Changes

''' Ceteris paribus''' is an expression derived from [[Latin]] and commonly used in [[economics]]. It means "all else being equal". Changes to economic variables cannot be examined in real life independently, as related variables are changing constantly. Ceteris paribus refers to this hypothetical vacuum. For example, we can say that "ceteris paribus, people buy less apples when the price of apples goes up", meaning that the statement is true, after accounting for all other factors, such as the price of other [[goods]], people's [[income]], availability of apples, etc.
