An increase in input costs in the production of electric automobiles caused the price of electric automobiles to rise. Holding everything else constant, how would this affect the market for gasoline-powered automobiles (a substitute for electric automobiles)?
Haricharan G.
Suppose that in the market for electric cars there are two simultaneous changes that occur. A new technology lowers the costs of the batteries included in electric cars. Also, the price of gas powered vehicles, a substitute for electric cars, falls substantially. What is the impact of these effects on the market for electric cars (depict each separately)? (Note: one relates to demand and the other to supply, the answer to this question is about the net outcome of both effects.)

Show the change in the market for electric cars that is consistent with the following statement: "When the price of electric cars is expected to rise in the near future, the present price of electric cars rises."
