While we like to think our financial decisions are based on logic, the truth is, they are largely driven by emotion. So when John Maynard Keynes looked for methods to measure economic fluctuations, animal spirits were a key ingredient. Karthik Sastry is a macroeconomist and assistant professor at Princeton University.

Sastry is coauthor with Joel Flynn of How Animal Spirits Affect the Economy published in Finance and Development magazine.
