Economists use the ceteris paribus assumption to isolate the effects of one variable while holding all other relevant factors constant. This simplification allows for clearer analysis and understanding of cause-and-effect relationships in economic models. By focusing on a single variable, economists can better predict outcomes and assess the impact of changes without the complexity of multiple interacting influences. However, this assumption also means that real-world scenarios may be more complicated, requiring further analysis.
