description This paper explores some principles of economic behaviour from a biological and psychological perspective, through a reflective analysis on the feasibility of understanding economic actions of individuals from a review of features of non-economic sciences. Emotions are emphasized as important factors in decision-making. Understanding these reasons helps improve the design and evaluation of public policies and investment decisions; furthermore, it is shown that the context of inequality and happiness affects the formation of the heuristic judgment.

Se destaca la importancia que tienen las emociones en la toma de decisiones. La comprensión de estas motivaciones ayuda a mejorar el diseño y la evaluación de las políticas públicas y las decisiones de inversión; además, se muestra que el contexto de desigualdad y felicidad incide en la formación del juicio heurístico.
