The passing of Daniel Kahneman has created a great void in the field of Behavioral science. The first psychologist to receive the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2002, his work revolutionized Economics and Psychology. Together with Amos Tversky, Kahneman unveiled how human decisions are often influenced by cognitive biases.

His work has strongly influenced public policies and business strategies, favouring the establishment of nudge units to improve decision-making.
