Solution
The research indicates that the cross elasticity of the two products is negative, so that beer and marijuana are complements. This is because an increase in the price of beer leads to a decrease in the consumption of marijuana. In economics, when the price of one good increases and the demand for another good decreases, the two goods are considered complements.
