Study Notes
Complement Goods & Joint Demand
- Complement goods are demanded together (e.g., milk and cereal).
- A rise in the quantity demanded of one complement increases the demand and price of the other.
Substitute Goods & Competitive Demand
- Substitute goods can replace each other (e.g., beef and pork).
- A rise in the price of one substitute increases the demand and price of the other.
Derived Demand
- Derived demand exists when goods are demanded because they're needed to produce other goods (e.g., steel for cars).
- Demand for intermediate goods is dependent on the final product's demand.
Joint Supply
- Joint supply occurs when one good is supplied for multiple purposes (e.g., cows for beef and leather).
- Increased demand for one good in joint supply increases its price and quantity supplied, potentially impacting the price of the other good. The supply of the other good increases, leading to a fall in its price.
Derived Demand vs. Joint Demand
- Derived demand is the demand for a product used as a raw material or intermediate good, depending on the final product demand.
- Joint demand involves products consumed together or that complement each other. The demand is influenced by the other product.
