eg sheeps wool and lamb
crops and bio fuel
joint demand
another term for complementary goods
competing demand
Competing demand is just another way of describing two goods which are substitutes. An increase in the price of one good will increase the demand for the other as people substitute towards the cheaper good. Goods in competing demand therefore have a positive XED.
composite demand
A good is in composite demand when it is demanded for two or 2 or more separate or different uses.
for example if alimumium is in compsoite demand with cans and cars
if cars increase there demand for aluminium this will shift the demand curve to the right this will then increase the supply curve for cars to the right however this will shift the supply for cans to the left as there is less aluminium to supply for them

eg pllastic wood etc
or eg Bricks are in derived demand in order to produce houses. An increase in demand for houses will increase the production of houses. This will increase the derived demand for bricks from house-builders.
