Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky's joint papers from the 1970s and 1980s have significantly influenced research, transforming statistical thinking into a major focus. Their work revived the concept of heuristics, which had been largely forgotten at the time. Gerd Gigerenzer discusses this legacy in the Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics.
