| Abstract | The standard economic model of decision making assumes a decision maker makes her choices to maximize her utility or happiness. Her current emotional state is not explicitly considered. Yet there is a large psychological literature that shows that current emotional state, in particular positive a¤ect, has a signi...cant e¤ect on decision making.

Moreover, this paper shows that this simple insight can parsimoniously explain a wide variety of behaviors. |
