I would like to fill out the Behavioral Economics section on Daniel Kahneman's page. It needs a little more historical background, since the merger of psychology and economics was a seminal moment in intellectual history. This is what I propose adding:

Often credited as a founding father of modern behavioral economics, Kahneman once described the impetus behind his interdisciplinary work with economist Richard Thaler in the early 1980s:

I happened to be involved in an encounter that had quite a bit to do with the birth of behavioral economics. More than twenty-five years ago, Eric Wanner was about to become the President of the

Amos Tversky and I met Eric at a conference on Cognitive Science in Rochester, where he invited us to have a beer and discuss his idea of bringing together psychology and economics. He asked how a foundation could help. We both remember my answer. I told him that this was not a project on which it was possible to spend a lot of money honestly. More importantly, I told him that it was futile to support psychologists who wanted to influence economics. The people who needed support were economists who were willing to be influenced. Indeed, the first grant that the Russell Sage Foundation made in that area allowed Dick Thaler to spend a year with me in Vancouver. This was 1983-1984, which was a very good year for behavioral economics. As the Edge Sonoma session amply demonstrated, we have come a long way since that day in a Rochester bar.

What does everyone think? Can we put this in the page?

Kahneman, 2003
I've updated the referencing/citation syntax of the article, however I can't find the original source for the many "Kahneman, 2003" references in the article. Could someone please provide a link to the relevant work so that I can update the reference scheme for that publication's citations (in a similar way to how I've just formatted the references)? There's also an awful lot of work to do here to properly reference the large amount of unsupported information in the article, so if local editors would like to throw books, journals, and URLs at the sentences, I'll be more than happy to format them. Cheers. (Did you notice how I used "Cheers" at the end of this post to try and engender a happier response—as per the "peak-end rule" theory?) :-) GFHandel &#9836; 07:22, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Personal
I've just added a section mentioning his wife, who is notable in her own right, but I couldn't get rid of the idiosyncratic formatting. Could someone more knowledgeable in these matters please correct this? Thanks in advance. Meltingpot (talk) 10:59, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
