	Daniel Kahneman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Daniel Kahneman (born 1934 in Tel Aviv, in the then British Mandate of Palestine, now in Israel), is a key pioneer and theorist of behavioral finance, which integrates economics and cognitive science to explain seemingly irrational risk management behavior in human beings.
		Kahneman spent his childhood years in Paris, France and moved to Palestine in 1946.
		Currently a faculty member at Princeton University and a fellow at Hebrew University, he is the winner of the 2002 Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (colloquially known as the Nobel Prize in Economics) for his work in prospect theory, despite being a research psychologist and not an economist.

		Kahneman, Daniel, born in 1934, Israeli-born American psychologist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics in 2002 for integrating insights from psychology into economic research and thereby laying the foundation for a new field of research.
		Kahneman’s research challenged the long-held assumption that people make economic decisions rationally, based on their own self-interest and according to the available information.
		Kahneman’s research, which was conducted with his colleague Amos Tversky, showed that people sometimes make irrational economic decisions that are not in their best interests.

	Daniel Kahneman - Autobiography
		In these and in other experiments of the same kind (Schreiber and Kahneman, 2000), people make wrong choices between experiences to which they may be exposed, because they are systematically wrong about their affective memories Our evidence contradicts the standard rational model, which does not distinguish between experienced utility and decision utility.
		I have had three adversarial collaborations, with Tom Gilovich and Victoria Medvec (Gilovich, Medvec and Kahneman, 1998), with Ralph Hertwig (where Barbara Mellers was the agreed arbiter, see Mellers, Hertwig and Kahneman, 2001), and with a group of experimental economists in the UK (Bateman et al., 2003).

	Universität Würzburg - Lehrstuhl für Psychologie II
		In Würzburg wird Kahneman für seine Beiträge zur experimentellen Erforschung höherer geistiger Prozesse geehrt - ein Gebiet, das in der von Oswald Külpe 1896 begründeten "Würzburger Schule der Psychologie" erstmals zum Gegenstand der psychologischen Forschung wurde.
		In der Widmung wurde erwähnt, dass Daniel Kahneman den Nobelpreis für Wirtschaftswissenschaften vor allem auch deshalb erhielt, weil es ihm gelungen sei, Erkenntnisse aus der psychologischen Forschung in den Bereich der Wirtschaftswissenschaften zu integrieren, insbesondere was den Bereich menschlichen Entscheidungs- und Urteilsverhaltens unter Unsicherheit anbelangt“.
		Kahneman zuwende, muss ich noch einen weiteren bedeutenden Wissenschaftler erwähnen, dessen Denken stark von Külpe und der Würzburger Schule beeinflusst wurde und bei dem sich der heutige Würdenträger, zumindest in intellektueller Hinsicht, in bester Gesellschaft befinden würde.

	Swarthmore Psychology: Experiences vs Memories and Judgments: Where Is the Relevant Self?
		Kahneman has shown that human memory for emotionally significant events is importantly different from the actual experience of these events, though it is usually the memory, and not the experience, that influences people's decisions to experience the events again.
		Kahneman's research has broad implications for many different areas of social and public policy that are concerned with assessing and promoting human well-being.
		Professor Kahneman's research on judgment and decision making over the last thirty years, much of it in collaboration with the late Amos Tversky has essentially shaped a new discipline, sometimes called "behavioral economics." The work has had enormous impact throughout the social sciences, making Dr. Kahneman perhaps the most influential living psychologist.
