The 49 pages that link to Deadweight loss, each with the reason it gives.

• MonopolyRelated: Restricted output can leave trades unrealized that would have benefited buyers and sellers.

• ExternalityRelated: Unpriced spillovers can push output away from the socially efficient level.

• Market failureRelated: It expresses the efficiency loss associated with a market failure.

• Consumer surplusRelated: A policy can reduce consumer surplus while also eliminating gains from trade.

• Free tradeRelated: Trade barriers can prevent trades that would benefit buyers and sellers.

• Tax incidenceRelated: Tax-induced changes in quantity create efficiency losses alongside the burden’s distribution.

• Supply and demandRelated: Interventions or market frictions can prevent trades the model predicts would benefit both sides.

• Transaction CostCompared with: Transaction costs may cause deadweight loss, but the two concepts describe different things.

• TariffRelated: Tariffs can suppress trade whose benefits exceed its costs, creating losses beyond transfers.

• Progressive taxationRelated: Higher marginal tax rates can discourage some work, investment, or income reporting.

• ProtectionismRelated: Higher prices and reduced trade can create losses that are not captured by protected producers.

• Perfect competitionRelated: The competitive benchmark helps identify surplus lost through taxes, market power, or other distortions.

• Price discriminationRelated: Some forms of discriminatory pricing expand output and reduce this loss; others do not.

• Rent-seekingRelated: Rent-seeking can waste resources without producing offsetting value, adding losses beyond wealth transfers.

• Market powerRelated: Prices above competitive levels can reduce output and prevent beneficial transactions.

• Producer surplusRelated: It captures potential gains, including producer surplus, lost through inefficient market outcomes.

• Marginal costRelated: Pricing above marginal cost can exclude units whose value exceeds their production cost.

• MonopsonyRelated: Restricting purchases below the competitive quantity leaves mutually beneficial trades unrealized.

• Land value taxRelated: Because land supply is fixed, taxing its value is often argued to create less distortion than taxing production.

• MarketRelated: Restrictions or market failures can prevent beneficial exchanges.

• Coase theoremRelated: Bargaining can remove losses from inefficient resource use when its assumptions hold.

• Income taxRelated: Income taxes can alter work and investment decisions, reducing total surplus.

• Industrial organizationRelated: It captures the welfare cost of restricted output or distorted pricing.

• Market equilibriumRelated: Policies that prevent market-clearing trades can create this loss.

• AdditionalityRelated: Deadweight is the non-additional share that must be excluded from claimed impact.

• Price ceilingRelated: Trades that would occur at equilibrium may disappear when the ceiling reduces supply or distorts allocation.

• Profit maximizationRelated: Market power can make profit-maximizing output lower than the efficient level.

• Trade diversionRelated: Buying from a higher-cost member can waste resources relative to sourcing from outsiders.

• First welfare theoremRelated: It measures departures from the efficiency benchmark established by the theorem.

• Supply-side economicsRelated: Supply-side arguments often invoke reduced distortions as a channel through which tax changes can improve efficiency.

• Import quotaRelated: Imports excluded by the quota can create lost gains for buyers and sellers.

• Price controlsRelated: A binding control can prevent mutually beneficial trades and reduce total surplus.

• Allocative efficiencyRelated: It measures welfare forgone when output or exchange departs from the efficient level.

• Economic efficiencyCompared with: It measures surplus forgone when an allocation falls short of a relevant efficiency benchmark.

• Agricultural policyRelated: Price interventions and trade barriers can create efficiency costs beyond transfers between groups.

• Corporate taxRelated: Corporate taxation can alter investment and production decisions, creating costs beyond revenue collected.

• Henry GeorgeRelated: George argued that taxing land value would avoid much of the output loss caused by taxes on production.

• PriceRelated: Price controls or market distortions can prevent trades that would benefit both sides.

• Tax expenditureRelated: Tax preferences can alter choices and generate efficiency costs beyond their fiscal cost.

• ElasticityRelated: Elasticities influence how much trade and surplus a tax or price control eliminates.

• Market efficiencyRelated: It quantifies efficiency losses from taxes, market power, or other distortions.

• Tax baseRelated: Taxing a base can discourage the transactions that generate it.

• The Single TaxRelated: Supporters claim taxing fixed land supply creates less distortion than taxes on work or investment.

• Laffer curveRelated: It captures activity discouraged by taxation that generates neither private benefit nor public revenue.

• Public economicsRelated: Tax-induced behavioral changes can reduce gains from trade beyond the revenue collected.

• Private goodRelated: Taxes, market power, or other barriers can reduce trade in private goods and create this loss.

• Indirect taxRelated: An indirect tax can reduce mutually beneficial transactions and create this loss.

• James MirrleesRelated: Higher taxes can finance redistribution but reduce work incentives and create efficiency losses.

• Market interventionRelated: Some interventions prevent mutually beneficial trades or redirect resources toward lower-value uses.
