Advice for using Generative AI in finance research
Andrea Eisfeldt and I have put together an overview of the impact of Generative AI (PDF) on the finance industry and financial research that includes some practical advice on how to implement new techniques like retrieval-augmented generation, text classification, and embeddings using Generative AI, and which also summarizes recent research using these techniques and adds some personal reflections on using Generative AI in teaching and the research process - see an overview here:
Occupational exposure to Generative AI
I am working on research projects that measure the productivity potential of Generative AI in different occupations and firms. The data section on this website provides a link to download data that measure of the share of tasks that can be made more productive using Generative AI tools in most 6-digit occupations in the U.S. This data is used and described in detail in "The Labor Impact of Generative AI on Firm Values" (Eisfeldt, Schubert, Taska, Zhang, 2024). An example showing the relationship between this exposure measure and wages (aggregated to 2-digit occupational groups) is shown below:
