Economists have a hard time explaining how these work. In fact, the profession was in denial about their existence for a long time (but a Nobel Prize was awarded 2 years ago to Dan Kahneman, a psychologist, for producing the evidence that convinced Dr. Tuftehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397586052171706438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-1096051772302724282004-09-24T12:49:00.000-06:002004-09-24T12:49:00.000-06:00Very interesting study results.
