That's what the agent owns before trading.

# Endowment of an agent

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-10-24)

I was going through the Shapley-Folkman-Starr Lemma (<https://simons.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/docs/3605/simons2.pdf>) and I came across the term "endowment" of an agent.

My assumption is that it represents a (sub)set of the agent's preferred bundles. Could someone please clarify this term?
