Mini Project 3 Urban Ecology

Mini Project 3 Urban Ecology

Case Study:

Five years ago you moved to an up-and-coming area in your city. When you moved there, the neighborhoods were surrounded by vast wooded areas. Recently, you’ve noticed that the wooded areas are being removed to make way for new housing. Many animals are getting hit by cars or found roaming around the neighborhoods in search of food. You’ve decided to create an Urban Ecology Program in your city and ask the city government to protect the remaining forest areas.

Using the library or the Internet, thoroughly research established urban ecology programs in the United States. Create a mission statement that outlines your proposal to preserve the natural habitat around your area.

Regression and Forecasting

 Assignment #3

 

 

  1. Using Excel, run three separate regressions, one each for each of the three stores. The dependent variable is per capita sales.  Include all X variables except LA, CHI, NY, the three binary variables that indicate which observations are for which city.

 

  1. Discuss the following results in a short paper

 

  1. Begin the paper by specifying your hypothesized sign (+,-) for the coefficient of each variable for which economic theory suggests a sign. E.g. economic theory suggests that per capita sales should be negatively related to own price.  Indicate which variables have no hypothesized sign.

 

  1. Present the Excel results for each store separately. For each store

 

  • Present findings of whether estimated sign of the coefficient matches the hypothesized sign.
  • Present evidence of the test of the appropriate hypothesis
  • Discuss R2.

 

  1. Summarize differences and similarities between results for the three stores.

Two topic of choice essay papers, each three- to four-pages in length not including cover and Reference paper will be completed during the course 8 weeks. You may select a topic focus from any of the 8 topics, list below for reference, covered across the course 8 weeks for each of the two topic of choice papers. Submitting work already completed for assignments (papers or forums) earlier in the course or that only expands on the same topic addressed in an earlier assignment is not permitted but you may submit a paper that approaches an earlier assignment topic from a different angle (ex: if you completed an assignment about PTSD in combat veterans or other issues faced by military personnel, you may submit a topic of choice essay on challenges faced by families of military veterans returning from combat deployments and resources made available to them by the mental health profession).

This assignment must be submitted as an attachment in APA format.

Any content copied from published resources and not in quotation marks (and quoting must be done very sparsely–one or two brief quotes per page are permitted–because your prof needs to assess the meaning you made from and your knowledge acquired when engaging with published materials not your ability to quote writing already done by published authors) or paraphrasing (restating what you read in your own words) of publications not correctly source credited will void the paper points without option for revision and resubmission to recoup lost points and a second instance of plagiarism on any assignment automatically resulting in course failure. This policy is in place to protect the integrity of APUS graduate courses and the legal rights of published authors.
