Question

Illustrate the logic of the endowment effect using a kinked indifference curve. Let the angle be greater than $90^{\circ}$. Suppose that the prices change, so the slope of the budget line through the endowment changes. Use a diagram to explain why an individual whose endowment point is at the kink will only trade from the endowment point if the price change is substantial.
