Question
Explain the effect of a rise in the prices of ‘related goods’ on the demand for a good X.

Solution
The effect depends on the relationship between the goods. If a related good is a substitute for X, its price rise increases demand for X. If it is a complement to X, its price rise reduces demand for X. A change in the price of an unrelated good does not affect demand for X.
