Nowadays, studying needs in centers and big cities such as Hanoi, HCM City, Da Nang, etc is
becoming most popular in Vietnam Youth life. In order to live in a big city like Hanoi where is
so far from hometown, many non-Hanoi students have to face with a huge amount of daily
difficulties, especially accommodation. In fact, according to the thoughts of many people,
house renting for non-Hanoi students is seemly affected by many main factors such as income
flow (including family’s support and part time job’s wages), the location in Hanoi and the
living conditions of renting house (WC, atmosphere, internet services, securities as well as
convenience of transportation). Nevertheless, there has not been any research done to test
whether these relationships exist or not. If they exist, we should find out how these factors have
influence on the house renting of non-Hanoi students in Hanoi. Moreover, finding the solution
to this problem based on causes can gain many benefits for those who are in concerns.
We hope that the test result will give us the overall view about the rent house of not only the
Hanu non-Hanoi students but also non-local students of many other universities in Hanoi. In
addition, based on what we discover, we could provide some useful advice to Universities and
Government in order to give some helps for non-Hanoi students about accommodations. These
actions would make development and facilitate for the students in studying and daily lives.
Where:
RNT: the house rent for one non-Hanoi student in Hanoi (VND million/month)
INF: the income flow of students including family’s support and part time’s wages (VND
million/month)
S: the area of house or room on average that the student rent (m 2 )
In the model, RNT is the dependent variable whereas the four variables standing on the right
side are the independent ones. There exists an inter-relationship among dependent variable and
independent ones. Before going through the model into detail, we would like to provide some
ideas about these variables.
First of all, RNT stands for how much a non - Hanoian student pays for his/her renting house
per month which is measured in million VND, this number may vary from some hundred
thousand VND to some millions VND depending on four variables mentioned below.
The second concept is INF that is the income inflow of students including the amount of money
that student’s family supports every month and the amount of money that student can earn due
to his/her part time’s wages(depending). There is a common belief that there exists a positive
relationship between the price of the renting house and the money inflow of students which
means that if students have more money, they usually choose a good living condition with
Next is the average area of the room-S which is measured in meter square. It is quite obvious
that the larger the room is, the more students pay for his/her room.
Thirdly, L is the location of your renting house in Hanoi, or in other words, in which district
your renting house is located. For this kind of variable, we base on the land price per meter
square on each district to measure the average monthly payment for a renting house. We assume
that, the higher the land price in that district is, the more a student pays for his/her renting house
in that district.
Finally, D is the dummy variable in our model. It is the evaluation of living condition including
WC, internet and some other criteria such as the security and convenience for transportation of
that renting house. This type of variable is one example of qualitative data because we cannot
measure it, just evaluating “good” or “bad”, “convenient” or “inconvenient”. As a result, we
D 1 : good
assume that:
D 0 : notgood
Above we have just provided you with some details about our five variables. Now it is time to
discuss the relationship among these variables.
In this part, we would like to present in detail the status of rent house and the mutual effect
between house rent and other independent variables.

Minimum 0.300000 1.000000 8.000000 7.000000
As can be seen from the table, the mean of RNT, VND 0.737143 million, is quite high in comparison
with the average level of students in Hanoi. This might be the result of high income inflow (VND
1.829714 million) and large area (15.42857 m2). Although their income inflow seems to be high as
mentioned above, most of FMT 07 student still chose the renting location which is suitable with their
pocket.

Income is the first factor students mostly pay attention when they rent a house. This amount comes
from family’s support and part-time job wages. There is common belief that FMT 07 students find
easier to rent a house if their income inflows are high.

Different district has different real estate price. Among the districts of Hanoi, Ba Dinh is valued the
highest average real estate price at 47VND mil/m2.Dong Da and Cau Giay above 20VND mil/m2.Tu
Liem and Thanh Tri accounts for relatively low under 10 VNDmil/m2.The result of research explains
for house rent in central place is too expensive. However, due to suitable location near their
universities, some students still have to rent house.

Among 35 students asked, only 5 of them counting for 14.29% dissatisfied with their living conditions.
In contrast, more than 85% of respondents highly appreciate the living conditions and that is the reason
why the above means and standard deviations of RNT, S and L are so large.
RESULTS
1. EVIEW TABLE RESULTS
1.1. Linear-Linear function
The eview table above shows that of the model ( is so low; and the p-value in contrast is
quite high. Therefore, some other functional forms of multiple regression functions that were run in
order to improve the result are log-log, log-linear, linear-log model; the following eview tables were
obtained:
For the purpose of selecting the best model among 4 models above, CV index is used:
The absolute value of is the smallest. Therefore, the linear-log model is the most preferred
equation that should be used.

