Thank you for covering our research! In this paper, we utilize generative AI to extract and aggregate managerial expectations about the economy 🔮
Generative #AI can gauge managers’ expectations to forecast economic indicators, find @GeorgiaStateU’s @mjha91, Jialin Qian, and Baozhong Yang and @ChicagoBooth’s Michael Weber. ms.spr.ly/6018qumOo
My third paper, co-authored with @AsafManela and Hongyi Liu, is now available as a pre-print. We analyze public sentiment toward finance across countries and over time, investigating its influence on economic growth and credit expansion.
