Ceteris Paribus Assumption: In order to test an hypothesis we need to keep constant other factors that may affect it. Other things are called ceteris paribus factors. The last step in the process is to evaluate the hypothesis. We have two possibilities-data and hypothesis agree-- data and hypothesis don't agree. The data and hypothesis agree. - Because we can not prove an absolute, this possibility gives us support for the hypothesis, but not absolute proof that it is correct.
- To get a proof, we need to test the hypothesis many times under several different conditions. But even then, we can not be 100%, absolutely certain.
- With growing certainty of the validity of the hypothesis, it becomes a principle and is added to the theory for an expanded theory.

AUTONOMOUS NET EXPORTS Net exports by the foreign sector that do not depend on income or production (especially national income or gross domestic product). That is, changes in income do not generate changes in net exports. Autonomous net exports are best thought of as net exports that the foreign sector undertakes independent of income. They are measured by the intercept term of the net exports line. The alternative to autonomous net exports is induced net exports, which do depend on income.
