Simulating strategic interactions with AI agents

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary We explore how Large Language Models (LLMs) can serve as synthetic subjects to inform strategy research. We introduce a framework for designing and running simulated experiments with LLM‐powered agents. We argue that this approach is useful for rapid, low‐cost prototyping of human experiments and for generating novel ...

The Impact of “Mother‐Friendly Care” Accreditations on Patient Choice: Evidence From Brazil

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the impact of Brazil's “Mother‐Friendly Care” accreditation program on hospital choice. Using administrative data on births in the Brazilian public health system from 2008–2019, we estimate a nested logit demand model that allows for differential substitution patterns based on existing Baby‐Friendly Hospital Initiative (IHAC ...

Why Does Individualism Affect Economic Development: Is It Values, Policies, or Institutions?

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial body of literature highlights the positive roles of individualism and economic freedom in fostering prosperity, and recent work links the two. This paper disentangles their contributions to economic development. In cross‐country data, we show that both are independently associated with per capita income, even after extensive ...

ABSTRACT Explaining why people pay taxes has not been a central focus in the many important contributions of Jim Cox. Even so, I argue here that his work has greatly affected the way that we think about taxpayer compliance, by adding both directly and indirectly much needed realism to the theories and the applications of compliance. These contributions

Generative AI—the Transgression of Technology

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article offers a systems‐theoretical analysis of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) grounded in Niklas Luhmann's sociology of technology. It addresses a central conceptual problem: How GenAI can be understood within a theoretical framework that has traditionally defined technology as a means of stabilising action through causal ...

Facilitating System Change With GOSR: Integrating AI and Human Collaboration

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Problem solving in complex domains requires approaches that encourage systems thinking, collaboration, and recognize multiple simultaneous solutions. Building from principles of General Systems Theory and existing problem structuring methods, we present a new method for supporting system partners working to address complex problems called GOSR.

Probabilistic estimation of reliable sensor spacing for wire break detection in prestressed concrete using acoustic emission technique

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The acoustic emission (AE) technique has proven to be an effective method for detecting individual wire breaks in prestressed concrete structures affected by stress corrosion cracking (SCC). However, despite its widespread application, the quantitative assessment of AE monitoring reliability and optimal sensor placement remains unresolved ...
