| Abstract: | This paper integrates emotions with regular microeconomic theory. The authors focus on FDI decisions, and include both economic and emotional variables in our analysis of the firm's decision making process. The presence of emotions in FDI decision-making is tested using a sample of Dutch enterprises that considered an investment in Central or Eastern Europe between 1990 and 2000. It is shown that emotions are important in economic decision-making. The presence of positive emotions increases the chance of Dutch firms to engage in an FDI in Central Eastern Europe. |
