Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / Hidden effects of taxation
English term or phrase: "came out behind"
Se trata de un capítulo titulado "Taxation and Efficiency" el cual aborda la teoría y medición de un concepto denominado en inglés "excess burden".

A continuación el párrafo donde aparece el término:

"To measure the excess burden, we must analyze Figure 15.9 closely. Begin by observing that as a result of the exodus of labor from the market, the value of output there goes down by abcd, the area under VMP(mkt) between H* y H(t). On the other hand, as labor enters the household sector, the value of output increases by aecd, the area under the VMP(home) curve between H* y H(t). Therefore, society *** comes out behind *** by area abcd minus area aecd, or triangle abe, which is the excess burden of the tax."
