Government Failure

A situation in which government intervention leads to the inefficient allocation of resources. This is not the same as a government intervention leading to an unpopular result. A government failure may prove popular, for example, if it subsidizes local jobs at the expense of more efficient companies elsewhere. Examples of government failure include crowding out and pork-barrel spending.
