Productivity Accounting procedure

1 The process of calculating is best understood by applying the term ceteris paribus, i.e. "all other things being the same," stating that at a time only the impact of one changing factor

be introduced to the phenomenon being examined. Therefore, the calculation can be presented as a process advancing step by

step. First, the impacts of the income distribution process are calculated, and then,

the impacts of the real process on the profitability of the production.

Economics

1 Mainstream economic theory relies upon a priori quantitative economic models, which employ a variety of concepts. Theory typically proceeds with an assumption of ceteris paribus, which

means holding constant explanatory variables other than the one under consideration. When creating theories, the objective is to find ones

which are at least as simple in information requirements, more precise in predictions, and more fruitful in generating additional research

than prior theories.

Ceteris paribus

1 or is a Latin phrase meaning with other things the same or all other things being equal or held constant. A prediction or a

statement about a ontic|causal, epistemic|empirical, or inductive logic|logical relation

Ceteris paribus

1 A 'ceteris paribus assumption' is often key to scientific inquiry, as scientists seek to

screen out factors that perturb a relation of interest. Thus, epidemiologists seek to control independent variables as factors

that may influence dependent variables—the outcomes or effects of interest.

Likewise, in scientific modeling, simplifying assumptions permit illustration or

elucidation of concepts thought relevant within the sphere of inquiry.

Ceteris paribus

1 The focus on universal laws is a criterion distinguishing fundamental

physics as fundamental science, whereas ceteris paribus laws are

remains unchanged while policy changes is inadmissible as a substantive isolation

Placebo-controlled study - Indexing

1 In certain clinical trials of particular drugs, it may happen that the level

of the placebo responses manifested by the trial's subjects are either considerably higher or lower (in

relation to the active drug's effects) than one would expect from other

trials of similar drugs. In these cases, Ceteris paribus|with all other things

being equal, it is reasonable to conclude that:

Partial derivative

1 In mathematics, a 'partial derivative' of a function (mathematics)|function of several variables is its derivative

with respect to one of those variables, Ceteris paribus|with the

others held constant (as opposed to the total derivative, in which all

variables are allowed to vary). Partial derivatives are used in vector

calculus and differential geometry.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-ceteris-paribus-toolkit.html

Social welfare function - Arrow social welfare function (constitution)

1 Along earlier lines, his version of a social welfare function, also called a

'constitution', maps a set of individual orderings (ordinal utility

functions) for everyone in the society to a social ordering, a rule for ranking alternative social states (say passing

an enforceable law or not, ceteris paribus)

Law of diminishing returns

1 The law of diminishing returns states that in all productive processes,

adding more of one factor of production, while holding all others constant (ceteris paribus), will at

some point yield lower incremental per-unit returns. The law of

diminishing returns does not imply that adding more of a factor will decrease the total production, a

condition known as 'negative returns', though in fact this is

common.

Income elasticity of demand

1 In economics, 'income Elasticity (economics)|elasticity of Supply and demand|demand' measures the responsiveness of the

demand for a good to a change in the income of the people demanding the good, ceteris

paribus. It is calculated as the ratio of the percentage change in demand to the

percentage change in income. For example, if, in response to a 10% increase in income, the

demand for a good increased by 20%, the income elasticity of demand would be 20%/10%

The Ultimate Resource - Population

1 A large section of the book is dedicated to showing how population growth ultimately

creates more resources. The basic argument echoes the overarching thesis: as resources become more scarce, the

price rises, creating an incentive to adapt. It suggests that the more a society has to invent and innovate, ceteris paribus, the more easily the society will raise its living

standards and lower resource scarcity.
