This change in behavior shrinks the size of the market below the level that maximizes total surplus. Summary As a tax grows larger, it distorts incentives more, and its deadweight loss grows larger. Tax revenue first rises with the size of a tax. Eventually, however, a larger tax reduces tax revenue because it reduces the size of the market. Graphical Review The Effects of a Tax...
