in israel there were some centers that the problem encountered by day care centers around the world and parents coming late to pick up their kids to have to stay with their children until the appearance came. so with the help of some economists, they instituted a fine for notifying parents and what do you think happened? there were more. why should this be? according to the standard economic reasoning, charging for something should decrease rather than increase the willingness to consume that. something similar to what was going on in the town before when parents came late they felt guilty they were composing some of the teachers and now there is a monetary fine they treated it as a fee-for-service like hiring a babysitter and you don't feel guilty when you pay money to a babysitter to perform a service of looking after the attitudes change, the monetary payment changed the relationship between the parents and the day care center and a crowd about the obligation to show up on time. with these examples illustrate is that a central assumption of standard economic reasoning may be flawed.
