New paper on human-AI interaction
In a new working paper (available on my faculty page: https://www.uibk.ac.at/smt/international-management/research/), Ben Greiner (http://ben.orsee.org/), Philipp Grünwald, Georg Lintner, Martin Wiernsperger (https://www.wu.ac.at/ifu/about/ifu-team/martin-wiernsperger/), and myself explore how people interact with AI-driven decision-support systems. We specifically look into incentive structures, and differences between “pure” AI advice, and human-augmented AI advice.
New paper on ML in JIBS
Together with my co-authors Jonas Puck and Alain Verbeke, we have published a new paper on how ML may help IB researchers in solving tricky econometric challenges, particularly when no clear econometric solution exists. Check out the paper (open access of course) here: https://doi.org/10.1057/s41267-022-00549-z.
