emotions in economic behavior  

Definición

  • Emotions can influence economically relevant decisions in at least two ways. First, emotions expected to occur as the result of a particular course of action (e.g., happiness that might result from taking a vacation or regret that might result from not taking it) can be components of that action's desirability or “utility.” Second, emotions experienced at the moment of choice may influence expected utility or override deliberate consideration of expected utility.
