Other Things Constant
Other Things Constant
◆
“Other things constant” in our definition
of demand means that all other factors
that affect the analysis are assumed to
remain constant, whether they actually
remain constant or not.
◆
These factors may include changing
tastes, prices of other goods, even the
weather.
