Daniel Kahneman

Nato: March 05, 1934 – Tel Aviv, Mandatory Palestine, British Empire

Daniel Kahneman is an Israeli-American psychologist and economist known for research on judgment, decision-making, and behavioral economics. He won the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences and co-developed prospect theory. His bestselling book Thinking, Fast and Slow brought decades of cognitive science to a global readership.

Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore

Daniel Kahneman was born in Tel Aviv in 1934 and spent much of his childhood in Paris, where his family lived during the rise of Nazi persecution. Those early experiences with danger, displacement, and uncertainty formed part of the backdrop to a life devoted to understanding how people perceive risk and make judgments. After the war, his family moved to what became Israel. He studied psychology, with a strong grounding in mathematics, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, then completed a doctorate in psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. An early turning point came during his service in the Israeli military, where he worked on evaluating recruits and became interested in the gap between confident judgment and actual predictive accuracy.
