Suppose passengers on an airplane are randomly assigned to seats that are either on the aisle or by the window. Knowing that all passengers would prefer a seat by the window, the head flight attendant asks those who were assigned to an aisle seat how much they would be willing to pay to get a window seat instead. On average, the flight attendant finds that they would pay $20. Drawing on the insights of behavioral economics, you would expect that (on average) passengers who are initially assigned to a seat by the window would be willing to accept $20 to switch to an aisle seat. This is an illustration of
