Amos Tversky Livres
Amos Tversky était un psychologue cognitif et mathématicien dont le travail a profondément façonné notre compréhension de la prise de décision humaine. Il a joué un rôle déterminant dans la découverte de biais cognitifs systématiques et a révélé comment les individus perçoivent et gèrent le risque. Ses premières recherches se sont concentrées sur les fondements de la mesure, aboutissant à un important traité en plusieurs volumes. En collaboration avec Daniel Kahneman, Tversky a exploré la psychologie de la prédiction et du jugement de probabilité, développant la théorie des perspectives, une contribution essentielle à l'économie comportementale qui explique les choix économiques irrationnels.
Choices, Values, and Frames

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
