Y1 9) Interrelated Markets (Complements, Substitutes, Derived & Composite Demand, Joint Supply)
TLDRThis video script explores the interrelated nature of markets for complementary and substitute goods. It explains how changes in the price of one good affect the demand for related goods, using examples like printers and ink, razors and blades for complements, and coke and pepsi for substitutes. The script also delves into concepts of derived demand, composite demand, and joint supply, illustrating how demand for inputs can increase or supply can decrease due to production changes, affecting related markets.
Takeaways
- 📈 Complements are goods that are in joint demand and are usually bought together, such as printers and ink, coffee machines and capsules, and razors and blades.
- 📉 An increase in the price of a complement (e.g., printers) leads to a contraction in demand for the other complement (e.g., printer ink), shifting demand to the left on the market diagram.
- 📌 The relationship between the price of a complement and its demand is inverse; a decrease in price extends demand for the complement.
- 🔄 Substitute goods are in competitive demand and are rivals to each other, such as Coke and Pepsi, Big Mac and Whopper, and iPhone and Samsung Galaxy.
- 🔃 An increase in the price of a substitute good (e.g., Coke) shifts demand for the other substitute (e.g., Pepsi) to the right, increasing its demand.
- 🔻 Conversely, a decrease in the price of a substitute (e.g., Coke) causes demand for the other substitute (e.g., Pepsi) to shift to the left, decreasing its demand.
- 🔄 Derived demand is when the demand for a good or service comes from the demand for something else, such as aluminum being derived from the demand for cars.
- 📊 An increase in demand for the primary good or service (e.g., cars) leads to an increase in derived demand for the input (e.g., aluminum).
- 🧀 Composite demand occurs when two goods require the same input, and an increase in production of one good (e.g., cheese) can reduce the supply of the other good (e.g., butter) due to the shared input (e.g., milk).
- 🐝 Joint supply is when the production of one good naturally increases the supply of another good, often because the second good is a byproduct, like beeswax from honey production.
- 📈 An increase in the production of a good with joint supply (e.g., honey) results in an increase in the supply of the byproduct (e.g., beeswax), shifting the supply curve to the right.
Q & A
What are complements in the context of goods and markets?
-Complements are goods that are in joint demand, meaning they are usually bought together, such as printers and printer ink, coffee machines and capsules, or razors and blades.
How does an increase in the price of printers affect the demand for printer ink?
-An increase in the price of printers leads to a contraction of demand for printers. This, in turn, shifts the demand for printer ink to the left, resulting in less consumer willingness and ability to purchase printer ink.
What happens to the demand for razor blades when the price of razors decreases?
-When the price of razors decreases, it leads to an extension of demand for razors. This causes the demand for razor blades to shift to the right, as more people purchase razor blades along with the now cheaper razors.
Can you provide an example of substitute goods in the market?
-Examples of substitute goods include Coke and Pepsi, Big Mac and Whopper, and Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy, which are all very similar and compete with each other in the market.
How does the price change of a substitute good affect the demand for another substitute good?
-When the price of a substitute good increases, the demand for another substitute good shifts to the right, as consumers are more willing to buy the alternative. Conversely, when the price decreases, the demand for the substitute shifts to the left.
What is derived demand and how does it relate to input demand?
-Derived demand is the demand for a good or service that comes from the demand for something else. It is also known as input demand, where the demand for an input increases as the demand for the final product that requires the input increases.
Give an example of derived demand in the context of the automobile industry.
-Aluminum is an example of derived demand in the automobile industry. The demand for aluminum comes from the demand for cars, as aluminum is used in the production of cars.
What is composite demand and how does it differ from joint supply?
-Composite demand is when two goods require the same input to make them, and an increase in production of one good can decrease the supply of the other due to less input availability. Joint supply, on the other hand, is when the production of one good naturally increases the supply of another good, often because the second good is a byproduct of the first.
How does an increase in demand for cheese affect the supply of butter in the market?
-An increase in demand for cheese leads to more production of cheese, which uses milk as an input. This increased use of milk can reduce the supply of butter, as there is less milk available for butter production.
Can you explain the concept of joint supply using the example of honey and beeswax?
-Joint supply is exemplified by honey and beeswax, where an increase in the production of honey naturally increases the supply of beeswax, as beeswax is a byproduct of honey production.
How does the production of crude oil affect the supply of petroleum and paraffin?
-The production of crude oil directly affects the supply of petroleum and paraffin because both require crude oil for their production. An increase in crude oil production will naturally lead to an increase in the supply of petroleum and paraffin.

🔗 Understanding Complementary and Substitute Goods
This paragraph introduces the concept of interrelated markets through the lens of complementary and substitute goods. Complements are goods typically purchased together, such as printers and ink, coffee machines and capsules, or razors and blades. The video script explains how a change in the price of one good affects the demand for its complement. For instance, if the price of printers increases, the demand for printer ink contracts, shifting to the left on the demand curve. Conversely, if the price of a complement decreases, the demand for related goods extends, shifting the demand to the right. The script also touches on substitute goods, which are competitive and similar, like Coke and Pepsi, and how a price change in one affects the demand for the other in the opposite direction.
📈 Derived and Composite Demand: The Interplay of Market Forces
The second paragraph delves into derived and composite demand, which are concepts where the demand for one good or service is influenced by the demand for another. Derived demand is exemplified by inputs like aluminum for cars, labor for economic growth, and airline travel for holidays abroad. When the demand for a product or service increases, so does the demand for its necessary inputs. Composite demand, on the other hand, occurs when two goods share the same input, leading to a decrease in the supply of one good if the production of the other increases. Examples include bread and livestock both requiring wheat, or cheese and butter both requiring milk. Joint supply is also discussed, where the production of one good increases the supply of another, often a byproduct, such as honey and beeswax. The script concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding these market relationships for a comprehensive view of economic interactions.

Highlights
Markets for goods can be interrelated, with goods being either complements or substitutes.
Complements are goods usually bought together, such as printers and ink, coffee machines and capsules, or razors and blades.
An increase in the price of a complement, like printers, leads to a decrease in demand for the other complement, such as printer ink.
A decrease in the price of a complement, like razors, results in an increase in demand for the other complement, such as razor blades.
Substitutes are goods that are in competitive demand, like Coke and Pepsi, Big Mac and Whopper, or Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy.
An increase in the price of a substitute, like Coke, leads to an increase in demand for its substitute, like Pepsi.
A decrease in the price of a substitute, like Coke, results in a decrease in demand for its substitute, like Pepsi.
Derived demand occurs when the demand for a good or service comes from the demand for something else, such as aluminum from cars.
Composite demand happens when two goods require the same input, leading to a decrease in supply of one when the other's production increases, like cheese and butter.
Joint supply is when the increase in production of one good increases the supply of another, often a byproduct, like honey and beeswax.
The interrelationship between markets can be shown through diagrams, illustrating shifts in demand and supply for complements and substitutes.
Derived demand is exemplified by the increase in demand for inputs when the demand for the final product increases, such as labor for economic growth.
Composite demand is illustrated by the decrease in supply of one good when the production of another, requiring the same input, increases.
Joint supply is shown by the increase in supply of a byproduct when the production of the primary good increases, such as beeswax from honey production.
Understanding the interrelationship between markets is crucial for analyzing how changes in one market can affect others.
The video provides a comprehensive overview of how markets for complements, substitutes, derived demand, composite demand, and joint supply are interconnected.
