Simulating strategic interactions with AI agents
Strategic 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 ...

A Test of the Coase Conjecture Using Prices of Electronic Books
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Coase Conjecture predicts that a durable‐goods monopolist without commitment will rapidly cut price toward marginal cost.
