Twо оtherwise-identicаl nаtiоns, Kolvаra and Estenia, bill residential electricity differently. In Kolvara, electricity is billed as a flat $60/month fee regardless of usage. In Estenia, electricity is metered and bills vary month to month with usage, averaging $60/month as well — so the two systems carry the identical expected cost. A policy think tank asks a resident of each nation to name a price for switching systems. Marta, a Kolvara resident currently on the flat fee, says she would need to be paid at least $45/month to voluntarily accept switching to the metered plan — her willingness-to-accept (WTA). Erik, an Estenia resident currently on the metered plan, says he would pay at most $15/month to switch to the flat-fee plan — his willingness-to-pay (WTP). The two systems have the same $60/month expected cost, and Marta and Erik are being asked about the same underlying trade (flat vs. variable billing at the same average price). Using the endowment effect, explain why Marta's stated WTA ($45) so greatly exceeds Erik's stated WTP ($15). (9 points) A national regulator wants to decide whether switching an entire country from flat-fee to metered billing (or vice versa) makes residents “better off,” and proposes averaging the WTA and WTP figures collected in each country as a measure of how much people value each system. Explain one specific problem with this approach, given what the WTA/WTP gap reveals about how current endowment shapes stated valuations. (9 points)
