According to Wikipedia, Peter E. Kennedy was a Canadian economist who taught for many years at the Simon Fraser University. His most famous work was his noted textbook, A Guide to Econometrics. 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 theoryAsk the right questionKnow the contextInspect the dataNot worship complexityLook long and hard at thy resultsBeware the costs of data miningBe willing to compromiseNot confuse statistical significance with substanceConfess in the presence of sensitivity.He was born in Toronto and grew up close by in Port Credit. He was educated at Queen's University, graduating in 1965, and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he received his Ph.D. in 1968. He worked briefly at Cornell University in 1968 before moving to Simon Fraser University that same year. He remained at SFU for the next 43 years and was appointed an emeritus professor in 2008.
