| | Ceteris paribus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A ceteris paribus assumption is often fundamental to the predictive purpose of scientific inquiry. |
| | Experimentally, the ceteris paribus assumption is realized when a scientist controls for all of the independent variables other than the one under study, so that the effect of a single independent variable on the dependent variable can be isolated. |
| | One of the disciplines in which ceteris paribus clauses are most widely used is economics, in which they are employed to simplify the formulation and description of economic outcomes. |
