🧵 1/11 Half of U.S. adults already use AI for financial advice: what advice are they getting? New paper: we ask people to write prompts seeking financial advice from LLMs & simulate the lifetime impact of following that advice (w/ @timdesilva, @wdwlin & @AkuzawaMatthew)

A lot of my research works with big data and long pipelines. I wasn't able to find examples of a skill for unit tests on such environments (I'm sure it's out there though!) so my lab put one together. It has multiple modes depending on data complexity. github.com/uchicago-bfi-g…
Peter Ganong@p_ganong

I’m looking for examples of AI-based workflows for econ/social science research. Two particular qs (not related to each other) 1) examples of test-driven development for an AI writing code? 2) examples of AI writing and testing a data build which is long and expensive to run?

@rebeccardiamond @JohnHCochrane My understanding is that grade disclosure is always up to students (I don't think schools can share grades unless students request it). Booth students often agree among themselves not to share grades but my understanding is that top employers routinely ask for and receive grades.

The Booth B+ GPA cap in each class also cuts down on grade complaints. You tell a student their ranking in the class point distribution and it is very hard for them to argue for a higher grade when there is a hard cap. @JohnHCochrane 's proposed refinement would be even better.
John Cochrane@JohnHCochrane

It’s pretty easy. Impose grade average. Chicago booth has done it for decades. Computer won’t take grades otherwise. Refinement: average out =average in so hard classes that attract good students not penalized.

💯 Here's the thing: the current UI system is very poorly designed to help white collar workers. For starters, the weekly benefit caps in many states make the replacement rates very low for middle class workers (e.g., $235 in MS). So yes, it would be great to fix UI.
Martha Gimbel@marthagimbel

Our current UI system is actually equipped to handle very little. It takes forever to get approved, benefits are often skimpy, etc. You don’t have to think mass layoffs are coming to want to fix UI. But if you think technological change is coming you should REALLY want it fixed

Time to tweet about a great new-ish paper from Christina Patterson (disclosure: my wife!), @p_ganong, @pascaljnoel, @JoeVavra, and @AlexWeinberg_ that I think is in a sweet spot of “things economists don’t think about enough” and “true and important” – earnings fluctuations! 1/n

It is nearly impossible to fine tune fiscal policy as the situation becomes clear. But monetary policy can do this. Jason notes that the Fed was indeed too slow. So then is this obviously a failure of Biden, or of the Fed?

But another reason to potentially favor going too big over going too small is asymmetry in the Fed’s toolkit. If fiscal policy does too little and the Fed is already at its constraint it is hard to fix. But if fiscal policy ends up being too expansionary the Fed can counteract.

One thing that confuses me in the debate between @jasonfurman and @econJaredB over the Biden econ policy record, and in particular culpability for inflation, is that the Fed is hardly mentioned.

I wrote a short paper with @BaiyunJ and @EXjiang about property taxes! Some takeaways: 1. Property taxes are big: if r=5%, a 2.5% property tax extracts 33% of the value of a house! 2. Taxes are long-duration: they have interest rate sensitivities equal to 30+ year bonds!
