La Demande des Biens Indirects
Rene Roy
Abstract
The demand for intermediate commodities is related to the demand to the final commodities in the production of which they enter. It is shown how their elasticities are determined by the technical conditions of production as well as the market for the final products. In particular, positive price elasticities may appear if the fixed cost is an important part of the production expenses. The model is fairly simple but can easily be generalized.
