Quick Glance: Daniel Kahneman, Pioneer of Behavioral Economics, Dies at 90
- Daniel Kahneman, an Israeli American psychologist and best-selling author, passed away at the age of 90. His award-winning research revolutionized economics and various fields by showcasing how people often abandon logical thinking and jump to hasty conclusions.
- Dr. Kahneman's research debunked the concept of 'homo economicus' and revealed that individuals frequently resort to intellectual shortcuts that lead to misguided decisions.
- He coined the term 'thinking, fast and slow' and illustrated how people are often overly confident, placing excessive faith in their intuitions.
- Kahneman and his colleague Tversky pioneered behavioral economics, applying psychological insights to economic decision-making and influencing behavior in diverse sectors.
