The Lichtenstein-Slovic-Tversky-Kahneman Nexus: A Prehistory of Behavioral Economics (1969-1974)
We are excited to announce the availability of a working paper by Jean-Sebastien Lenfant, titled “The Lichtenstein-Slovic-Tversky-Kahneman Nexus: A Prehistory of Behavioral Economics (1969-1974)”. The paper is now accessible through the archives of GREDEG, an economics research unit at Université Côte d’Azur.
The paper explores and highlights pioneering contributions to judgment and decision-making research made at Oregon Research Institute (ORI) between 1969 and1974 by Paul Slovic, Sarah Lichtenstein, Daniel Kahneman, and Amos Tversky. The ground-breaking research conducted by this group of scientists during this pivotal period at ORI provided the foundation for the work that eventually led to the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economics for Kahneman and Tversky. Paul Slovic has recently returned to ORI as a Senior Scientist.
