Abstract
This paper studies the implications of the endowment effect on the Coase Theorem. The endowment effect places a sharp bend or kink in the traditional indifference curve. Applying this result to the traditional two-party exchange model using Edgeworth box analysis identifies and explains the large no-trade zone found in the endowment effect literature. The Edgeworth endowment model explicitly shows that the endowment effect does not result in an inefficient volume of trade as previously thought.
