Endowment effect - what your time is worth
well, there are a lot of things that would be hugely advantageous for me to undertake...
but, it all boils down to what my time is worth in dollars..
and then you have a few dilemmas
like, the endowment effect.. and my time.
see, i wouldn't get a job if it paid me $20/hour
that implies that I feel my time is worth more than $20/hour
also note that I'm not willing to pay someone else $6/hour even if they are half as effective as I am to help me complete tasks.
I would put a higher price on my time if I'm selling it, but I would not pay even half of that price if I were to be purchasing my own time.
if i was efficient, I would be willing to pay them $6/hour, or I would be willing to work for $20/hour
