One Swallow Doesn't Make a Summer - A Note
Kataria, Mitesh - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
Maniadis et al. (2013) present a theoretical framework that aims at providing insights into the mechanics of proper inference. They suggest that a decision about whether to call an experimental finding noteworthy, or deserving of great attention, should be based on the calculated post-study...

Modelling Opinion Formation with Physics Tools: Call for Closer Link with Reality
Sobkowicz, Pawel - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 12 (2009) 1, pp. 11-11
The growing field of studies of opinion formation using physical formalisms and computer simulation based tools suffers from relative lack of connection to the 'real world' societal behaviour. Such sociophysics research should aim at explaining observations or at proposing new ones....

Generation Next : Experimentation with AI
Charness, Gary; Jabarian, Brian; List, John A. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
We investigate the potential for Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance scientific practice within experimentation by identifying key areas, directions, and implications. First, we discuss how these models can improve experimental design, including improving the elicitation wording, coding...

Empirical Asset Pricing via Machine Learning
Gu, Shihao - 2019
We perform a comparative analysis of machine learning methods for the canonical problem of empirical asset pricing: measuring asset risk premia. We demonstrate large economic gains to investors using machine learning forecasts, in some cases doubling the performance of leading regression-based...
