in
both tables) above the positive cutoff green and all
correlations below the negative cutoff red. Do it so

EMPIRICAL PROJECTObjective to help students put in practice w.docxSALU18
EMPIRICAL PROJECT
Objective: * to help students put in practice what they have learned in Econometrics I
* to teach students how to write an “economic paper”.
Steps
a) Selecting a topic
Topic areas: Macroeconomics: consumption function, investment function, demand
function, the Phillips curve…
Microeconomics: estimating production, cost, supply and demand. Data
are hard to obtain here.
Urban and Regional Economics: demand for housing, transportation…
International Economics: estimating import and export functions,
estimating purchasing power parity, estimating capital mobility…
Development Economics: measuring the determinants of per-capita
income, testing the per-capita output convergence among nations…
Labor Economics: testing theories of unionization, estimating labor force
participation, estimating wage differential among women, minorities…
Resource and Environmental Economics: estimating water pollution,
estimating the determinants of toxic emissions…
The resource journal is JEL (Journal of Economic Literature) + Internet EconLit .
b) Statement of the Problem
State clearly the problem that you are interested in (what are you trying
to achieve)
c) Review of literature
Point out (critically) what others have done concerning the topic of interest.
d) Formulation of a general model
The final model can be derived in several ways: utility maximization,
profit maximization, cost minimization, etc. The review of literature is
generally helpful to accomplish this task. In the course of deriving the model,
one must sort out clearly the dependent variable and the independent
variables. After transforming the economic model in econometric model, one
writes up the hypotheses to be tested: expected signs of the parameters and
magnitudes. To elaborate a bit, let use the following demand for some good:
Q
P
P
Y
u

represent the quantity of good of interest, the price
of that good, the price of another good (pork, etc), income and the error term,
respectively. Here

depending on the nature of the good: >0
if substitute and <0 if complementary. The size of
b
depends on the nature of
product. Thus if the product is a necessity, price and income elasticities are
expected to be small.
e) Collecting Data
Sources: international, national, regional
primary or secondary.
Notes.
f) Empirical Analysis
Data analysis: outliers, level of variation…
Model estimation and hypothesis testing
g) Writing a Report

AN IMPROVED DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM BASED ON THE BDM (BIT DECISION MAKING) ME...ijmpict
Based on the BDM (Bit Decision Making) method, the present work presents two contributions: first, the
illustration of the use of the technique known as SOP (Sum Of Products) in order to systematize the
process to obtain the correlation function for sub-system’s mathematical modelling, and second,the provision of capacity to manage a greater than binary but a finite - discrete set of possible subjective qualifications of suppliers at any criterion.
Since the instructions for the final project are standardized and .docxedgar6wallace88877
Since the instructions for the final project are standardized and provided by the department, I thought you might appreciate some pointers and key areas of focus to help you navigate this project! Use this in conjunction with your syllabus instructions, which contain detailed content instructions.
Read the syllabus instructions VERY carefully, pay attention to the requirements embedded in the sentences. In fact, I would construct each heading and subheading (YES, use APA formatted subheadings) according to the required areas listed in your instructions. Here are some formatting directions for subheadings and a rough example for organization of your project with subheadings.
APA Headings Level Formatting Guidelines:
1 Centered, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase
2 Left-aligned, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase Heading
3 Indented, boldface, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period.
4 Indented, boldface, italicized, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period.
5 Indented, italicized, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period.
Example:
1st page is the TITLE PAGE with Running head- refer to APA guidelines
See how I used proper capitalization for my running head?
Running head: GENDER TRAINING IN THE WORKPLACE
2nd page and remaining pages... The body of your project training program and report. Look up APA formatting: double space entire body, font 12-Times New Roman, 1” margins all sides. Make sure you use proper APA citations in the text (McCarty, 2016) and that those resources are listed on the reference page, including the journal and website citations that you chose.
Introduction and Identification of Problems (1st level)
Participant Name and Problem #1
(You will do this 12 times) (2nd level subheading, left justified, paragraph begins
next line after heading-double space. I will not double space the rest of this example to save space, but don’t forget to do it! Make sure you check your settings to be a true double space-nothing less and nothing more)
Training Program: Session One (8 of these)
Session One Title (2nd level)
Gender and Hostility in the Workplace
Objectives (2nd level)
The goal of this course is to
· define gender,
· define hostility,
· identify areas of hostility…(You can use bullets and or level three subheadings to list/organize).
Problem (2nd level)
State the participants problem(s) you will address with this session
Journal articles and websites
Journal. List one or more peer review (ACADEMIC) article(s) that is relevant to the issue/problem using an APA formatted reference.
Website. List one website that is relevant to the issue/problem and put into APA formatted reference.
Activity
Create and describe an activity that will promote discussion and understanding among the participants.
Activity breakdown. (3rd level subheading). Start text after period. You might want to use this 3rd level subheadin.

(c) Calculate the regression line (least squares line) and fill in the “a” and “b” in the equation: Y-hat = a +b*X
(d) Calculate the CORRELATION COEFFICIENT and DETERMINE if it is SIGNIFICANT
(e) Using your regression equation what does it estimate the taxes to be on a $1 million and the $2.5 million home? AND, what would be the predicted taxes on a home with NO VALUE (e.g., severe water damage). How do these regression equation taxes compare to the actual ones in the Table do you feel?
(f) Interpret the SLOPE of this least squares line.
THIS NEXT STATISTICAL TOOL ALLOWS US TO COMPARE TO SETS OF DATA TO SEE IF THEY ARE SIMILAR OR NOT. WE ARE ACTUALLY COMPARING THE STANDARD DEVIATIONS OF THESE TWO DATA SETS. IT COULD INVOLVE COMPARING SAMPLES FROM TWO DIFFERENT POPULATIONS OR COMPARING WHAT IS OBSERVED IN A SINGLE POPULATION VERSES WHAT IS EXPECTED TO BE OBSERVED IN THAT POPULATION. SOUND USEFUL?
THE DOWNSIDE IS THAT WE USE YET ANOTHER DISTRIBUTION: THE CHI SQUARE (X2 OR X^2) DISTRIBUTION THAT ALSO HAS ITS OWN TABLE (AVAILABLE IN COURSE RESOURCES).

According to your textbook, “Contrary to a popular misconception in the West, homosexuality is not universally stigmatized. Based on the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample of 186 societies, Crapo (1995) found that only 31% of people stigmatized homosexual behavior, while the remainder either considered homosexual experimentation to be a normal developmental phase of preadult life (38%), accepted committed adult same-sex relationships as an alternative form of marriage (18%), or even required same-sex relationships among all males during a period that preceded their being permitted to marry heterosexually (12%)” (Crapo, 2013, p.161).

Which of the following is an example of an
etic
statement about Americans? (Points : 1)
July 4th is a federal holiday, and I enjoy having the day off from work. I usually spend time with my family and hang out at the pool.
The Fourth of July is the day we adopted the Declaration of Independence, declaring our independence from the British in 1776. This had a huge impact on the entire course of history, leading to the Revolutionary War and the creation of the best country in the world, the United States of America.
The fireworks displays are my favorite part of the Fourth of July. I also march in the local parade.
Americans celebrate the 4th of July as the day they declared independence from colonial powers in 1776. Food is often cooked outside on grills, even though most houses have electric ovens inside. It is very hot outside in the middle of summer, and although many people have electronic cooling devices called air conditioners within their homes, much of the day is spent outside. At night, explosives are set off in community gatherings to celebrate this holiday. Remarkably, very few people are hurt during these displays.
Question 3.

Which of the following is an example of an
etic
description of teen pregnancy in America? (Points : 1)
One of my friends in high school got pregnant in her sophomore year. She and the father decided to keep the baby, got married and just celebrated their 10thanniversary. They both finished college and have good jobs now. It just goes to show that people can overcome teen pregnancy and become successful parents.
Although popular opinion sometimes indicates otherwise, according to a statistical analysis from the US Department of Health and Services (2014), teen pregnancy rates have been steadily declining for the past twenty years. In America, most teenagers are not yet fully independent from their parents, as teenagers in other cultures sometimes are, so they are not ready to become parents. Since this issue has a huge impact on young women and men affected by it, this may account for the disparity between popular opinion and.

