congeriesKahneman, Smith Win 2002 Nobel Economics Prize
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Americans Daniel Kahneman and Vernon Smith shared the 2002 Nobel economics prize on Wednesday for work on how psychology affects people's buying decisions, and for developing laboratory experiments in economics.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said that Kahneman, 68, and Smith, 75, will share the prestigious $1 million prize for groundbreaking studies beyond the traditional assumption of rational human economic behavior driven by self interest.
Smith, born in Wichita, Kansas, is a professor of economics and law at George Mason University in Virginia.
"He has developed an array of experimental methods, setting standards for what constitutes a reliable laboratory experiment," the academy said.
Smith spearheaded "wind-tunnel tests" where trials of new market designs, such as a deregulated electricity market, are carried out in a lab before being implemented in practice.
Kahneman, born in Tel Aviv, is also a citizen of Israel. He is a professor of public affairs at Princeton University and the first Israeli to win the Nobel economics prize.
"Kahneman has integrated insights from psychology into economics, thereby laying the foundation for a new field of research," the academy said.
He discovered how human judgement may take shortcuts that systematically depart from basic principles of probability.

Re: Насчет Каhnemann'a
Date: 2002-10-09 10:47 pm (UTC)первое, что приходит в голову - зоны ближайшего развития. там тоже фокус на изменении, не на результате, а на процессе, который зависит от изначального состояния (которое меняется, соотвественно, меняя и весь процесс).
я бы, конечно, называл это всё экономической психологией, а не экономикой. потому что переход из одной системы координат в другую, вообще говоря, не очевиден. то, что демонстрируется на уровне одного человека, может и не работать на уровне "систем человеков"...
но надо побольше почитать, какие, собственно, они "эксперименты" делали...
спасибо ещё раз, приятный подарок с утра... :)
