Description: New Home Mortgage Yields for 18 SMSA's as well as six financial and geographic factors.
Variables (Names):
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (smsa)
Mortgage Yield in % (mortYld)
Average Loan/Mortgage Ratio High values ==> Low Down Payments (X1)
Distance from Boston in miles (X2)
Savings per new unit built (X3)
Savings per capita (X4)
Pop inc 1950-1960 in % (X5)
Percent of first mortgage from inter-regional banks (X6)
A study obtained mortgage yields in n=18 U.S. metropolitan areas in the 1960s. The researcher obtained the following variables and fit a linear regression model to see which factors (variables) were associated with yield (each variable was obtained for each metro area):
- Y = Mortgage Yield (Interest Rate as a %)
- X1 = Average Loan/Mortgage Ratio (High Values Low Down Payments/Higher Risk)
- X2 = Distance from Boston (in miles) - (Most of population was in Northeast in the 1960s)
- X3 = Savings per unit built (Measure of Available capital versus building rate)
- X4 = Savings per capita
- X5 = Population increase from 1950 to 1960 (%)
- X6 = Percent of first mortgage from inter-regional banks (Measures flow of money from outside SMSA)
For all parts, obtain the regression through a R's lm function. Conduct all tests ata = 0.05 significance level. For all parts, formally give your results, as well as computer output.
