When Better Opportunities Backfire: Service Worker Responses to Parallel AI Deployment in Customer Acquisition
As AI voice agents get deployed in high-volume contact centers, firms can route low-intent leads to AI and allocate high-intent leads to human workers.Stronger artificial intelligence breakthroughs hasten their own exhaustion
Progress in artificial intelligence is widely assumed to scale with effort: more researchers, papers and investment should accelerate discovery.Choose your own adventure: How data source selection shapes urban accessibility analyses
Urban park accessibility shapes mental health, physical well-being, and community cohesion.Market Efficiency in a Changing Asset Population: Mobility, Entry, and Survival over Cryptocurrency's Full History
Weak-form efficiency implies symmetry restrictions on the Markov chain governing movement across the cryptocurrency capitalisation distribution.TRACE: Governing AI-Assisted Research with Principles from Computer Science
Artificial intelligence (AI) makes it easier than ever to produce research outputs.How exposed is work to robotics? Occupational, industry, and geographic measures
Exposure indices that map technical capabilities onto occupational abilities have become a standard tool for anticipating how AI may reshape work, but existing measures either cover software AI or…How language model agents reshape price competition
Repeated Bertrand competition is a stringent benchmark for algorithmic pricing: in homogeneous-goods markets, standard learning procedures typically select the stage-game Nash outcome with prices…The Buffett Effect
We study whether stock disclosures by recognizable investors generate abnormal market reactions beyond the reactions produced by comparable but non-recognizable managers.Displacement Is Endogenous: AI Workers in a Search-and-Matching Labor Market
We build a labor market in which AI systems enter as workers: they apply for jobs, pass screenings, get hired, and get dismissed, alongside humans.Too Late to Prune: Generative AI, the Screen, and Team Creative Decisions
Generative AI makes options cheap and shifts the bottleneck of creative work from generating options to screening them.The Financing of Debt Relief: Intermediary Liquidity and the Value of Borrower Information
I study how intermediary liquidity affects mortgage resolution using 1.9 million Ginnie Mae buyout options from 2019 to 2022.AI-Mediation in Retail Markets: Revenue Effects and Assortment Optimization
AI shopping assistants increasingly influence which products consumers consider.Risk Ceilings and Development Deadlines: Pacing AI under Uncertain Safety Productivity
Can a regulator promise both a risk ceiling and a development deadline when safety productivity is unknown?Validity Without Ground Truth: What Stated-Preference Economics Offers the Evaluation of Language Models
Many of the questions now put to large language models have no correct answer to score against: what a policy is worth, which option a user should choose, how to weigh competing values.Personalized Recommendations Without Inducing Congestion: Mitigating Disparities in the NYC High School Match
Algorithmic recommendations can help participants navigate large matching markets.Who Keeps the Gains from Personal AI Assistants? Seller Adaptation and the Unassisted in a Language-Model Market Simulation
Personal AI assistants are beginning to transact for consumers, and early adopters capture real savings.Synthetic Cultural Agents from Aggregate Anchors
Population prompts are widely used to generate synthetic survey responses, but they combine information supplied at inference with associations already encoded during pretraining.Verified, not generated: expert-verified AI study materials and the distribution of learning gains in a university course
Experimental studies of generative AI in education mostly report average effects, yet field evidence shows that AI can narrow attainment gaps or widen them.A Simple Algorithm Breaking the 1/3 Barrier for Approximate Nash Equilibria in Bimatrix Games
The PPAD-completeness of computing Nash equilibria in bimatrix games has driven extensive research into polynomial-time algorithms for $ε$-approximate Nash equilibria.Shared Models, Selective Trading, and Order Flow
We study whether model diversity survives selection into trading.
