A loss of deadweight is a cost to society that is caused by market inefficiency when supply and demand are out of balance. Deadweight loss, commonly used in economics, can be generalized to any deficit caused by inadequate resource allocation. Price ceilings, such as price controls and rent controls; price floors, such as minimum wages and living wage laws; and taxation can potentially result in losses of deadweight.
