Welfare and Efficiency - End of Chapter Problem a. When the forces of supply and demand lead to an inefficient outcome economists call this a deadweight loss. it is a signal that the government needs to take ownership of that market including all the resources involved. economists call this a market failure. the economic surplus is maximized. 000 b. Classify each scenario as to whether it is likely to result in an efficient or inefficient market outcome.
