Michelle said "ceteris paribus", which economists use a lot, including on Statalist and in the Stata FAQs:
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2004-10/msg00245.html
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/bias.html
but you wrote "ceribus paribus". For those of us, like me, with no Latin training and a soft spot for using these phrases anyway, can you enlighten us on the difference?
Cheers,
Mark
