Endowment Effect

The Endowment Effect describes the tendenca of individuals to place greater value on objects they own than on the same or a similar objekt they do not own. In this module, evidence for the universality of the endowment effect is studied using a representative sample. In addition, measures of loss aversion can be linked with the trading decision in the experiment.
