Econometrics - Fuel Consumption Proyecto

PROJECT: FUEL CONSUMPTION

VARIABLES:
DEPENDENT VARIABLE (Y): FUEL CONSUMPTIOM
INDEPENDENT VARIABLES:
* NUMBERS OF CARS BY STATE IN EE.UU.
* MILLES OF ROADS BY STATE IN EE.UU.
* FUELPRICES BY STATE IN EE.UU.
* AVERAGE OF INCOMES BY STATE IN EE.UU.
* NUMBER OF AIRPORTS BY STATE IN EE.UU.

PORPUSE OF THE PROJECT:
The porpuse of my Project is calculate how can explainfuel consumption (independent variable) using any dependent variables.

POPULATION:
The population choosed to make my Project are the states (regions) the United States. n=50

HYPOTHESIS:
Myproject is to calculate fuel consumption (dependent variable) using different variables, what I used to be able to predict the fuel consumption in the future.
First, I have chosen the firstindependent variable, the number of cars on U.S. state, because if most cars today, using gasoline, a larger number of cars, higher gasoline consumption.
Second, the number of kilometers (milles) of roads bystate, because, the higher the possible path of a car on a highway, probably fuel consumption of that car will be higher.
The third variable is composed of gasoline prices in each state. This is todetermine whether, higher gasoline prices, consumption decreases, thinking about the laws of supply and demand.
Fourth, another independent variable is the average state income. I think that thisvariable should influence as possibly can have more income to spend more money on fuel. Having more income, you can determine for example, to buy two cars, which will consume more fuel. Like, if you havelimited income, you think meet your basic needs, rather than spending your income on fuel.
Finally, I have chosen the number of airports as an independent variable. The number of airports candetermine the territory of a state, the number of people living in it .... on the other hand, the planes require substantial amounts of gasoline. Based on this, the largest number of airports should...
