I wrote a full guide for economists who have never used Claude. Mental model, setup, hard rules, FAQ on the Dropbox mistake, common failures.

Take a look and tell me what is still missing.

AI in economics research day at UoB

We also find that these effects grow with greater exposure to teachers and are partly shaped by peer dynamics and students’ beliefs.
Overall, the study highlights the key role of teachers as institutional agents in shaping social preferences.

[Amalia Di Girolamo @ami_digi]

Excited to share that I’ll be presenting our study, “Institutional Transmission of Social Preferences”, joint work with @GiannolaMichele and Julen Zarate Pina

[Amalia Di Girolamo @ami_digi]

These results hold even after accounting for cognitive skills, personality traits, and socio-economic background.

The only degrees worth doing will be degrees in critical thinking. Has to be pushed in econ and elsewhere

Nice paper coauthored by Birmingham’s Ted Pinchbeck

I’m grateful to @ericschmidt for endorsing my forthcoming book, HUMAN RAISED. My hope is we can talk about AI not as a force for good or bad, but as a tool that we can use when it supports human flourishing and avoid when it supports human replacement.

From field experiments to policy interventions at scale.

My latest commentary @ScienceMagazine - after reading @Econ_4_Everyone hard to think of anything else!

When Elinor Ostrom applied for a PhD in economics she was turned away. Undefeated she took on a different doctorate and in 2009 was the first woman to receive the prize in economic sciences.

Almost 1 Y post-release, the #Menopause #Penalty paper is still generating press attention! https://t.co/JkcFm9SmUE Tx @PatyOrtegaM @eleconomista

The economic costs of menopause are real — affecting employment + reliance on social transfers.

Must read post from Adam. AI has been blamed for weak market for college grads, but the market for non college grads looks the same!

Excellent tool for social science research. Those working with LLMs know how sensitive output is to non-instrumental, subtle differences in prompts. GABRIEL is a wrapper that generates standardized prompts for classification of qualitative data, eg labeling tilt in speeches.
