No footnotes date June 2010 In behavioral economics , the endowment effect also known as divestiture aversion is a hypothesis that people value a good or service more once their property right to it has been established. In other words, people place a higher value on objects they own than objects that they do not. In one experiment, people demanded a higher price for a coffee mug that had been given to them but put a lower price on one they did not yet own. The endowment effect was described as inconsistent with standard economic theory which asserts that a person s willingness to pay WTP for a good should be equal to their willingness to accept WTA compensation to be deprived of the good. This hypothesis underlies consumer theory and indifference curves . The effect was first theorized by Richard Thaler . It is a specific form, linked to ownership, of status quo bias . Although it differs from loss aversion , a prospect theory concept, those two biases reinforce each other in cases when the asset price has fallen compared to the owner s buying price. This bias has also a few similarities with personal commitment commitment and attachment psychology attachment . Some economists have ... without reference to an endowment effect.