After an individual is arrested, I will obtain fingerprints and photographs of the subject and complete a number of forms that are used to start a criminal file on the subject. I will use the Buccal Collection DNA test kit provided by the FBI on my subject. Once completed properly and submitted to the FBI, the kit will be sent to the Federal DNA Database Unit (FDDU). The FDDU will take the DNA test kit and upload it into NDIS creating a DNA profile for my subject. The subject’s DNA profile will be searched against unknown forensic profiles from crime scenes across the country. If my subject’s DNA matches with another crime from another state he can be charged for that crimes as well. In my opinion this is the most important service the FBI has. This allows all agencies to communicate and share information based off of DNA evidence. The flaw is that they need the criminal to be apprehended and processed in order for the DNA to be in the system.
In Knoxville Tennessee, FBI Emergency Response agents train how to excavate a body at the Body Farm. The agents pair up in teams with forensic anthropologists to learn how to best identify and excavate human remains to preserve the clues and pieces of evidence that decaying bodies may leave behind. The weeklong training gives agents step by step instructions while surprising the agents with twists and surprises during their excavations. This was very interesting to me because it helps put things into perspective. Teaches them to put the victim first, which will motivate them to slow down, be methodical with their techniques and be very thorough because it only can be done once.

Target of Program Evaluation Plan, Part 1
Assignment 1 is the first part of a five-part project to plan the various elements of a program evaluation for education. Select a program target from your school district, workplace, (e.g., business training program) or your university (where you are a student). For you to gain the most from the assignment, you should select a program that you are interested in, would like to see evaluated, and are able to obtain information about. (Possible programs include: student assessment, teacher assessment, pay for student achievement, new teacher or employee training, online classrooms, anti-bullying, gender equity for girls in math and science, school to work, retention of at-risk students, and schools of choice (charter schools), etc.). As you develop the entire plan, gather information, and receive feedback from your professor (or others), you should revise and refine each part of the project. Think of your professor as your project evaluator and supervisor who will help guide you so that you produce an outstanding, well-developed evaluation plan for the stakeholders.
Write a 1000 words paper in which you:
1. Describe three (3) elements of a worthy object for program evaluation - its type, the department administrating it, and target population.
2. Describe the program's history, primary purpose(s), and / or expected outcomes.
3. Explain three (3) reasons for selecting the program (e.g., program's value or lack of it, issues surrounding it, age, relevance, cost, impact on students, etc.).
4. Discuss three (3) advantages of evaluating the program at this time.
5. Discuss two (2) major constraints in conducting an evaluation on this program and a method of addressing them.
6. Use at least three (3) peer-reviewed academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and many Websites do not qualify as academic resources. Peer-reviewed academic resources refer to articles and scholarly journals that are reviewe.

EMPIRICAL PROJECT
Objective: * to help students put in practice what they have learned in Econometrics I
* to teach students how to write an “economic paper”.
Steps
a) Selecting a topic
Topic areas: Macroeconomics: consumption function, investment function, demand
function, the Phillips curve…
Microeconomics: estimating production, cost, supply and demand. Data
are hard to obtain here.
Urban and Regional Economics: demand for housing, transportation…
International Economics: estimating import and export functions,
estimating purchasing power parity, estimating capital mobility…
Development Economics: measuring the determinants of per-capita
income, testing the per-capita output convergence among nations…
Labor Economics: testing theories of unionization, estimating labor force
participation, estimating wage differential among women, minorities…
Resource and Environmental Economics: estimating water pollution,
estimating the determinants of toxic emissions…
The resource journal is JEL (Journal of Economic Literature) + Internet EconLit .
b) Statement of the Problem
State clearly the problem that you are interested in (what are you trying
to achieve)
c) Review of literature
Point out (critically) what others have done concerning the topic of interest.
d) Formulation of a general model
The final model can be derived in several ways: utility maximization,
profit maximization, cost minimization, etc. The review of literature is
generally helpful to accomplish this task. In the course of deriving the model,
one must sort out clearly the dependent variable and the independent
variables. After transforming the economic model in econometric model, one
writes up the hypotheses to be tested: expected signs of the parameters and
magnitudes. To elaborate a bit, let use the following demand for some good:

depending on the nature of the good: >0

expected to be small.

