In this guide, and in a subsequent summary article, he produced ''Ten Commandments of Applied Econometrics.'' These are that ''Thou shalt: # ''Use common sense and economic theory'' # ''Ask the right question'' # ''Know the context'' # ''Inspect the data'' # ''Not worship complexity'' # ''Look long and hard at thy results'' # ''Beware the costs of data mining'' # ''Be willing to compromise'' # ''Not confuse statistical significance with substance'' # ''Confess in the presence of sensitivity.''〔http://forecasters.org/pdfs/foresight/free/issue20garcia-ferrer.pdf〕 He was born in Toronto and grew up close by in Port Credit.
