Cross price changes (impact of a change in the price of one good on the quantity demanded of another good)

Substitutes (goods that satisfy similar wants): an increase in the price of one good leads to an increase in the quantity demanded of the other good.

Complements (goods that tend to be used together): an increase in the price of one good leads to a decrease in the quantity demanded of the other good.

Unrelated goods: an increase in the price of one good has no impact on the quantity demanded of other good.

1.7 Price changes: Slutsky decomposition

Price change

Substitution effect the effect of a price change on quantity demanded due exclusively to the fact that its relative price has changed

Income effect

the effect of a price change on quantity demanded due exclusively to the fact that the consumer’s real income has changed
