Introduction to Dead Weight Loss (Welfare Loss)

As we've learned in earlier lessons, markets tend to achieve equilibrium prices and quantities that are efficient, as the marginal benefit of a product to its consumers equals the marginal cost to producers. But what makes outcomes other than equilibrium inefficient? This lesson looks at the impact of disequilibria on consumer and producer surplus, introducing the concept of "deadweight loss" or "welfare loss", which will further help us understand what makes outcomes other than the equilibrium quantity and price inefficient.

    I had done this concept a year ago and I was quite confident with it. But you always seem to give an edge to my knowledge. Keep it up!

    How do we know that the producers with the greatest surplus will sell at 7? How come others that can make a producer surplus who can sell from 3 to 7 dollars won't be able to sell the beef?

    A little clarification, I thought the new producer surplus would be the very little triangle (3m) beneath and not including the rectangle (12m).

    Do tarrifs create a surplus of quantity or do they behave differently than other types of price floors?

    Why would you want to maximize total surplus ('welfare') where consumers are many and typically not wealthy and producers are few and typically very wealthy, as would be the case for many products? A dollar to a poor or average person would be worth more to them than to the fat-cat producers.
