Fall 2005 Homework 2 − Data Pitfalls − Due Sept. 14
Dr. Stanley D. Longhofer MW 9:30-10:
In the Plane Vista Apartment example, the authors collected data on land use from the county appraiser’s office. The authors also collected employment data by industry from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for the area. The authors then matched the land use codes as closely as possible to industry codes. Then “for about 20 major land use/industry groups, we divide the total enclosed building space from our property data by the total employment in the associated industry.” This yielded the authors a rough measure of space per employee.
Questions to answer:
What land use description is listed for the Wichita Eagle building on the Sedgwick County Appraiser’s website? (http://www.sedgwickcounty.org/)
What building style description is listed for the Wichita Eagle building on the Sedgwick County Appraiser’s website?
How would the Wichita Eagle company be classified under NAICS?
What, if any, impact would this information have on the analysis methods used in the Plane Vista Apartment example?
Write a 1-page summary of your findings and be prepared to discuss in class.
Helpful hints: the Wichita Eagle is located at 825 E. Douglas, Wichita, Kansas. The Wichita Eagle is both a newspaper printer and a newspaper publisher combined.
Note the title of the assignment – there is a pitfall to be found in this exercise!
