Ceteris paribus

Alex Rosenberg There must be some obvious defect in this explanation, so let me try it out on you. The first component is that inequality is the result of an incentive structure that makes some people work much harder than other people. The second is that harder work ceteris paribus produces higher mortality and morbidity, and the third is that higher morbidity at lower socioeconomic status plus contagion leads to higher morbidity and mortality at higher socioeconomic status - end of story. 

The main problem here is the uncertainty of the ceteris paribus condition. The authors painstakingly attempt to make the adjustments required by other... 

Assuming that a linear approximation can be made for the correlation between the sectoral employment level and the sectoral production level, the quantitative impacts on employment are calculated using job coefficients. Of course, the constant input-output coefficients are a strong assumption and could be criticised (Zhang and Folmer, 1998). However, structural effects could be analysed in a ceteris-paribus analysis with the chosen approach. 

This is not the only sector in which regulation is subject to supply disruptions. The electrical power industry is another example (loskow 1989). In general, a solution is to set payment over cto the extent that quality is a concern (Laffont and Tirole 1993 p. 233). Ceteris paribus, this will raise the returns to the manufacturers relative to the consumer surplus. 

While the new mines increase mid-term supplies, they do not extend industry life. Ceteris paribus, as fuel prices rise, mines with high water ratios are apt to close unless some form of hydrodynamic mining can be introduced (3). If normal depletion curves are used rather than constant production rates, Frasch industry life is extended but at the cost of lower short and mid-term production. 

Grabowski, Vernon, and DiMasi (2002) have reported that only 30 per cent of marketed products will reach breakeven and only 10 per cent will return a profit. Whether one agrees with their estimates of the cost of R D, the key point is this regulatory approval does not guarantee profitability rather, it is the market environment into which the product is launched and the intrinsic value of the product as perceived in the marketplace that ceteris paribus determines profitability. 

Adulteration op Isinglass.—The quality of cut isinglass is estimated, says Dr. Redwood,—1. By its color that which is cut fine by machinery being, ceteris paribus, the whitest and generally most esteemed. 2.. By the odor emitted after breathing upon it that being the best which is least disagreeable in this respect. 3. By the extent of ite solubility in water, i. By the con-... 

Ceteris paribus, a cultural studies program, is more likely to hire faculty with Ph.D.s in geography or history or literature than from some other cultural studies program. 

I have not proposed any theory of collective action, only a list of variables that at best correlate ceteris paribus with collective action. ("At best". 

The first issue, universal quantification, is a requirement that there be no exceptions to a law. It must be "in all cases" or "in no case." Even "in the vast majority of cases" will not do. The problem with this clause is an implicit ceteris paribus requirement for most laws (Cartwright, 1983). Newton s law of gravitation, for example, is a perfectly respectable law of nature in the epistemological and historical senses. It purports to quantify the force of interaction between a pair of massive objects. It has been empirically verified by measurement of the force between a pair of suspended metal spheres in a laboratory. But the law does not quantify the force, even as an approximation, if we take the trouble to provide the spheres with an electrostatic charge. 

Interdiscourse relations (bridge laws, supervenience, or emergence relations) are empirical ceteris paribus regularities, not metaphysical necessities—the only circumstances in which they might apply strictly, are model situations, completely isolated from the rest of the universe... 

According to the modular approach, components of the fluorosensor can be changed at will. For instance, it could be of some interest to replace the quad-ridentate receptors of systems 4 and 5 by their cyclic counterparts, to obtain 6 and 7 [8]. The reason of the interest is that, ceteris paribus, cyclic ligands form more stable metal complexes than their open-chain analogues (the thermodynamic macrocyclic effect [12]). The tetramine receptor in 6 has the skeleton of the classical 14-membered macrocycle cyclam, whereas the receptor subunit of 7 refers to the other well-known object of macrocyclic chemistry dioxocyclam. 

Regarding the dependence of the reaction efficiency on the dimensionality of the compartmentalized system, the studies reported in Sections III.B.3 and III.B.4 on processes taking place on sets of fractal dimension showed that, consistent with the results found for spaces of integer dimension, the higher the dimensionality of the lattice, the more efficient the trapping process, ceteris paribus. Processes within layered diffusion spaces, which can be characterized using an approach based on the stochastic master equation (4.3), show a gradual transition in reaction efficiency from the behavior expected in c( = 2 to that in = 3 as the number k of layers increases from fe = 1 to k = 11. 

There are also attempts to use property values to evaluate losses firom groundwater degradation (see, for example, Malone and Barrows, 1990). The ideals that contamination of wells in an area, ceteris paribus, will cause property values in that area to be lower than property values in uncontaminated areas. Malone and Barrows (1990) analysed property transactions of residences with nitrate-contaminated wells in Portage County, Wisconsin, but found no statistically significant effect of nitrate contamination on property values. However, it was concluded that contamination did create household-level costs, such as sellers remediation or treatment of the problem prior to the sale. 

Da Temperaturerhohung im Sinne steigender Dissoziation wirkt, ist ceteris paribus der erzielbare Trenneffekt bei tiefer Temperatur besser als bei hoherer. 

Since the study of all potential factors is usually prohibitive, the effect of selected factors will be investigated and the remaining factors should be kept as constant as possible. This general principle is known as the ceteris paribus principle.