Since the instructions for the final project are standardized and .docxedgar6wallace88877
Since the instructions for the final project are standardized and provided by the department, I thought you might appreciate some pointers and key areas of focus to help you navigate this project! Use this in conjunction with your syllabus instructions, which contain detailed content instructions.
Read the syllabus instructions VERY carefully, pay attention to the requirements embedded in the sentences. In fact, I would construct each heading and subheading (YES, use APA formatted subheadings) according to the required areas listed in your instructions. Here are some formatting directions for subheadings and a rough example for organization of your project with subheadings.
APA Headings Level Formatting Guidelines:
1 Centered, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase
2 Left-aligned, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase Heading
3 Indented, boldface, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period.
4 Indented, boldface, italicized, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period.
5 Indented, italicized, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period.
Example:
1st page is the TITLE PAGE with Running head- refer to APA guidelines
See how I used proper capitalization for my running head?
Running head: GENDER TRAINING IN THE WORKPLACE
2nd page and remaining pages... The body of your project training program and report. Look up APA formatting: double space entire body, font 12-Times New Roman, 1” margins all sides. Make sure you use proper APA citations in the text (McCarty, 2016) and that those resources are listed on the reference page, including the journal and website citations that you chose.
Introduction and Identification of Problems (1st level)
Participant Name and Problem #1
(You will do this 12 times) (2nd level subheading, left justified, paragraph begins
next line after heading-double space. I will not double space the rest of this example to save space, but don’t forget to do it! Make sure you check your settings to be a true double space-nothing less and nothing more)
Training Program: Session One (8 of these)
Session One Title (2nd level)
Gender and Hostility in the Workplace
Objectives (2nd level)
The goal of this course is to
· define gender,
· define hostility,
· identify areas of hostility…(You can use bullets and or level three subheadings to list/organize).
Problem (2nd level)
State the participants problem(s) you will address with this session
Journal articles and websites
Journal. List one or more peer review (ACADEMIC) article(s) that is relevant to the issue/problem using an APA formatted reference.
Website. List one website that is relevant to the issue/problem and put into APA formatted reference.
Activity

Which of the following is an example of an
etic
statement about Americans? (Points : 1)
July 4th is a federal holiday, and I enjoy having the day off from work. I usually spend time with my family and hang out at the pool.
The Fourth of July is the day we adopted the Declaration of Independence, declaring our independence from the British in 1776. This had a huge impact on the entire course of history, leading to the Revolutionary War and the creation of the best country in the world, the United States of America.
The fireworks displays are my favorite part of the Fourth of July. I also march in the local parade.
Americans celebrate the 4th of July as the day they declared independence from colonial powers in 1776. Food is often cooked outside on grills, even though most houses have electric ovens inside. It is very hot outside in the middle of summer, and although many people have electronic cooling devices called air conditioners within their homes, much of the day is spent outside. At night, explosives are set off in community gatherings to celebrate this holiday. Remarkably, very few people are hurt during these displays.

One of my friends in high school got pregnant in her sophomore year. She and the father decided to keep the baby, got married and just celebrated their 10thanniversary. They both finished college and have good jobs now. It just goes to show that people can overcome teen pregnancy and become successful parents.
Although popular opinion sometimes indicates otherwise, according to a statistical analysis from the US Department of Health and Services (2014), teen pregnancy rates have been steadily declining for the past twenty years. In America, most teenagers are not yet fully independent from their parents, as teenagers in other cultures sometimes are, so they are not ready to become parents. Since this issue has a huge impact on young women and men affected by it, this may account for the disparity between popular opinion and.

-7 Three men are trapped in a cave with no hope of rescue and no food. They roll dice to determine who will be killed and eaten by the others so that some may survive. The two survivors are unexpectedly rescued 10 days later and tried for murder. Judge A finds them guilty, saying that the unjustifiable killing of another is against the homicide laws of State X. He bases his decision solely on statutory law and case precedents interpreting the law. To which school of legal thought does Judge A belong? Explain.
2-8 Basing his decision on the same set of facts as given in Problem 2-7, Judge B rules that the survivors are not guilty because they were cut off from all civilized life, and in such a situation, the laws of nature apply, not manmade laws. To which school of legal thought does Judge B belong? Explain.
2-9 Basing her decision on the same set of facts as given in Problem 2-7, Judge C rules that the two survivors are not guilty because, according to a scientific survey of the community by a professional polling organization, the public believes that the survivors’ actions were defensible. To which school of legal thought does Judge C belong? Explain.
2-10 Imagine you are a sitting federal judge, and this case comes before you. A woman (x) charges another woman (y) with rape. Both have been partners for a five-year period. Both presently live in different states within the United States. Who would you decide the case in favor of? Explain, using one of the schools of thought outlined in this chapter.
2-11 Madison and his adult son lived in a house owned by Madison. At the request of the son, Marshall painted the house. Madison did not authorize the work, but he knew that it was being done and raised no objection. However, Madison refused to pay Marshall, arguing that he had not contracted to have the house painted. Marshall asked his attorney if Madison was legally liable to pay him. The attorney told Marshall that, in their state, several appellate court opinions had established that when a homeowner allows work to be done on his home by a person who would ordinarily expect to be paid, a duty to pay exists. The attorney stated that, on the basis of these precedents, it was advisable for Marshall to bring a suit to collect the reasonable value of the work he had done. Explain what the attorney meant by precedent and why the fact that precedent existed was significant.
2-12 Smith was involved in litigation in California. She lost her case in the trial court. She appealed to the California appellate court, arguing that the trial court judge had incorrectly excluded certain evidence. To support her argument, she cited rulings by the Supreme Court of North Dakota and the Supreme Court of Ohio. Both the North Dakota and Ohio cases involved facts that were similar to those in Smith’s case. Does the California court have to follow the decisions from North Dakota and Ohio? Support your answer.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

