Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources Research Seminar

Area Administration Psychological research on clinical vs statistical predictions and more recent research with AI has demonstrated that algorithms make more accurate predictions than humans in many domains. Geopolitical forecasting is a domain with sparce, hard-to-quantify data and elusive reference classes that make predictive model-building difficult. When forecasters make geopolitical predictions, the stakes can be high, and mistakes can lead to the possibility of mass-casualty consequences. These forecasts are often done by humans, although algorithms play important roles. In past geopolitical tournaments hosted by the US Advanced Research Projects Activity, we found support for four psychological drivers of predictive accuracy: finding the right people, training people in probabilistic reasoning, putting people in teams, and placing the very best people (top 2% of performers) in elite teams that worked together. These drivers improved both calibration and resolution.  Statistical algorithms increased the accuracy of the ag… Subtitle: Improving Predictions with Humans and Algorithms.

Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources Research Seminar

Area Administration This presentation will focus on the latest research initiatives of the Good Judgment Project (past accomplishments covered in detail in the Mellers talk). Specifically, how much further is it useful to take the talent-spotting agenda (the search for “superforecasters”), the talent-cultivation agenda (more advanced training in probabilistic reasoning) and the aggregation agenda (more powerful algorithms for extracting wisdom from crowds)? The presentation will also emphasize the need for the next generation of forecasting tournaments to incentivize not just the production of well-calibrated, high-resolution forecasts but also of high-information-value forecasting questions and high-heuristic-value explanations for forecasts. I will discuss the challenges of developing metrics for these new constructs as well as recent applications to debates among experts on technology and national security on topics such as the impact of AI on economies and the risks of a Sino-American war in the 21st century.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration Financial disputes are a widespread but understudied feature of consumer financial markets. Using confidential data from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), we analyze nearly two million consumer complaints filed since 2014, which have led to an average payout of $1,470 per successful complaint. The volume of complaints and total restitution have increased substantially over time, suggesting significant scope for additional compensation. When understanding who secures restitution–and why–we find little evidence that differences across firms systematically drive restitution outcomes. Instead, product complexity and consumer engagement play key roles–consumers with higher income and education (high-SES) are more likely to explicitly request refunds, claim fraud, and submit supporting documentation, making firms more responsive. Leveraging previously unexamined CFPB monitoring reviews, where the agency systematically screens company responses and issues confidential reports highlighting deficiencies… Subtitle: The Hidden Costs of Financial Services: Consumer Complaints and Financial Restitution.

Operations Management Research Seminar

Area Administration This study explores the impact of technical and social information on human acceptance of algorithmic recommendations in a healthcare context. Specifically, we examine interactions between patients and an artificial intelligence (AI) gatekeeping app that recommends specialty care based on symptoms provided by patients. In a field experiment conducted at a large hospital, patients were randomly assigned to four groups, each receiving AI recommendations in one of four information provision scenarios: (1) recommendation only, (2) recommendation with the technical information of algorithm accuracy, (3) recommendation with the social information of peer acceptance, and (4) recommendation with both algorithm accuracy and peer acceptance. Our analysis shows that patient acceptance of AI recommendations increases with algorithm accuracy or peer acceptance when they are presented independently. When both types of information are disclosed, peer acceptance dominates algorithm accuracy in influencing patient acceptance… Subtitle: Information Disclosure and Acceptance of Algorithmic Advice: A Field Study on Human-AI Interaction in Healthcare Gatekeeping.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration Although exogenous supply shocks are central to identifying demand curves in other areas of economics, the asset pricing literature has relied on demand-side instruments. We fill this gap by exploiting an exogenous and uninformed supply shock: the  2016 Tick Size Pilot. While treatment and control firms announced similar levels of repurchases, treatment firms repurchased 20% fewer shares due to unforeseen conflicts between the pilot and repurchase regulations. The random assignment of treatment allows us to control for price spillover effects under a difference-in-differences framework. We estimate a relative price multiplier of 2.01 and show that households and investment advisors (e.g. hedge funds) absorb most of the supply shocks. Subtitle: Asset Pricing with Supply Shocks.
