Abstract

About twenty years ago, George Loewenstein (1996: 289) concluded that “[with] all its cleverness…decision theory is somewhat crippled emotionally, and thus detached from the emotional and visceral richness of life.” Since then, research on emotions and economy has grown substantially. A search in EconLit database in 2015 produced about 200 articles with the word emotions in their titles, with the bulk of these articles appearing after 2000.
