A demand curve is an accurate tool for predicting the decisions of consumers as long as price and all other factors remain the same. This is known as the ceteris paribus assumption, which means "all other things being equal." It allows economists to isolate the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded, without the influence of other variables.
