Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The demand for Yu Darvish's services is derived from the demand for Texas Rangers' tickets when he plays, as fans are more likely to attend games when he is pitching. This means that Darvish's demand is indirectly related to his productivity on the field, and is therefore not unrelated or horizontal. Additionally, it is not an output demand, as that would refer to the demand for the output produced by Darvish's services, such as the number of strikeouts he achieves.
