Glosary 6 - Activity 9

Market Failure/Falla de mercado: is the economic situation defined by an inefficient distribution of goods and services in the free market. In market failure, the individual incentives for rational behavior do not lead to rational outcomes for the group.
Externalities/Externalidades: a side effect or consequence of an industrial or commercial activity that affects other parties without this being reflected in the cost of the goods or services involved, such as the pollination of surrounding crops by bees kept for honey.
Deadweight Loss/Pérdida de peso muerto: also known as excess burden or allocative inefficiency, is a loss of economic efficiency that can occur when the free market equilibrium for a good or a service is not achieved. That can be caused by monopoly pricing in the case of artificial scarcity, an externality, a tax or subsidy, or a binding price ceiling or price floor such as a minimum wage.
Under-produced/Subproducido: produce less of (a commodity) than is wanted or needed.
Over-consumed/Sobre consumido: que consume mucho
