Tributes have been paid by academics around the world for Daniel Kahneman, the Israeli-American psychologist and one of the pioneers of behavioural economics, who died recently at the age of 90.
Kahneman, a professor at Princeton University, won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2002 — the first non-economist to do so.
