| distance |
The distance between two points can be defined in ways other than euclidean. In the plane, the L m -distance between points p 1 and p 2 is given by the expression (|x 1 - x 2 | m + |y 1 - y 2 | m ) 1/m . (See page 962)

| distortion |
Restrictions that prevent the market from equating social benefits and costs of an economic activity. For example, the market price of cigarettes does not reflect the indirect effect (externally) on third parties (other than the producer and the smoker), resulting in too many cigarettes being produced and consumed. The total social cost of smoking is higher than the private cost.
