Abstract
In this essay we are concerned with how the application of multi-dimensional graphs (or Cartesian Spaces) can enable the relaxation or minimization of ceteris paribus assumption in economic models. Nonetheless, we agree that ceteris paribus assumption is necessary in 2-Dimensional and 3-Dimensional graphical methods in economic models to explain the behavior of different economic phenomenon in the real world.
