ALLOCATION EFFECT

A change in the allocation of resources caused by placing taxes on economic activity. By creating disincentives to produce, consume, or exchange, taxes generally alter resource allocations.

This is one of two effects of taxation. The other (primary) is the revenue effect, which is the generation of revenue used to finance government operations.
