	Chapter 8
		Taxes have deadweight losses because they cause buyers to consume less and sellers to produce less, and this change in behavior shrinks the size of the market below the level that maximizes total surplus.
		deadweight loss: the fall in total surplus that results from a market distortion, such as a tax.
		The deadweight loss is the area of a triangle and the area of a triangle depends on the square of its size.

	Deadweight loss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In economics, a deadweight loss (also known as excess burden) is a loss of economic efficiency that can occur when equilibrium for a good or service is not Pareto optimal.
		The term deadweight loss may also be referred to as the "excess burden of monopoly" or the "excess burden of taxation".
		The latter is related to the concept of consumer surplus, such that it can be shown that the Marshallian deadweight loss is zero where demand is perfectly elastic or supply is perfectly inelastic.

	Sensei's Library: Deadweight value of thickness
		The Deadweight Value of Thickness is what you can expect to earn from some thickness simply by virtue of its being there, without you directly attempting to use it.
		For example, if the deadweight value of the thickness gained from ceding the opponent some territory exceeds the value of that territory, then you can be certain that the trade is favourable.
		NOTE I did see on one of Steve Fawthrop's (or was it Dieter's?)KGS/Wings talks an idea for counting thickness in which one claimed all vacant points within 3 points of the thickness, using Manhattan distances.

	Deadweight Loss
		Deadweight loss is a pitfall of most kinds of taxation, but not of tax that falls on land values.
		Deadweight loss is a concept understood by economists but not by the general public.
		Nations in the European Community are now required to publish their calculations about the deadweight loss of the various tax schemes being reviewed, precisely because of the recognition of its importance as a factor of production.

	Deadweight losses - Austrian Economics Forum
		Deadweight loss and rent-seeking costs are separable aspects of the broader category of welfare costs.
		By deadweight loss I understand the net value of trades (sum of "producer" and "consumer" surplus) that are foregone.
		Deadweight loss refers to the values lost associated with the production and exchange that is no longer carried out.

	Ink 19 :: Deadweight
		The opening track to Deadweight's Half-Wit Anthems is somewhat of a sleeper -- after all, chunky chunkas and wailing guitars is the flavor-du-jour.
		For you see, Deadweight make their racket using violin and cello instead of the traditional guitar and bass.
		It may sound like shtick, but Deadweight's competence goes beyond the novelty of their chosen instruments, and it's a credit to them that it's not particularly obvious at first.

	In the Agora: "The Deadweight Loss of Christmas"
		And Waldfogel stipulates that the deadweight loss extends to "Hanukkah and other holidays with gift-giving rituals." The potential loss to our economy from all such rituals must be huge.
		Deadweight losses are highest where the giver is most ignorant of the preferences of the recipient, for example, an elderly member of the recipient's extended family.
		The second and third hypotheses don't seem to be useful for refuting the deadweight loss argument because it would only seem to work when the giver is reasonably assured of the recipient's preferences.

	Answers to Chapter 11 Problems
		Deadweight social losses occur whenever marginal benefit and marginal cost are not equal.
		So while people may not consciously avoid paying the tax by changing their behavior, they may change their behavior nonetheless simply because the price for the good or service is too high once a tax is imposed on it.
		The deadweight social loss from the tax represents the consumer and producer surplus that people would have obtained from the trades prevented by the tax.

	What is deadweight loss, really
		Deadweight loss is an inefficiency in the market.
		Imposing a tax on consumers will result in the same triangle and the same deadweight loss, but the new equilibrium point is at the bottom (not the top) of the triangle.
		The triangle defining deadweight loss is now on the right side of the old equilibrium, but the way we find it is the same.

	D+T Leitenberger: CPB5000 Deadweight Tester - Pressure Balance
		Deadweight Tester (Pressure Balances) are the most accurate instruments for the calibration of electronic or mechanical pressure measuring instruments.
		The direct measurement of pressure, according to its definition as a quotient of force and area, and the use of high-quality materials result in small uncertainties of measurement and an excellent long-term stability of five years.
		For these reasons, deadweight testers have already been used in calibration laboratories of industry, national institutes and research labs for many years.

	In the Agora: Chipping Away at the Deadweight Loss of Christmas
		I took the occasion of last Black Friday to give some thoughts on the Deadweight Loss of Christmas, which I still think is an interesting phenomenon (hint: go read the post again before you go out shopping).
		First, I could easily surmise that it is due to a greater awareness of the deadweight loss of gift-giving.
		The "Deadweight Loss of Christmas" post is one of my top 5 favorite Wendling posts of all time.

	EconPapers: Tax Avoidance and the Deadweight Loss of the Income Tax (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Deadweight losses are substantially greater than these conventional estimates because the traditional framework ignores the effect of higher income tax rates on tax avoidance through changes in the form of compensation (e.g., employer paid health insurance) and through changes in the patterns of consumption (e.g., owner occupied housing).
		The deadweight loss due to the increased use of exclusions and deductions is easily calculated.
		These estimates using TAXSIM calibrated to 1994 imply that the deadweight loss per dollar of revenue of using the income tax rather than a lump sum tax is more than twelve times as large as Harberger's classic estimate.

		When animals are sent direct to an abattoir we use a standard calculation to convert the deadweight into an approximate equivalent liveweight.
		For bulls, steers and heifers we multiply the deadweight by 1.7.
		An animal will be rejected from the scheme if it fails to meet one of the eligibility criteria (see Part B of this guide) or if the ear tag found at slaughter does not match the one recorded on the OTM17 form or NAD.

	Definition of Deadweight Loss
		Deadweight loss is the inefficiency caused by, for example, a tax or monopoly pricing.
		This revenue comes at the expense of the consumer surplus and producer surplus that would have existed in the no tax equilibrium.

		The basic insight he provided was of what he called "The deadweight* loss of Christmas." This can equally mean the "The deadweight loss of Diwali." It arises from the fact that the recipient usually gets something he doesn't want.
		Deadweight loss consists of the net loss in social welfare on account of benefits differing from the foregone opportunity cost.
		If he has to choose something else or is given something else, the difference is the deadweight loss, said Waldfogel.

		Deadweight loss is an economic inefficiency - in this case introduced by a tax on a product.
		To calculate the deadweight loss we need to know the supply and demand curves (so we can calculate the quantity demanded at market efficiency and with the tax imposed) and the amount of the tax.
		New Demand Quantity: To calculate the deadweight loss from adding $100 tax we start by calculating the amount of cars that will NOT be sold due to the increase in price.

	Beck Song Information - Deadweight
		Beck has mentioned that this song was a part of his "Brazilian trilogy." As of 2001, however, he's only completed two parts, "Deadweight" and "Tropicalia." Unlike "Tropicalia," which is a bossa nova song, "Deadweight" uses its Brazilian influence more as part of a larger funky brew.
		The Midnite Vultures tour had notably few performances of "Deadweight." Despite that, the song was often fresh, filled with horns, electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards, jams.
		Basically, that night he played it in Atlanta, "Deadweight" took "Tropicalia"s bossanova arrangement—Smokey on guitar, Roland the drum machine, and Beck on piano and singing.

	Solving the Hedge Fund 'Deadweight' Fee Problem - Seeking Alpha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		An article by Mark Hulbert in last weekend’s New York Times (reprinted here in Friday’s IHT) refers to an MIT study on the “deadweight” fees paid by hedge fund of funds investors.
		The paper explains that an end-investor in a fund of funds often ends up paying performance fees even if their fund loses money because some underlying managers are always bound to produce positive returns.
		“Deadweight” refers to the actual performance fee paid above and beyond that which would have been paid on the average return of all underlying funds.
