One intervention uses...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science Project Grant award of $234,489 supports collaborative research at New York University (NYU) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The primary objectives are to: Conduct a series of experiments to understand how people form subjective causal models based on observed data patterns, and how these models may be influenced by preconceptions triggered by natural contexts. This will provide insights into how economic...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $200,000 to Duke University to conduct a cross-national study using generative artificial intelligence, social simulation models, and online experiments.
