Deadweight Loss

The loss of economic activity due to excessive taxation. For example, suppose a person on welfare is offered a job that pays more than he/she receives in welfare benefits. If taxes are too high, however, the person may find that his/her aftertax income is in fact lower than what he/she was receiving on welfare. The person might then rationally decide to stay on welfare. The deadweight loss is both the cost of keeping that person on welfare and the loss incurred from the economy at large from losing that person's production. It is also called the excess burden of taxation.
