Have you ever wished you were a hero? If so, how much would you be willing to pay to become one? In this study, we estimated the economic value of being a superhero or gaining superpowers using a different choice test. We focused on four major powers: mind control, flight, teleportation, and supernatural powers and the estimated values of each power. Our results show that out of the four strengths, our participants value mobile phone portability the most.
That’s according to a recently published paper by Julian J. Hwang and Dongso Lee. By John Whitehead.
