The Neuroeconomics of Anger

Daniel Zizzo

Homo Oeconomicus, 2004, vol. 21, 473-494

Abstract: This paper employs neurobehavioral and psychological evidence to argue that anger is an emotion associated to signi?cant cognitive processing in relation to economic decision-making. The medial and possibly other prefrontal cortex regions play an important role in anger processing, whereas the amygdala does not. Dichotomies between emotions and cognition are likely to be illusory, and care should be taken in generalizing mechanisms applying to one emotion to other emotions.
