Interrelationship between markets Flashcards
Joint supply
When one good is produced, another good is also produced from the same raw materials, perhaps as a by-product
Example of joint supply
The demand for beef increases(possibly due to rising i comes in economically developing countries), with the slaughter of more cows to meet this demand leading to production of more cow hides, which increases the supply of leather
Joint supply interrelationsjip
A rise in the price of the first good leads to a rightward shift of the supply curve of the other good in joint supply, so the price of this good falls
Competitive demand
When a good is viewed by consumers as an alternative for another good
Examples of products in competitive demand
Sony and Xbox comsoles
Composite demand
Demand for a good which has more than one use, which means an increase in demand for one use of the good reduces the supply of the good for an alternative use
Reasons for high food prices
Growth in production of biofuel - more wheat and maize is used for biofuel, so less is a ailable for food
Derived demand
Demand for a good or factor of production, wanted not for its own sake, but as a consequence of the demand for something else
Example of derived demand
If the demand for cars falls, so does the demand for engines and gear boxes
