PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) - Princeton University is using a
hefty gift from an anonymous donor to open a behavioral science and public
policy center.
NJ.com reports (http://bit.ly/1FM1Has ) Princeton
announced the $10 million gift Monday. It's using the money to create the
Daniel Kahneman and Anne Treisman Center for Behavioral Science and Public
Policy.
The university says the donor has long been an admirer of
Kahneman and Treisman, who are married.
Officials say the center will build on research that
earned Kahneman a Nobel Prize in economic sciences in 2002. The work integrated
psychological research with economics and focused on decision making under
uncertainty.
University President Christopher Eisgruber says the gift
will allow the university to deepen its efforts in a "promising" area
of teaching and research.
