equity and efficiency trade-off  

Définition

  • EQUITY AND EFFICIENCY trade-off refers to the idea that while free markets perform quite well in producing economic efficiency, the market mechanism does not necessarily produce outcomes that a society would judge to be equitable. If a society values equity, it may be willing to sacrifice some efficiency in order to gain additional equity. [Source: Encyclopedia of World Poverty; Equity and Efficiency Trade-Off]
