Practical Solutions and Value of AI in Causal Inference
Introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs)
Endogeneity is a challenge in causal inference, but AI tools like LLMs offer practical solutions. They can rapidly discover instrumental variables (IVs) and provide justifications, enhancing research efficiency.
Benefits of AI-Assisted Approach
LLMs enable systematic searches for IVs, increasing validity testing opportunities and improving data relevancy. Constructing prompts guides LLMs to find valid IV candidates, fostering collaboration between AI and human researchers.
Two-Step Methodology for IV Discovery
The two-step approach breaks down complex tasks, improves LLM performance, and provides valuable insights. It offers flexibility for fine-tuning and adaptation to specific research contexts while maintaining a systematic causal inference process.
Future Directions and Collaboration
Future advancements may include incorporating known IVs to guide LLMs and exploring methods to enhance performance. Collaboration between human researchers and AI promises more robust IV discovery processes for insightful empirical research.
AI Integration for Business Transformation
AI can redefine work processes by automating tasks, identifying customer touchpoints, and improving KPI management. Selecting the right AI solution and implementing it gradually can lead to significant business impacts.
