Like the law of demand, the law of supply only holds if we specify that other things, which might affect output decisions, are not changing when the market price changes.

The Law of Supply: If nothing else changes which affects supply, an increase in market price will lead to an increase in desired quantity supplied, and a decrease in market price will lead to a decrease in desired quantity supplied.
