Théorie des émotions et analyse économique : une revue

Author

Listed:
  • Emmanuel Petit

Abstract

Since Elster?s seminal review [1998], an abundant literature has revealed the growing interest of economists in the question of emotions. The introduction of emotion into economic analysis has been based essentially on a psychological and neurological conception of emotion. Developing a richer and more complete economics of emotions makes it necessary to also draw on other approaches to emotion from sociology, anthropology, history and philosophy. The objective of this article is to contribute to enrich the work of economists in this field by proposing a multidisciplinary state of the art of the knowledge derived from the theory of emotions. First, we identify the main stages of construction of this theory and we highlight the essential properties of emotions. Secondly, we show how this knowledge has been used in economic analysis, taking into account the diversity of approaches characteristic of the discipline.
