One of the assumptions that economists sometimes use to frame their models is to specify that some variables will be held constant, a concept that’s expressed with the Latin phrase ceteris paribus.

Keynesian economics suggests that, ceteris paribus, the federal government should run surpluses in the good times and deficits in the bad times, thereby ameliorating the low and high amplitudes of inevitable economic downturns and upturns.

Joining the defense of slimy political figures such as Manafort makes one, ceteris paribus, into a slimy political figure.

They ought to compete ceteris paribus—another Latin phrase, beloved of economists, which means “with all else being equal”.

The evidence shows that occupational licensing does serve to increase the wages of electricians, ceteris paribus, but the evidence on plumbers was mixed and inconclusive.
