Step 1

DEADWEIGHT LOSS:

A deadweight loss could be a price to society as a full that's generated by an economically inefficient allocation of resources among the market. Deadweight loss may also be noted as an “excess burden.”

A deadweight loss arises sometimes once supply and demand, the two most basic forces driving the economy–are unbalanced. That is, they do not attain equilibrium. The result is that the allocative potency isn't as high because it could be. It doesn't reach its optimum level. With lower levels of trade, resource allocation across the economy is probably going to reduce economically.