It can be seen from the linear-log eview table that the p-values of some coefficients of independent
variables (0.9090, 0.8170, 0.7171) whereas R-square ( is not high. Therefore, we do the
hypothesis testing to find the most relevant variables for our model.

3.1. Heteroskedasticity:
The first error we checked in our model is heteroskedasticity. This error will happen when variances of
residuals in any model change according to changes in dependent and independent variables.
Heteroskedasticity leads to bigger variances of coefficients and unreliable t and F statistics.
For detection of this error, White test was used, testing the hypotheses:
Test Equation:
Dependent Variable: RESID^2
Method: Least Squares
Date: 12/04/09 Time: 03:02
Sample: 1 35
Included observations: 35
Collinear test regressors dropped from specification
W=Obs*R-squared=20.91770

=> Reject
Conclusion: There is the heteroskadasticity error existing in the model.
3.2. Multicolinearity
The error that we checked secondly in our model is multicollinearity. This phenomenon occurs when
there are some functional relationships existing among independent variables. If a model has this type
of error, it will have less accurate coefficients, insignificant t-statistics…
To detect multicollinearity, auxiliary regression was used. We ran the regression showing the
relationship among an independent variable - INF - and other remaining independent ones and got an
eview table as follows:

=> Not reject
=> There is no relationship among independent variables.
3.3. Autocorrelation
Finally, we check the autocorrelation error that is defined as “correlation between members of series of
observations ordered in time (as in time series data) or space (in cross- sectional data).
In order to detect this type of error, the Breusch-Godfrey (BG) Test of higher order autocorrelation is
used at 5% level of significance.
Autocorrelation exists
Run the residual test then we got the following table of eview table:

4. DISCUSSION
The value 0.350766 of R-square that means approximately 35% of the variance in the house renting
cost will be explained by the changes in the students’ income flow, the area of room rent, the average
real estate price and the living condition.
Except LOG (INF), P-values of coefficients of all the other independent variables are greater than α at
the 10%, 5% and 1% level of significance, therefore the coefficients of LOG(S), LOG(L) and
LOG(DUM) are statistically insignificant at the three level of α in the model.
The positive slope coefficients of all independent variables show the positive relationship between
them and the dependent variable. The below explanation will carry out with holding the other variables
constant.
̂
When the income flow increases by 1%, the house rent cost that one non-hanoian student is
willing to pay will increase by approximately VND 4,500 (=0.01*VND 0.466068 million) per
The monthly income flow of one student and the living condition of house rent affect on the house
rent cost of his/her per month. Whereas, there is a little relationship between the area of
room/house rent, the average price estate in Hanoi districts and the monthly house rent cost that
one non-hanoian student has to pay.
This project was conducted to investigate the influences of students’ income flow including family’s
supports and part time job’s wages, the location of that renting house in Hanoi, the area of the room on
average and the living condition (WC, atmosphere, internet, security and convenient for
transportation).
We attained 40 questionnaires in order to get the data. However, only 35 accurate respondents used to
fulfill this project. Along with whole-hearted instruction of econometrics-course lecturer, the
functional model showing the relationship among these variables and RNT was established. At first, we
ran ordinary least square method and obtained a linear equation. However, to improve the accuracy and
practical fitness as well as to reduce errors in the model, we transferred it to linear-log form and used
this model to evaluate the stated effects.
The following conclusions are drawn from the analysis of the data of all variables from 35
The change in the area of room or house rent, the average real estate price and monthly house
renting cost have the positive relationship. Especially, when the monthly income flow of one
non-hanoian student and the living condition of house rent fluctuate then they will positively
affect on the monthly house renting cost.
There are not only four factors mentioned in this report but also lots of other ones that have
influences on house rent for students; specially inflation that may us find difficulty in predicting
the house rent for students in different time.
The results from this project may encourage house hosts improve their renting room or house like
adding facilities or creating more convenience for students to increase monthly house rent. Moreover,
non-hanoian student can choose accommodation that most suitable with their pocket and interest. In
addition, Universities and Colleges as well as Government should pay attention more to the
accommodations of students such as build more hostels and may be rearranging the location of
Universities and Colleges in order to reduce accommodation - burden cost for non-local students.
We are not sure whether this report is highly evaluated or not in term of its practical application of the
result model but the most interesting and useful is that we could found and applied the theory of
ecometrics to reality as well as understand and explain its numbers and data. From my point of view, it
is the most important thing that teachers had expected us gain after doing this research. And we are
winners because of this achievement.
