Daniel Kahneman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2002 for his pioneering work integrating insights from psychological research into economic science, especially concerning human judgment and decision-making under uncertainty.

 

He is a Senior Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.  He is also Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs Emeritus at the Woodrow Wilson School, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology Emeritus at Princeton University. 

 

Kahneman earned his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley.  During the past several years, the primary focus of his research has been the study of various aspects of experienced utility (that is, the utility of outcomes as people actually live them).

 

In addition to the Nobel Prize, Kahneman has been the recipient of many other awards, among them the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award of the American Psychological Association (1982) and the Grawemeyer Prize (2002), both jointly with Amos Tversky, the Warren Medal of the Society of Experimental Psychologists (1995), the Hilgard Award for Career Contributions to General Psychology (1995), and the Lifetime Contribution Award of the American Psychological Association (2007).
