Daniel Kahneman is an internationally renowned psychologist whose work spans cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, and the science of well-being. In recognition of his groundbreaking work on human judgment and decision-making, Kahneman received the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economics, a field that increasingly bases economic models upon psychological models of information processing. Kahneman’s award-winning research showed that many human decisions, especially those made in a state of uncertainty, depart from the principle of probability. With his longtime collaborator, Amos Tversky, Kahneman laid the foundations for the new field of behavioral economics. Daniel Kahneman is currently the Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology at Princeton University and Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
