Amnon Rapoport Obituary

Amnon Rapoport, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Management and Organizations at the University of Arizona, passed away on December 6th, 2022, and will be missed dearly by his wife, daughter, sister, grandchildren, and his many students and peers from around the world. Born in Israel and a graduate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Amnon received his doctoral degree in quantitative psychology from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and joined the University of Arizona in 1989. As a founding father of experimental economics and human strategic interaction, and with a career spanning over 60 years and three continents, Amnon's academic legacy is outstanding and incomparable. His memory will live on in the hearts of family, friends, students, peers, and in the generations of scholars and researchers that he nurtured and supported throughout their careers.

I am greatly saddened at a personal level, and I believe that the research community has suffered a great loss. My thoughts are with Maya.

He was a genius as a scholar, but also a really kind man. I was a grad student at the U of A between 2005 and 2010, and although he wasn't my advisor or even in my dissertation committee, he was always willing to provide feedback and had a genuine interest for the well-being of grad students. A great man. I will miss him sorely.

This giant of a man in the academic world was the sole reason that, mid-career, I found a new and exciting calling in experimental, behavioral economics. A great friend and amazing colleague. This man could untangle a web of messy writing (by his co-authors) and turn it into text with clarity and precision like no one I have ever known.