ECON 3406 Multiple Regression InstructionsLO2.2In this ass.docx
1. ECON 3406 Multiple Regression Instructions
LO2.2
In this assignment, you are provided with data from a research
paper by Ella Hartenian and Nicholas Horton, who examined
whether or not there was a relationship between rail trails and
property values in Northampton, MA. The data are located in
the file ‘house prices.xlsx’ which is in your e-mail on D2L.
Please see the accompanying word document,
‘documentation.docx,’ which describes what each of the
columns in the data set mean and how they are scaled. For this
assignment you will learn how to estimate a common regression
model used in economics, finance, and real estate called a
“hedonic price model.”
1. Create a copy of the data set by right-clicking the tab at the
bottom and clicking ‘Move or Copy...’, then create another copy
of the data set in the same workbook. Label this copy
“Regression 1” and the original tab “Original Data.” Now click
on the tab for “Regression 1.” Delete all variables except
‘price2014,’ ‘bedrooms,’ ‘garage space’, ‘nofullbath’,
‘norooms’, ‘squarefeet,’ and ‘walkscore.’ You should have
seven total variables. Make sure ‘price 2014’ is the far left
variable, then estimate the model where ‘price2014’ is a
function of the other six variables. Then answer the questions:
(a) For each variable, explain what the sign of the regression
coefficient is, what the magnitude is (i.e., if x goes up by one
unit how much does y increase by), and whether or not the
results of your regression are consistent with what you believed
the sign and magnitude to be. Then explain if any variables are
insignificant.
2. • Use p < 0.1 as the p-value cutoff for whether results are
significant.
(b) Write down the equation of your regression line, including
all variables. Next, calculate the average value for each of your
six explanatory variables using the AVERAGE() function in
Excel. Finally, make a prediction for the price if each of the
variables take their average value.
(c) Explain briefly if there are any variables in the data set you
think should have been included and, if so, why. You must
refer to at least one other variable.

this assignment you will assess whether rail trails influence
property values.
1. Create a copy of the same data set used for “LO2.2” by right-
3. clicking the tab at the bottom and clicking ‘Move or Copy...’,
then create another copy of the data set in the same workbook.
Label this copy “Regression 2” and the original tab “Original
Data.” Now click on the tab for “Regression 2.” Then answer
the question:
(a) Estimate the model where house prices (“price2014”
variable) are affected by rail distance only. What is the sign and
magnitude of the coefficient on rail distance, and what is the fit
of the regression?
(b) Create another copy of the “original data” following the
same steps used before and label this new tab “Regression 3.”
Estimate a new model where house prices are affected by both
rail distance and previous prices (“price1998”) only. What is
the sign and new magnitude of the coefficient on rail distance,
and what is the fit of the regression?
(c) Create another copy of the “original data” following the
same steps used before and label this new tab “Regression 4.”
Estimate a new model where house prices are affected by both
rail distance and previous prices, as well as any other variable
you consider relevant (select at least one more variable and
explain briefly why). What is the sign and magnitude of the
coefficient on rail distance, and what is the fit of the
regression?
(d) Write a paragraph that answers whether rail trails affect
housing prices based on your three models.

Size: 30 variables / 104 observations
Article Title: Rail-Trails and Property Values: Is there an
Association?
Descriptive Abstract:
This dataset comprises 104 homes in Northampton: MA that
were sold in 2007. We measured the shortest distance from each
home to a railtrail on streets and pathways with Google maps
and recorded the Zillow.com estimate of each home’s price in
1998 and 2011. Additional attributes such as square footage:
number of bedrooms and bathrooms are available from a realty
database from 2007. We divide the houses into two groups
based on distance to the trail (distgroup).
