Jerusalem, March 28

Daniel Kahneman, an Israeli-American cognitive psychologist and Nobel laureate in economics, has died at the age of 90.

Israel’s President Isaac Herzog in a statement on Wednesday said, “We lost one of the brightest minds we have known,” adding that Kahneman’s research has made history and changed the way humanity perceives reality, bringing great pride to Israel and the Jewish people as a whole.

“His research will continue to contribute to humanity and science even after his death, as will the many students he inspired,” the Israeli President was quoted by Xinhua news agency as saying.

Kahneman was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2002 for integrating psychological research insights into economic science, particularly focusing on human judgment and decision-making in uncertain situations.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
