Thanks for this reference... it reminds me of a few other similar ones
involving unintended and counter-intuitive outcomes:
Jevons Paradox:
as technological improvements increase the efficiency with which a
resource is used, the overall consumption of that resource may
actually increase rather than decrease.
Braess's Paradox:
Braess's Paradox states that adding extra capacity to a network,
such as a new road in a traffic system, can paradoxically reduce the
overall efficiency and increase congestion
Peltzman Effect*:*
safety regulations and devices (such as seat belts) intended to
reduce risk may lead to compensatory behavior, where individuals
engage in riskier behavior because they feel more protected.**
Moral Hazard:
situations where individuals or institutions take on more risks
because they do not bear the full consequences of those risks, often
due to insurance or other safety nets.
