Amos Tversky Bücher
Amos Tversky war ein kognitiver und mathematischer Psychologe, dessen Arbeit unser Verständnis menschlicher Entscheidungsfindung maßgeblich prägte. Er trug maßgeblich zur Aufdeckung systematischer kognitiver Verzerrungen bei und deckte auf, wie Individuen Risiken wahrnehmen und damit umgehen. Seine frühe Forschung konzentrierte sich auf die Grundlagen der Messung, was zu einer bedeutenden mehrbändigen Abhandlung führte. In Zusammenarbeit mit Daniel Kahneman untersuchte Tversky die Psychologie von Vorhersagen und Wahrscheinlichkeitseinschätzungen und entwickelte die Prospekttheorie, einen wegweisenden Beitrag zur Verhaltensökonomie, der irrationale ökonomische Entscheidungen erklärt.

Choices, Values, and Frames presents an empirical and theoretical challenge to classical utility theory, offering prospect theory as an alternative framework. Extensions and applications to diverse economic phenomena and to studies of consumer behavior are discussed. The book also elaborates on framing effects and other demonstrations that preferences are constructed in context, and it develops new approaches to the standard view of choice-based utility. As with the classic 1982 volume, Judgment Under Uncertainty, this volume is comprised of papers published in diverse academic journals. The editors have written several new chapters and a preface to provide a context for the work.

Amos Tversky (1937-1996) was a towering figure in the cognitive and decision sciences. His work was ingenious, exciting, and influential, spanning topics from intuition to statistics to behavioral economics. His long and extraordinarily productive collaboration with his friend and colleague Daniel Kahneman was the subject of Michael Lewis's best-selling book, The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed Our Minds. The Essential Tversky offers a selection of Tversky's best, most influential and accessible papers, classics chosen to capture the essence of Tversky's thought
