The Endowment Effect: Unique Predictions From a Cognitive Elaboration Account
The endowment effect is a widely documented phenomenon whereby sellers demand a higher price for the same good relative to buyers. This work proposes a novel account for the endowment effect based on cognitive elaboration. This cognitive elaboration account provides new predictions about when endowment increases versus decreases consumers’ evaluations.
