Richard Thaler’s research demonstrates that we do not always think and act in a completely rational way in economic matters. This mug is one of several mugs used for an experiment in 1991 about how we value things. Some research subjects received mugs as gifts while others did not. When the research subjects were asked to evaluate the mugs, it turned out that those who received a mug gave it a higher value than those that did not receive one. This mug was never given away and is the only one remaining of those used in the experiment.
Richard Thaler donated the mug to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2017. - Pristagare
