🚨 Hi #EconTwitter! I’m on the #EconJobMarket, and I’m excited to share my #JMP on “Costly Job Search with Inattentive Workers”.

🙋🏻‍♀️ How does workers' limited attention shape their job search behaviours? And critically, what does this mean for labour market efficiency?

Cheap talk isn't cheap.
🚨 In our new paper "Large Language Models can Predict Human Strategic Decisions" (with Pedro Gonzalez-Fernandez @pedrofide and Helena Normann), we show LLMs can predict human strategic choices from chat transcripts, beating incentivized human forecasters in classic games and with accuracy well above chance.

Back in 2023, we explored using Economics Games to evaluate LLMs’ intelligence and reasoning

Feel free to check out our paper here: https://t.co/d7GCwBR01E.

Excited to see the community embracing games as a way to measure these capabilities!

A bit of a delayed post, but not too late to say how grateful I am to have spent the last semester at @Columbia! Big thanks to the wonderful folks at the Cognition and Decision Lab, and especially my awesome host—couldn’t have asked for a better experience 💫🥰

Policy Implications 📢
- Strengthen pay transparency laws
- Align workers’ prior beliefs with market conditions
- Consider equilibrium selection measures
These insights matter for reducing labour market mismatch and improving market efficiency.
